I fucking hate @dicefm. Worst usability ever. Hard to believe it was designed by an actual agency.
I'm working with a founder who is looking for a tool which allows him to collaborate on LLM prompts with his engineering team, optimise on the live product and see/track the results. Anybody got any recommendations?
I've started to see a trend of people sending their AI summarization tools to online talks, webinars and Q&As rather than coming in person.
I've had issues for the last 18 months to 2 years.
Also true for design
I generally have very little interest in actors, but I actually quite enjoyed this thread.

Quick question. Do you believe that "Design is more involved with decision making than ever before?"
Agreed. Design systems restrict variance and creativity is a form of positive variance.

VC Associates are like A&R people. It's their job to scout investment opportunities. Sure, If you golf with the record label founder or have a platinum selling album, you don't need to speak to them. But for most founders it's the best and only way in.

Yes we don’t want people calling who we don’t want to talk to.
Also true for design
To be a good writer, you have to be annoyed by bad writing. You're unlikely to get your first drafts exactly right, and unless you're annoyed by what you got wrong, you won't fix it.
Good design makes people feel empowered, understood, happy, smart, included. Bad design makes people feel irritated, guilty, insecure, anxious, helpless, dumb. That’s why good design is important.
@andybudd They also dragged some of their decision making into their new role and brought with them some design decision making, that used to reside with UX. This is some what adding to the developing the divide between UX and Prod Mgmt.
@andybudd Building on top of those process changes, I think the proportion of PMs coming from a design background is much larger now than 10 years ago - maybe to dodge some of the restraints scaled “agile” has imposed on decision taking.
@andybudd It was a good talk! I remember really enjoying your slides.
On the way to Valencia to do a design sprint with the @dhis_2 mobile team. I'm always pleasantly surprised how useful the Sprint book is for running a sprint in the real world. Good checklists and examples are so helpful. Nice work @jakek @jazer @kowitz @mmargolis 👏
