I’m psyched to share my interview in @dscout’s People Nerds.

We cover “research strategy” vs. “strategic research,” why research strategy isn’t just a leadership concern, the problem with most discussions of democratization, and more.

@Phil_Lewis_ Why’s everybody talking about James Brown when this is clearly Mystikal?

@nikitabier …and users request specific solutions, which doesn’t help you understand the opportunity space, which may be much bigger than individual users can perceive. Again, those projects cost much less than $1M and saved way more than $1M. In short, this is terrible advice.

@nikitabier I have personally driven the reprioritization of 2 eng teams’ work based on user research I conducted, which I should add cost much less than $1M but saved well over $1M. They were using user comments, but didn’t get that vocal users aren’t representative…

@leeloowrites Good question. I need to rewatch. I didn't think so, but now you've got me wondering.

@leeloowrites @nicbertino I gave up gaming when my daughter was born but this show is tempting me to return

@leeloowrites Thank you for sharing this. Congratulations on writing your own story, literally and metaphorically. I hope the next chapter is more supportive, validating, and fulfilling than this chapter has been. ✊

I'm convinced the most important voices in UX are women of color, usually Black women. And we are losing them. We are losing the most vital voices, those who call for UX to live up to its promise, because we talk about inclusive human-centered design but we don't manifest it.

@ParissAthena When I’m looking for macroeconomic analysis, I usually go with a guy in a filthy hat sitting alone in his car

@DocDre Honestly this is an impressive distillation of techno-chauvinism, with an emphasis on the chauvinism

[Chris Geison @ChrisGeison]

@DocDre oh ffs

@beccanalia I'm good, honestly. (Thank you for asking) Everything in my life is pretty fantastic except for my employment status!

It says a lot about my own disengagement from twitter that I forgot to post my sobriety anniversary yesterday & getting laid off on 12/8. It makes me sad. I've learned so much from this site, laughed so much from this site, made friends through this site, and now... :shrug:

If you're stuck, struggling, or sinking, there is a way out. Only you can do it. BUT you don't have to do it alone. In the US, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357.
