Heads up: I’m rarely on this app anymore, tho I came here every once in a while to see the 5 folks that haven’t made the leap to a place that is not such a toxic hell hole. So where am I these days? Well, I’m absolutely loving the UX & design community over on Threads. 🧡

@ugmonk We have a cabin (photos post renovation) but it’s not prefab. Commenting to follow the discussion.

@ugmonk Yes, one true way:

Seven years ago today I officially launched Craft & Rigor to help businesses that needed guidance on establishing, growing, & improving the effectiveness of design & research orgs. Visit to learn how I can help you & your business succeed.

I came back on here just to post this: Happy birthday, @joenatoli! I hope you are celebrating the occasion. I miss our chats and great discussions. Keep well my friend.

@juleschhghn Bluesky was very much lacking in terms of a design community. The experience was like the same three folks shouting into a void with no one there. Threads is absolutely banging.

Not that it’s going to help with the misinformation and false equivalency going on here today but I will not stand for glorifying violence.

@DougCollinsUX lol

@kevinbethune I get a bit anxious voting on Election Day, like I’m going to be late to my flight. I guess years of mail-in ballots will do that to you the moment you need to go in to vote. But wearing the “I voted” sticker is 👨‍🍳 💋 👌

So, when asked to participate in a design candidate interview process, lead with empathy, understand the context, and avoid the need to be the bouncer or gatekeeper for the design org. That won’t help you find the best talent. 5/

@_nick_heller_ @robably__ Exactly. I mean I would love this service to exist and automagically generate all my content. Specifically know exactly how the project went and why we did various things during the project without having to spend weeks in interview sessions answering questions about the work. 🤷‍♂️

@_nick_heller_ @robably__ Honestly I have a hard time imagining I could just sending over a Figma file and expecting to get back a depiction of what exactly happened on the project that is anywhere remotely near accurate for, say, AWS EC2 or AWS Lambda. I guess they would have to spend hours interviewing?

@DT_comic Doesn’t look too engaged in doing anything on the computer, must be looking at the timeline on Twitter. 😂
