Can you really chat your way to reliable software? Daniel De Laney says no. AI coding tools need more structure—chat UIs lack the precision. Dev work needs clear docs, not scattered logs. danieldelaney.net/chat #AI #DevTools #Programming #UXDX

Chat is a bad UI pattern for development tools—Daniel De Laney

The Engagement Dilemma: How to keep users hooked without causing fatigue
Balancing deep engagement with healthy consumption experience In the digital age, engagement is the holy grail of user experience. As social media platforms, we are  constantly seeking ways to captivate our audience, to keep them hooked on our content, and to make them come back for more. But as we strive for deeper engagement, we risk crossing a fine line into fatigue. Think about it: how many times have you found yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media, only to realize hours have

Effective coaching adapts. HBR outlines 4 styles: Telling, Hands-off, Asking/Listening, and Guiding. Know when to push or pull—based on your coachee and the context. hbr.org/2025/03/4-styles-of-coachin… #Coaching #Leadership #UXDX

4 Styles of Coaching—and When to Use Them
People often believe they’re coaching when they’re actually just giving instructions. So what is coaching and how do you get better at it? Effective coaching involves knowing when to ask questions and guide your employee and when to step back and let them own the decision-making. To help managers navigate their coaching journey, the author created the Coaching Styles framework—based on “push” and “pull” concepts from sports—that helps managers choose a coaching style that works for them and the situation. The framework helps leaders understand the importance of adapting different coaching styles to varying situations and fostering employees’ self-sufficiency. Mastering coaching requires practice and discernment, but it ultimately empowers both leaders and their teams to grow.

Speed alone breaks things. Speed with trust fixes them. @francesfrei.bsky.social & @annemorriss.bsky.social show how leaders can move fast without leaving their teams behind—by building alignment, clarity, and safety. hbr.org/2025/03/leaders-can-move-fa…
hbr.org
Leaders Can Move Fast and Fix Things
The assumption embedded in Silicon Valley’s famous “move fast and break things” ethos is that we can either make progress or take care of people, one or the other. A certain amount of wreckage is the price we have to pay for creating the future. The authors have spent the last decade helping business leaders clean up that wreckage, and one of their main lessons is that this tradeoff is false. The most successful change leaders solve problems at an accelerated pace while also taking responsibility for the success and wellbeing of their customers, shareholders, and employees: They move fast and fix things. Leaders who tackle big problems don’t need to slow down, they need to take a breath and take a few mission-critical steps before sprinting, including: 1) Make sure you’re solving the right problems; 2) Build more trust as you go; 3) Involve people you don’t know—and who know more than you do; and 4) Tell a better story.
