So you as a designer want to add a simple birthday field to the settings page? Talk to your engineers as soon as possible because it may take more than a quarter to implement it.

Good explanations with videos why disabled buttons are bad.

[Adam Silver @adamsilverhq]

Disabled buttons are bad UX.

What you think they do and what they actually do are 2 completely different realities.

Here’s why 👇

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

Do you think it will make smart investments and build an online business?

@THE_Swissionary what do you think about these new possibilities?

[Andreas Bossard @AndreasBossard]

@cyrilmugglin Schedule recurring testing days, e. g. all 2 weeks. This makes sure that you regularly test with users.

[Andreas Bossard @AndreasBossard]

@cyrilmugglin Yes bi-weekly 1:1s. Can make sense to do them not only with your manager but also with some people that you work closely with in the cross-functional squad. Because it‘s important to get feedback quickly.

How UX writers can be supported with AI: AI (here ChatGPT) can be a powerful brainstorm partner.

[Erik D. Kennedy @erikdkennedy]

A bunch of the text was generated thanks to a brainstorm session with ChatGPT (by @OpenAI).

I mixed-and-matched some of the most compelling words and phrases it came up with 👍

Super powerful brainstorm partner.

It's easy to underestimate the complexity of a feature. e.g. "when to send a notification" could be an easy feature, right? Think again. Here is the workflow diagram from slack which shows how the decision is made. Source: https://t.co/PFSRtiv1G6
