Each time I hear something dumb about X/Twitter leadership I take an effort to trim following and find alternatives to follow them.
Feels corny, but the X might be what gets me the rest of the way out.
There’s a few people I can’t find anywhere else I’ll miss…

I’m no longer convinced that we should be prioritizing velocity over quality. It seems to me that baseline human behavior (esp our rewards architecture) simply cannot resist the urge to do mediocre work “on time”—and never iterate. It simply doesn’t work.

Having spent a couple of years as in-house UX now, it’s strongly seems that case studies address very little of what actually matters to researchers’ success, and the traditional interview panel misses out much of the infrastructure-laying and strategic thinking that makes impact

This is such important advice (especially for growth / product teams) that I almost don’t want to spread it any wider. – at San Francisco, CA

You know what’s funny about the “teaching history makes white kids feel bad” argument?
It assumes white children should only identify with the slaveholders of history & not the white abolitionists
Reveals a lot about those arguing it 💀

I think this is generally true. Here's the catch for local governments....
Do cars first and accommodate pedestrians second, you'll go broke. Walkability as a side fetish is mostly a financial loser.
Put people first, then accommodate cars, you'll be super wealthy.

At MIT we built an entire course around the fact that billionaires + companies dont innovate, normal people do
We innovate to solve problems we or our communities face, then companies either form around, buy, or steal those innovations and sell them for profit

users! you never ever know what they’re gonna do.
customer support is one of the absolute best places to do research but companies treat it like a dead rat, held at a distance by two unwilling fingers to be disposed of quickly as possible
ALT Post from Effin Birds: I was astonished to meet more than ten people who believed the Trash on a Mac was a perfectly normal place to store important files and had entire filing systems in there. (I met them generally because they were mad that they had accidentally emptied the trash and that the trash was not backed up.)

once again discovering that a few minutes of thinking through a problem on paper was more effective than vaguely ruminating about it in my mind for weeks
