@erik_flowers This is what happens when product owners just won't abandon that last business requirement.

Our employers ask us to simplify for users but we use words like, "heuristic" and "affordance" in meetings. Think about it.

[UX Metaphor @UXmetaphor]

Let's get something straight. I exist to make sure users lives are easy. This does not always equate to easy lives for developers.

[UX Metaphor @UXmetaphor]

It's amazing... All of the sudden, everyone with an opinion is a world-class UX Designer. #smh #doyoueventalktousers ?

[Steve McGarvey @McVizual]

Stop calling yourselves #UserExperienceDesigners if you never talk to users. At best you're Educated Guess Experience Designers. #UX vs #UCD

UX is a blanket. Good blankets are warm and keep you dreaming forever. With bad blankets you toss and turn and you're never comfortable

[UX Metaphor @UXmetaphor]

It's sad that some designers forget that the 'U' in UX stands for 'User'. #uxbummer #youarenotyouruser #UCDsaveslives

[UX Metaphor @UXmetaphor]

A good user-centered design results in a good experience. Not all UX designs are user focused. Anything else is just guessing.

One way or another, users will have an experience with your product. Will it meet their needs?

UX is coffee. Good coffee keeps you coming back for the grind, taste, aroma, etc. Bad coffee is simply drinking caffeine. #UXmetaphor

@Chris_Mears_UX I'm in the middle of building one right now. Check out NNGroups whitepaper. Good resource.

Need to measure the effectiveness of your UI? Try the NASA task load index before and after you make improvements.

UX is B.B. King. The world will be a sadder place without it. #ByeByeBB #UXmetaphor

Bad UX jamming to your favorite song, buds in, volume cranked and getting a text notification.
