Hey all 👋 I wrote a book with a design friend. It's a handbook that covers the five major product design methods and the lesser-known alternatives. There wasn't a good resource that explains them all (with pros & cons, etc), so we decided to create it.

The handbook that I helped write on Product Design Processes is 50% off this week with the code: CYBER50. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Gem alert: Product Design Process Handbook (https://t.co/3PqsgibQNs), practical book on major product design methods — design thinking, double diamond, lean UX — and alternatives.

A wonderful gift for product managers, product designers and engineers. By @iamfinch and Evan Ames.

This was an A+ purchase, especially the "pros and cons" section! Guess which one has this con "Potential for abuse by leveraging the terms for profit" 😂

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

This is exactly why we wrote it!

[Sarah Baker Mills @starsoup7]

Design leaders: a great gift for designers on your team who, like me back in the day, could get a little overly rigid on process when feeling overwhelmed. A really frank/honest overview like this would have helped me realize sooner that there's no such thing as perfect or correct

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

@starsoup7 Appreciate the review, Sarah! This is exactly why we wrote it.

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

@_satterlee_ Appreciate your support my friend!

@RianVDM I saw that, thank you!

I'm about to release a project I've been working on. It's an iPhone app focused on casual photography and video. I could use a few more people to take it for a spin, smash all the buttons, and give me some honest feedback. Sign up at https://t.co/10oQ1fhDX0 #betatesters

@mar15sa Good observation. I’ve worked remotely for years and forgot about this. Being an introvert and doing extrovert things is very draining.

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

When I click on an article and end up on a product's blog, I don't like the feeling that I've been suckered into their content marketing funnel.

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

@JanelSGM Agree! I also think removing parts of social media also helps. I recently did this: https://t.co/IBoccolrUS

I figured out how to make LinkedIn much better (less FOMO and imposter syndrome, more value.)

I unfollowed *everything*: All of the people and organizations that LinkedIn had me auto follow at one point, without any choice on my part.

Worked so well that I think I’ll do this for other platforms.

I’m adding things back in *only* if there is some value. Honestly, it’s so much better and I feel back in control.

Lol imagine if files and folders got heavier the bigger they get

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

P.S. I didn’t make up the term 'tooler.' The first time I saw it was in a blog post by @Vonster (a long time ago).

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

Something I’ve been thinking about:

We all begin as a tooler (a tool reliant person—sometimes getting stuck there) and then later evolve into more of a critical thinker within our chosen career.

Are we all too obsessed with tools? What is the impact?

More thoughts in the 🧵

[Francisco Inchauste @iamFinch]

I think it’s interesting to consider what would happen if we shifted from being toolers to thinkers and taught people differently. I’m curious if you agree with this. I’m more interested if you don’t agree and why 😉
