@opodo Beware! This company are scammers. Spend money on fixing your operations!!!

[Katya Lakshtanova @katya_lak]

Warning not to use @opodo for travel booking, they’ve become a genuine fraud now. Bought tickets, but could not add luggage, when called to add it they requested £250. Just shocking! Is there anything could be done?

[Rosa Rubicondior @RosaRubicon]

Can anyone think of anything good to say about @opodo? Why give your money to a company that no-one trusts? #Scammers

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.

So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)

I believe there is a fundamental disconnect between the way designers and business people think. A disconnect that causes a huge amount of personal dissatisfaction. Let me try and explain...

[Kim Goodwin @kimgoodwin]

An often-overlooked team skill is the ability to dissent & commit. Argue for your point of view, but once it’s clear a decision is made, do your best to make it successful. [Exception: I would never suggest committing to unethical decisions.]

@katyarnie @HODigital Wow! So glad to hear that Katy, you’ve been inspiration for so many of us. We have a hope :)

@indiyoung How can we make team pause in the understanding stage for a bit when the focus is delivery?

[Indi Young (she/her) @indiyoung]

All this focus on ideas makes it tempting for people to skip over the understanding part. Instead, if you think of the problem space as understanding a person (not a “user” or a “customer,”) … you can let go of your need to solve problems for a bit.
