After turning on both users and advertisers, tech companies only had one more place to go: employees. Individual productivity (AI-powered or otherwise) will not save you, because the issue is not performance.

In return, employees rightly stopped caring.

But unless you care, you can't do good design.

Fear is choking out thoughtfulness in tech, and it can't be replaced with "more productivity" — because productivity is not what motivates corporate layoffs.

Today is the day before I write my weekly newsletter, so of course Brave chooses today to roll out an update that obliterates all of my open tabs by combining "redundant" "inactive" ones. And then automatically opts every user into this feature.

I had a few Mastodon tabs open, now they are just one tab that points to mastodon.social.

So, uhh...anyone write anything good on #Product / #UX topics that they want me to feature this week? 😅

Techies are always chasing the mythical tool that will let them "focus on the work" and avoid tedious distractions like "talking to people." AI tools are only the latest to promise this impossible dream.

But talking to people IS the work. You can complain about it on the internet, or take responsibility and make your life a lot easier.

The Product PicnicCan Designers Avoid Meetings?LLMs are not the first tool to promise that they can free us from having to talk to people so we can "focus on the work." But talking to people IS the work.

Any recommendations on data oriented remote courses for #userresearch ?

- User behaviour analytics, effective use
- Excel pivot tables and charts
- Statistical methods to manage confidence

I have a math background and Excel formulas don't have many secrets for me. Already using analytics and doing first analysis in path explorations.

Thanks!

Every tech oligarch wants to build an Everything App - because they now have the power to do so, but also because they're completely out of ideas.

This week's issue of my newsletter tackles the rise of the "data-driven" Nothing Manager responsible for building Everything, with the "power" of #GenAI.

The Product PicnicThe Everything App is a symptom of Nothing Management (part 1)Leaders who surrender their point of view inevitably arrive at the same conclusion: we must solve every problem for every user. This approach demolishes the possibility of real impact.

"I have taste and you don't" is a great way to never get anybody to agree with you. So is "your solution is not the way I would have done it."

The only way to get off doing 12-hour shifts at the feature factory is to defy its logic.

The Product PicnicTaste is a dead end; what you should have is a point of viewBy justifying decisions on the basis of taste, designers are throwing away the influence they need for preventing low-value feature bloat

I'm looking for a new design role!

My work friends (I’d like to believe) would say I’m helpful and smart. That I care about the people using what I design. Plus, I’m good at troubleshooting tricky group dynamics. To summarize: I’m fun to work with!

If you know anyone looking for a senior/staff/principle product designer, tell them to check out my BRAND NEW website and send me a message.

Thanks a million ✊
