@playnewworld email got, game downloaded, when will the servers be online?

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

@andymac7 Really not sure I should put this on the internet...

Coffee ✔️ H2O ✔️ Pink hat ✔️ Ready for planning day!

@mattbailey1978 Will diff work?

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Sadly this feel like de ja vu. Use context on your websites! We know so much about our users and use so little. Maybe 2018... #wds17 #webdirections

Curiosity machines. The art of using algorithms to spark human curiorsty. Help us be interested in things we don’t know we’re interested in yet! #wds17

Answer: design for extremes to the benefit of all @sarahtp #accessibility

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Designing for the average person means designing for no one. E.g. pick 10 average qualities - nobody will be all 10. See the problem? #wds17

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Print design can also be improved by tapping in to development techniques. Print style sheets+online forms+data sources etc. No inDesign skills required! #wds17

Japanese artist HYde JII helps us imagine what the dreams of an AI (algorithm based creativity) might look like. @feraldata #wds17

Feedback is most often given with positive intent. Make sure if you receive feedback to remember this! #wds2017

Talk 7: The designer as an agent of change. Blockers: 1️⃣ org must want to make good products. 2️⃣ org must believe that design is a key component to this outcome. Those are huge blockers! #wds2017

@aaronkhowell Thanks for contributing your thoughts. You have “I told you so” rights if it happens. ;)

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Agile jargon aside, some excellent general tips for more effective team meetings. Must come back and re-watch @nicolarushton presentation. #wds2017

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

@aaronkhowell I completely disagree. A bot can solve the easy to answer questions way more cost-effectively than humans thus freeing the humans up to help with more challenging stuff

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Talk 6: How retros (agile restrospectives) create amazing teams. Nice job of battling tech troubles on your first confernce presentation @nicolarushton #wds2017

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Again a reinforced message about developers needing to be heavily involved in the creation of a living style guide. And why a living style guide is the right choice for so many reasons.

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]

Talk 5: style guides, so hot right now. Waaay more than just lipstick on a pig #wds2017

[Jadon Hawkins @jadlak]
