In high school, my counselor told me that I should prepare for a hard life because I wouldn’t amount to anything (ACT 36/SAT 1590). More recently, I interviewed for a job and was rejected because I couldn't code.

People are awful. Don't give up. Find friends who can build you up

1. Company hires very good team of designers
2. Nobody seems to listen to them
3. Company then contact outsider (in this situation: me) to "fix the UX and tell us what is wrong"
4. Outsider's answer "maybe you should just listen to your design team."

Incorrect - 'ghosting' is when a prospective employer has you submit a resume and cover letter, then fill out an online application with all the same details, answer a quiz, do a phone interview, a 1-hour in-person, a 4-hour second interview... then you never hear from them again

I am intrigued by the assumption that having designers in a meeting necessarily results in a good user experience. Good design skills may reduce the likelihood of bad design...but ego, inaccurate understanding, and broken culture can still get in the way.

I have an idea!

Companies should onboard employees with an internal podcast. It would focus on:

- Company history
- How decisions are made
- Industry 101
- How the company makes money
- Long-term goals and company vision

Fast, efficient, and fun for everybody.

How to learn nothing: 1. Insist that if you haven’t experienced it, it can’t be true. 2. Assume that others have some obligation to educate you. 3. Expect that genuine learning (i.e. mastery) is easy.

I realize I have a visceral reaction to people using “tests” in casual dating because my tolerance for emotional manipulation is zero.

[DEV Community @ThePracticalDev]

When an employer lists:

“Ability to work under pressure to meet sometimes aggressive deadlines.”

... in a job description, they mean:

“We set aggressive deadlines, and we will pressure you to meet them.”
