This part of our @highrespodcast interview with @jmspool was one my absolute favs, where Jared explains the "Thank you note" as a tool for getting clarity on the roles you're hiring for. https://t.co/lbrBc02yol Jared, have you seen companies post the thank you note with the JD?

A good prototype > A great looking deck

Julie is brilliant, this thread is excellent overall and the takeaway below is something you can action day-to-day right away. Simple idea, but big idea.

@InVisionApp @katearonowitz's unabashed "Show me a poorly functioning design team and I'll show you a non-existent product management function" on the criticality of strong product and engineering partners via @highrespodcast, has strengthened my resolve so. many. times. Thank you.

If you’re early in your startup product roadmap, pain/relief fit is far more important than product/market fit. It’s the precursor. Laser focus on a pain(s) that’s worth eradicating and the market will start to find you and PMF will be evident. Been learning this in recent months

We’re heartbroken to hear that August de los Reyes passed away due to complications with COVID. He was a champion for diverse teams — advocating that they have the best shot at combatting disabilities & exclusion.

He was a mentor to so many — including us.

RIP August ❤️

3.5 years later I still get many kind messages from listeners of @highrespodcast and I’m so grateful to this day that any of you gave it some of your attention! Content is seriously high leverage. Invest in content.

The recipe for getting ahead, in order of importance: Become a learning machine. Show initiative. Ask for work that has real accountability tied to it (put your behind on the line). It works every time.

Sales is the best research, sales calls is the best research method. Designers (really everyone) should learn how to sell. It’s such a science, been learning a ton from some solid sales folks the past few weeks. Amazing how little I know.

Good design and a bad business model cannot coexist in the same corpus.

Let's try an experiment! I want to start a mentorship circle with:

8 young female product designers (between 2-5 years PD experience, currently IC)
7 one-hour sessions over 3 months
6 topics (designing career, honing skills, confidence, etc.)

Know anyone? Please share widely!

I need to work with a researcher to run a quant analysis on a market survey I just did. It's ~25 questions and I can spend ~$2500 on the analysis. Anyone with a strong quant background here? To be clear, you won't need to write the survey, just do + report on the analysis.

What was your career unlock?

[Bobby from Dupe.com @ghoshal]

Your chances of being hired into the design role increase by 100% if you cheat and binge watch episodes of @highrespodcast before the interview. The answers are all there.

[Bobby from Dupe.com @ghoshal]

I urge every new designer to start their career in growth-design. It's humbling, you'll sharpen your numeracy and thinking, you'll prioritize the right user and business needs, you'll go beyond "this looks good" as your measuring stick. Those fundamentals matter a lot early on.

[Bobby from Dupe.com @ghoshal]

This is a good example of poor design with good intentions. Zero affordances on the UI to explain an actually very useful thing. It’s like hidden gestures on phones. If you don’t know it exists you’ll never feel the benefit.

[Bobby from Dupe.com @ghoshal]

It’s 2020, designers aren’t allowed to say “we have no power” and “no one listens to us.” Businesses get the power of design or are ready to try to understand it better. Your job is to bridge the gap in understanding or work for someone who knows how and learn how to.

This is a good/fun resource

@mattfaulk Did an audit of these recently:

I found the Snapchat example to be most helpful for product design if that's relevant. It's a nice systematic breakdown of motion guidelines. Hope that helps.
