UX Designer. I like to give a beating heart to the thinking process. Humans fascinate me; music moves me; art illustrates me; Taurus explains me.

@jmspool @Graffotti I hopped around between specializations till I merged them into what I consider my calling in UX. Designer to developer to the questioner-thinker-challenge-everything-markerboard-junkie UX practitioner. I'm a fan of "generalist" because it fills the gaps well in almost any team.

@jonbsails @ScottAmachen1 @PatriotDancing I’ve not read Art of War yet, but this is the second or third reference to it since the pandemic started. I take that as a nudge. As a new Q, I definitely need to study the tags and build more discernment on what’s anon-consumable and what’s redirection.

[Rina Henderson @rinaTaur]

@Jim_Jordan I've been watching CSpan the last couple of days. I am certainly impressed by your boldness, among a couple of others. Thank you for representing the sentiment of every day patriots. We are fed up, and I still have hope after watching your passion on the committee.

[Rina Henderson @rinaTaur]

@RepGregSteube Loved your question about the America's Frontline Doctors being censored. Spot on, much appreciated that your question echoes the voices of patriots in this country (including myself). Keep that boldness - it's awesome and much needed right now.

@prageru @DennisPrager @RealCandaceO I have a 2 yr graphic design deg. - I knew what I wanted to do. How many miles have I gotten on that tiny degree!? It's proof you can survive well, love your job, be paid well! Without paying thousands for 4 yr liberal indoctrination deg. Focus on vocation and career programs!

@Tesla_Fan_93 @nehdah @MonangeSauvi Try https://t.co/vOgyQPEC8h / waybackmachine. I found it, search for the twitter link.

@MatttttttG @RealJamesWoods What on earth is wrong with these humans? Why why why?

[Rina Henderson @rinaTaur]

Mr. President @realDonaldTrump We (citizens) need easier to follow details about bills being passed. Would like you to leverage user experience (UX) professionals to help make the human experience (HX) better through clarity of information. Give me a shout when you're ready! #UX

@figmadesign I love Figma. I want to keep loving Figma. Hoping everyone hangs in there. Designers were born to take risks; livelihood tied to a tool has always been one of them. :) Any redundancy and auto back plan slated for the Figma? Would be a good idea at this point. 💜

@rondouglas Hey Ron, listening to the video in your latest email (Fastest Path...). I have some questions for you if you don't mind connecting. Thanks!

@jmspool @yannschaub @erikburns It's not the small size of the group that's being debated; it's the claim of 5 - 8 that's the problem, since hungry practioners are looking for "fact nuggets" to cling onto in order to be relevant and right. Jared's point is stop clinging to / spreading the factual-sounding claim

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

@erikburns How do you know how many problems you haven’t found?

[Rina Henderson @rinaTaur]

I LOVE Jared's frankness. We need more of that in the world, but especially in communicating and designing clarity.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

@jonmaimon @jmarshallBKLYN @round @trib There is no number.

To state any number, because you believe that “people like numbers” would be lying to those people.

Are you ok with lying to people, just to get them to do something you believe is right?

I don’t.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

Basically, the piece goes into why the 5 to 8 user myth is holding teams back.

Usability testing is reactive. Devs code something and we test it. Iterate. We’re always reacting to their bad design.

We need to be proactive and push beyond that. That’s what I wrote about.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

It's quite feasible to test 1 participant in a single iteration, then make changes based on what you saw. If you got it wrong, no worries, you'll undo it in a future iteration.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

None of this is true any more. User research is extremely inexpensive (except in rare cases, like studies on mid-ocean oil rigs). Software changes are cheap and testable prototypes are cheaper.

Optimizing the number of users per round of iteration is less of a worry.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

If you have 10,000,000 users in the world and you fix a problem that only helps 80% of them, that's 2,000,000 users you're not solving for. The 80/20 rule hurts millions of people.

The 5-8 user myth doesn't help us with this at all.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

There's no way 5 to 8 participants will uncover anything meaningful. You'll barely touch the surface. And the study is likely extremely biased, with a very homogeneous participant pool to draw from. (How many folks with varying disabilities are represented here?)
