I don't even know if I am looking at Twitter or Bluesky anymore. Which... might be a good thing/sign?

Coming back here after seeing this tweet by @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com. I'm also getting sick of X's algo which feels like Tiktok/YouTube…

I'm very happy to finally share my talk from Digital Dragons 2024! youtu.be/La8l7U5e1OQ It's called "10 Years in UI/UX: Lessons, Insights and Mistakes" and it's a continuation of a series, covering my decade+ in the gaming industry and what kind of philosophy was formed during this time. https://youtu.be/La8l7U5e1OQ

I’m really enjoying the vibe here on BlueSky! It feels like a true community again 🤩 — I’ve missed this over the past few years with Twitter.

👋 hey!

What's really scary is Cybersecurity Awareness Month ends today and I feel like a lot of you only became partially Aware Of Cybersecurity.

I read that as Weird AL and I was like "don't you drag my king into this"

This is one of those things where rather than memorize a bunch of rules, I think it’s much easier to use our intuition. We should ask ourselves this question: > If this image failed to load, what would I NEED to know in order to understand this content / engage with this application?

It's really nice to see new faces on this app. Lots of people to hang out with and converse with. It feels fresh! 🦋👋🏻

Bsky intro time: I’m a mostly-self-taught dev. For years, I worked as a senior engineer in the startup world. Now, I’m building my own startup applying LLMs to a “boring” space broken by compliance and organizational knowledge loss. I love food, shitposting, and tattoos.

UX fact #18: All enterprise software competes with Excel. All productivity software competes with emailing things to yourself.

Firm belief that one of the highest ROI hills to die on is insisting it be as easy as possible to run your product locally. If you succeed in keeping it to a build command followed by a run command and nothing else, you’ll be delivering 4-5 figures of value per engineer per year.

Yo where are the metal fans on bsky and can you all be my friends, pls share.

Wow, I guess tech twitter has migrated in my absence. Hi everyone!

Hahahaha, as a designer who codes, you lost me with this one. I’m not in a place to say how all designers should work, but for me and my design team, being close to the code is vital. Code is the raw material of the things product designers are designing. An architect should know about concrete.

For every like I will post 1 UX fact (I'm not doing a meme image for this, UX fact #0 is that content is more important than visuals)
