Congrats to my former pals at @verge on the launch of their ambitious site redesign, which is aimed at building community and fostering conversations (and maybe convincing you to spend a little less time on Twitter)

Projects have scope creep; companies have… focus creep?

Thanks @justinmfarrugia for sending me this talk/article from @Padday with a more realistic perspective about a designer's role in an organization which isn't emphasized enough.

Generating powerful insights through contextual inquiry Simple

"UX researchers often fall into a trap — we rely too much on familiar techniques like interviews and usability tests. In our experience, the bulk of key insights come from observing users in their work context." Great guide from @Aartitoday

Adobe snaps up Figma for $20B, taking out one of its biggest rivals in digital design • TechCrunch

It’s been incredible to use Figma since it’s early days and watch it totally take over the industry to become THE tool in a few short years. It really showed the power of the web + collaboration would win. amazing exit for an amazing team

Research Questions Are Not Interview Questions — Mule Design

RT @mulegirl: A huge source of confusion in design research is the difference between research questions and interview questions. This costs time and money and I rarely see other people talking about it.

The (non)sense of online advertising: when the numbers don’t add up - The Correspondent

@Carnage4Life The global pandemic has been quite the confounding variable. There’s so much fraud & snake oil in targeted advertising. The bubble has been getting ready to burst for over a decade. I worked in, with, and on adtech just long enough to see it and get out.

@suresh_dot_com @Carnage4Life Good point. This piece explores some of that data. As far as I can tell, it appears ATT is a very convenient scapegoat. Relatedly, I've never seen an equitable behavioral targeting ad campaign outperform opted-in demographic/contextual/geo/tech targeting

Frank Chimero – From the Porch to the Street

I think about this a lot. Brings to mind @frank_chimero’s From the Porch to the Street: “…there is some value to Twitter, but the social musing we did early on no longer fits.” “…if you’ve been on Twitter a while, it’s changed out from under you.”

Strategic and necessary

“When I choose to see the good side of things, I’m not being naive. It is strategic and necessary.” Haven’t seen the movie but this resonates deeply.

“Solve a puzzle by gaining a new understanding of relationships between elements. Experience creative breakthrough after re-framing a situation. Understand a challenging concept after finding an analogy that integrates new ideas into existing knowledge.”
