Lots of good snippets in this thread. All classic points, and worth reiterating to ensure that less experienced (and more sheltered) designers understand the duality of good UI design.

Nearly scrolled past a "UX is Dead" post on LinkedIn, trying not to take what looked like clickbait, but the second line – "UX is evolving" – caught my eye, as I thoroughly agree. Full thoughts here: documenteering.com/2025/03/12/t...

Realised it's just two months to Interesting conference. Very much looking forward to it. Wonderfully inspiring yet deeply unassuming. If you're unsure what it is – but you're curious – then it's 100% for you. russelldavies.typepad.com/planning/202...

When the titles start in every episode of Severance it reminds me of this tune. I can’t find anyone else making the connection. Just me? youtu.be/hTVJF5ORuLQ?...

@iainbroome.com Saw this one and thought of the struggle to explain what content designers do, and why content first thinking can kinda be useful at times. A good example/explainer to share with doubters. Clever old @designthinking.lol designthinkingcomic.substack.com/p/lorem-ipsu...

Searching for a particular flowchart meme just now stumbled on this instead. Cool to see these adventure books mapped like this. I always imagined authors would effectively write them this way. Hit me also how navigating big projects always feels like a CYOA www.atlasobscura.com/articles/cyo...

“A unique blend of evolutionary psychology and strategic leadership insights.” Found via @ewebber.bsky.social so instantly took the recommendation and downloaded it. Oh my days, vvv good. It’s correlating with so many experiences, thoughts and beliefs! All in a 'good confirmation bias' way, I think

I keep coming back to the idea of 'boring magic'. It's known well in some circles, but I think it's worth more than being an in-joke that we nod in humorous agreement to. visitmy.website/2020/01/08/b...

I've used thriva.com since 2017 and their testing box still delights me every time! Such a fun mechanism. The instructions could easily fit inside a regular box... so it's fairly pointless if you think about it practically... but in this case, sod practicality, we need more delight.

Do Audiobooks Count As Reading? @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social says a wonderfully convincing yes! And I couldn't agree more. My excited thoughts on it: documenteering.com/2025/02/04/d... Or just watch John's indirectly dyslexic affirming video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=80SC...

Things I found interesting / 11 Jan – 4 Feb 2025. Gaps are getting longer between these as I struggle to document all that I find interesting. The curse of curiosity? Or just dopamine addiction 🤷‍♂️ documenteering.com/2025/02/04/t...

I wonder if a similar phenomenon occurs when a project team passes through their final deck presentation. “People tend to forget items of recent significance immediately after crossing a boundary, and often forget what they were thinking about or planning on doing.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway...

100% echoing @iainbroome.com’s hearty recommendation of this. Predominantly a content design lens on trauma and dyscalculia, but the conversation creates a brilliantly layered argument for more active empathy in all areas of design.

“Every person deserves an environment where their unique needs and strengths are accommodated...” A great explainer for leaders/HR teams. Empathetically, I wonder if there’s a form of neurodiversity in people that struggle to see the benefit of advice like this? ndconnection.co.uk/blog/recruit...

One of the most thoughtful, and so in turn, one of the best blogging platforms I've ever seen. Last day and a half to catch this offer. Still more than worth it if you miss it though. Do it. Start that blog / website you keep putting off. It doesn't get easier or safer or nicer than this.

Maybe the Paperclip Maximizer Theory is happening, but with Nvidia GPUs. An AI, programmed with the objective of producing as many as possible, has manipulated billionaires and destabilised the world in order to create a craze for more processing power. I bet it's annoyed with DeepSeek if so.

I wrote this a few days before hearing about Vicky’s death. My admiration and love of her work remains. She was clearly a widely loved and respecting individual. See more of her influence here: bsky.app/profile/priy...
