@WritersofColor Please do not believe that companies who "publish" their pay scales are in any way transparent. There are many ways to dissemble.

One little word does so much work here. Icons are indecipherable to me. I need the word "On" to understand that the Focus feature is active.

One fundamental mistake software design teams make is behaving like they are the main character in their user's life story, and not the other way around.

Design as if your user
-didn't want to use your product or develop expertise
-hasn't thought about your product for months

OK @Meetup! Please give me the agency to say no. The [X] simply isn’t visible on a typical iPhone although it’s visible in this screen shot. Test much?

This week we released Polaris v10.

This is the 7th major Polaris release in my time at @Shopify and my favorite. It's the most data-driven and really demonstrates the impact of design systems at scale.

🧵Some highlights...

@ChelseaLarsson Mine is tomorrow. Can’t wait for part of my body to be violently transformed into a pancake.

Love to see opportunities for content design / UX writing open up across the world. @ahiteva you are an amazing advocate. I can't help but think of our dear @andreadrugay and how proud she would be. Thank you for making space. 🌿 #uxwriting #contentdesign @ContentDesignES

This is a joke, but, truth be told, we are exposed to much more serious UX manipulation every day - things that aren’t this obvious.

Do you want to see the worst f-ing dark-pattern UX you've ever seen in your life? This is the screen you get when you try and cancel your subscription to LemList

If you can't read the text, it says "Pick who will take a pay cut" with gifs of the employees

Great thread, @scottkubie! UX writing is so much more than mechanics and words. I’ve always loved the approach that @TheUXCC takes to training, and I’ve given higher consideration to their students.
