@ryolu_ To dos are cool, but it's really frustrating to not see any level of progress. I just see a spinner and have no idea how long it's going to take.

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

@ryolu_ A way to easily create and manage a design system within Cursor. I really wish I could quickly import a system created in Figma (or even recreate it) within Cursor. I only want one source of truth and I find it cumbersome to try and get it spun up within Cursor.

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

@ryolu_ @cursor_ai I've been looking for this exact thing to manage/create a design system for cursor to reference. Looks awesome.

@AintGottaDollar, "Rich Men North of Richmond" really hit home with me.

Definitely brought tears to my eyes.

The emotion in your words blew me away.

I made a remix over the weekend.

P.S. If you want me to take it down, I will do so.

2/ Finally, I found some code that sort of resembled what I was trying to do.

So I copied it into ChatGPT and explained what I wanted the code to do... and BOOM it f**king worked!

This honestly is going to change the way I search for help online.

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

I recently used ChatGPT to write some code for me for our website and it worked! 🤯

This really opened my eyes to how something like ChatGPT will change the way UX designers work with developers and just work in general.

Here's what happened:

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

1/ I couldn't figure out some javascript for one section of our site.

It was driving me nuts.

I had looked for over an hour and a half and couldn't find a help site/article or working code that I could just copy and paste in.

So next time you encounter a failure in your UX design work, don't be discouraged.

Embrace it as a chance to grow and learn.

And who knows, your next "failure" might just lead to your biggest success yet.

#uxdesign #userexperience #productdesign #ux #failure

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

As a UX designer, I've learned that failure can be the best thing that can happen to a product.

That may sound counterintuitive, but hear me out.

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

We're constantly faced with complex problems to solve, and it's not always possible to get it right on the first try.

That's why it's important to embrace failure and see it as an opportunity to learn and improve.

[Colton Schweitzer @colton_schweitz]

Developing strong soft skills in addition to your technical abilities will make you a well-rounded and effective UX designer.

As a UX designer, it's not just about the technical skills and design expertise...

Soft skills are just as important for success in the field.

Here are some key soft skills that every UX designer should possess:

5️⃣ Adaptability: The UX field is constantly evolving, so being open to learning and adapting to new techniques and technologies is crucial for success.
