“Design is about understanding humans and things and how they interact.”

That works for me.

So while y’all are arguing about what UX is on Design Twitter and if UX designers should code, some of us are just out there doing this job. This level of navel gazing is beyond me sometimes.

.@udanium's "Rise of the Meta-Designer" is the most important thing I've read about design for quite a while. https://t.co/Gq9GUmSPWU If we don't want design reduced to mechanistic delivery, we need to widen the aperture with a holistic and systems-oriented practice.

Having been in the industry for 20+ years, the biggest change I’ve seen is that design teams are now more over-extended across more products & required to move faster in favor delivery of mediocre work at the expense of even basic quality. This does not produce great products.

"The Mac is designed to appeal...nonprogrammers, including people who have previously feared or distrusted computers. The user should feel in control... This is achieved in apps that embody 3 qualities: responsivenes, permissiveness, & consistency"

There were some clear themes coming out of the presentations at #productized in Lisbon yesterday about #prodmgmt and #design and #culture. Here is a brief summary of what I heard:

One of the white sharks we just tagged during #NovaScotiaExpedition, @GWSharkCabot, is exploring the waters off the coast of Portland, Maine. He’s 9’ 8” long and one of 4 males we tagged during the expedition.

[Eric Reiss @elreiss]

When most companies hire "designers," it is to execute a previous decision, not to change it. Most businesses don't want designers to think. Perhaps this is why so many UX teams are prohibited from speaking with actual users.

I cherish taking leisurely strolls with my wife Jean at twilight. My steps are getting slower and increasingly I have another journey on my mind—the one into eternity. But the joy—the sheer, unadulterated joy—of a hand-in-hand , slow walk as evening shadows fall never ceases.
