Improving people’s lives with #UX

In Google Slides I wanted a basic 2x2 matrix to make my point. "Gemini should be able to something as basic as this right?" Here is my prompt:

"Create a slide with a 2x2 matrix with Level of VC funding on one axis and Level of Social Media on the other"

This is anti-productivity. Not only can I never get this time back. It was so shockingly not helpful that I felt compelled to tell you about it.

Dear #OpenSource folks, I'd like to offer #UX help to your teams. I've tried "making a small PR" on projects and it turns out that's TERRIBLE advice for a UX designer. The PR is usually misunderstood or ignored. I don't fault the teams for this! It's just the wrong tool for the job.

So I'm trying something different. I'm offering free consulting time to any project that wants it. Sign up here: https://cal.com/scottjenson/exchange

It’s easy to think that if you have a great product people will buy it. But perception is more important than reality. Present your product in the wrong way and people won’t trust you will deliver.

Beautiful demonstrated by this video. https://youtu.be/TaUlBYqGuiE?si=jL8Tu22rf8lz9LAG

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

It's time for the job hunt again. If anyone has NY-based or remote #UX or #ProductManagement roles at the Lead/Manager/Director level, please sent them my way!

And if not - I'd still appreciate the signal boost.

I am so tired of Tech Solutionism that sees every social issue as something to be fixed with software. I support Timnit's plea here. People claiming keyword filters or blocking is all you need to fix this issue is worse than naive, it's dangerous as it places the burden on the person being attacked. As a privileged old white man, I face none of this. But I can at least support those being attacked and call out this bankrupt and lazy ass thinking.

Y'all are incredibly comfortable being racist on here in a way I haven't seen elsewhere, while lecturing us about how if we tweak this one thing the racism disappears. I'm spending my time combing through those calling @KimCrayton1 the N word & those who reported her to us for essentially making white people feel bad. The best is the one who reported this post by her: "Good ol’ Mastodon I’ve NEVER been called NIGGER more than I have TODAY" Find Black women talking about racism offensive huh?
