Hey it’s me 👋

Tech companies couldn’t be saying any clearer “we don’t care about you”

It was trash.

Any of the ones in Costco will do. There is a street corn dip that I’m going to try later today with them.

Do you dips with these or just the chips?

Maybe digital designers should just design other things besides software.

I suspect that in many places trust is not a business requirement.

The platform should be HumblbraggIN

Ngl I just impulse bought these based on this ad. They clearly know my style profile is entirely 90s anime.

I haven’t accepted the new Apple Terms of service since November 2024. I just can’t.

This might be the embodiment of my retro chunky tech vision…this is a radio btw 👀😍😍😍

It still has humanity.

I think I’ll just focus on aesthetics. When I was a kid I envisioned living in a house or driving a car that looked like this
Chunky, highly tactile product design makes me enjoy just touching an object.
Modern devices, in many cases are designed in a way that discourages touch.

Ai will ultimately be used to simply process the data it creates for itself with very little human input. Algorithms trained on platforms that use to have lots of users feign relevance with bots created to keep their daily active user counts up.

The data vacuum is real.

i look at products designed in this era and I wonder how much research they did to get it here #retro #aesthetics #design #ux

AI is just simulated humanity with no emotion. It can “make” things buts really just mass copying human ingenuity without asking for permission. #ai #design #ux

I miss art. This reminded me that I need to start making again. #helmutlang

Incremental updates are usually not innovations. They are…updates 🙃

Wow. Never mention anything positive or negative about Apple in a post on LinkedIn. The people WILL NOT take it well. Design pros treat every Apple take like a personal attack or endorsement. Never thought I'd see so much passion about profit optimized updates & sales engineering 😅

Tech culture often over-complicates human social dynamics. As an extrovert in tech, I've noticed how many brilliant engineers and AI developers approach social interaction as if it's a complex system to be solved, when really, it's natural and fluid for many people.

In late stage social media, people rarely read past the first two lines….🙃

For me, the focus on so called “product discovery” recently says that the last decade of killing off UX hasn’t panned out. Having been a product leader, I think product discovery is a bandaid for good research. Also when people work in places w/no research org, their view of is research is limited.

You’re not wrong 😑

You’re not wrong. I post on there and get lots of comments from UXers but it’s mostly “don’t try too hard” and “don’t get comfortable” and “ai is gonna take your job, here’s 3 reason why” 😭 I’m a senior at this point but I think we are ruining the industry😳😬😬😬

That was so freaking bad. Like pure evil.

Didn’t adobe get sued for this as well? Diabolically difficult to cancel a subscription on that platform too.

Which map app is that?

I’m a Celtics fan though 😭

Omg what is this and where was it at????
