A lot of people think UX design is about features. It's not. The best UX comes from finding the gaps between the features, and then filling those gaps with delicious sticky marmalade so that your users can't escape

Being decisive and detail-oriented keeps teams safe. Until it starts making people hesitate to share ideas with you. It’s not that you’re “too much.” It’s that your sharpness shows up before your curiosity does. If you want more influence, lead with openness before accuracy.

Trains out of London are messed up. Hot as hell, crowded, very delayed, rerouted or cancelled. And here on a random, half way platform where I have to wait 40 minutes they’ve shut the shop, so noone can buy a cold - or tepid - drink. What next - locusts? Zombies? As Frasier would say: “Dear God.”
