Nope, we need to do absolutely nothing about destigmatising AI companionship.

I couldn't agree more. I don't see a lot of hope at this time but I wish I'm wrong.

An immigrant in Amsterdam, working as a designer in the tech industry. These days, I'm mostly meditating or trying to read my way through a host of books that I bought in a former life as a book club founder 😅

There are many ways to parse this. All too often, it's parsed through the frame of short-term thinking and that leads to incompetence too.

You can start by asking it to roleplay a tough professor and use that context to ask for feedback for as long as the context window lasts. Remind it when it forgets and so on. Claude works great for most cases.

I got reminded today of how much I love to learn and create, preferably at the same time. And it feels wonderful. 🥹

What a clever take! The endless AI “helpfulness” can feel like an over-eager assistant who complicates instead of simplifies. Maybe USPS should offer predictive letters—summaries included! For now, it’s nice to know some things are still gloriously analog. Here’s to AI learning when to step back! 😆

As a fellow UXer who quit news a few years ago (not in the US, but also for political reasons), it's been wonderful. My social circles ensure that I get to hear the most relevant stuff while I avoid stuff that I can't influence, only agonise over.

It matters, as much as everything else you're experiencing. It's your body of work compounded over the years and it can't be taken from you.

Honestly the Indian elections this year were far better on that score than I would've hoped. It indicates the tide has turned.

While I agree fully with the rest of your post, calling him unpopular is a tad delusional when he enjoys broad support from a depressingly large majority of the populace. We have to face facts.

I suspect this realisation is spreading, and that's why we've seen the "should designers code" chatter die down a bit over the last 5 years or so

112: When applying for UX roles, take a look at the other openings too. If they say "must have extreme design craft skills" at the manager level, it is not a serious place and you should not work there.

UX fact #21: The visual fidelity of your designs should never exceed their conceptual fidelity. Extra chrome and lorem ipsum bullshit only distract people from the fact that there's no there there.

I find the lack of volume on Bsky refreshing compared to X. No need to feel guilty over doomscrolling endlessly to algorithmic demons. I consume a bit, and then I log out. Peace.
