@diegozaks Quick Question: is your open PD role full-remote-friendly?

[Chris Kobar @chriskobar]

Just got an email invitation to join the Illuminati. Wow, they finally acknowledge my value as a worthy addition to their gobsmackingly stupendous ranks.

@TheNEOarch @jason_coder0 Wrong. Back in the early 2000s there was NO gap. I never spent much time in "drawing" apps. I just had the idea and began writing HTML (and when it arrived, CSS, JS, LESS, Sass, frameworks, etc.). The only version of the product that existed WAS the working app front-end.

@AMD This is *exactly* what I envisioned and wrote about a year ago → https://t.co/kUb2nDIUNQ #design

Stop caring about every new "AI thing" you see. Instead, read this: https://t.co/ROS5smQFA1 #ux #design

@PawelHuryn Same exact problem that led to early 2000s "Browser Wars" -- a Chrome requirement. Lazy engineering that forces users to opt-in to an advertising-driven ecosystem, where privacy is contrary to their business goals.

I keep seeing AI products that are technically impressive...and socially clumsy. Read: The Manners Problem in AI Nobody Is Designing For https://t.co/1V5A1RpmNY #UX #design

@justinryanio Too. Cool. Amazing, the things we have not only envisioned, but brought into reality.

Still trying to figure out what it means to be a UX Designer now? Read: It Still UX Design? https://t.co/Y1W9XUQTHx #UXDesign #design

@venturetwins @GoogleLabs Of course it can. AI will be great at UI design. But it will never be able to autonomously “do” good UX. And that makes all the difference.

[Chris Kobar @chriskobar]

@alliekmiller Agree. The spoken language is the most immediately and essentially human form of communication and interaction.

[Chris Kobar @chriskobar]

@jmtrivedi Um…cool.

[Chris Kobar @chriskobar]

@nichochar I’ll definitely take a look!

[Chris Kobar @chriskobar]

@amirbaqian Sweet. I’m strongly of the opinion that there is a tremendous opportunity to disrupt the current ubiquitous edtech vendors, whose dominance came about due to forced adoption during a pandemic, rather than because they had great products. I’d love to be part of that.
