"In a world where anyone can make anything, the rarest skill will be knowing what's worth making." Louder for the people in the back, please.
For decades, technology was inching closer to being more personal, more intuitive, more human. 80s: point and click instead of cryptic commands 90s: the web remembered our preferences. 2000s: touchscreens let us touch our ideas. 2010s: devices predicted our needs... 🧵 1/7

Even the biggest companies with the deepest pockets are struggling to hire top design talent. And as usual, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what drives most great designers. They want to be surrounded by other great designers and a culture that cares.
It’s easier to raise a $5M seed round than hire a cracked designer full time

The founders of Instagram were not “team players,” some said at Facebook. But that's just what Facebook needed: people willing to challenge the groupthink that for too long included a stubborn resistance to admitting and addressing the company’s flaws. nyti.ms/2DCgT0H

Code clubs are great, but I worry we’re teaching young people that the only way into the industry is though development. As a result we need more design clubs to help redress the balance. Like this one designclub.io/

Very interesting comparison of language used by tech companies by @textio! "In large organizations, you don’t end up with thousands of people using the same words by accident. The patterns that show up across your company’s jobs show what you truly value" textio.ai/1000-different-peo…
