No one wants to build bad products. But in an industry where programmers implement features to order, it can be hard to shake that feeling.
This is how orgs see the ROI of UX: as a soothing function to tell everyone they're doing a good job. And as a scapegoat, when we finally learn otherwise.
UX cheerleading is doing the industry no favors.

Hey, #UX #UI people: if I have cascading list boxes i.e. where the values for box 2 depend on what is chosen for box 1 - and for some values of box1 there is ONLY one value for box2.. is there some design principle that would suggest defaulting to a null value for box2 is preferable to preselecting the ONLY value available?

When you say "we don't need user research, I already know what users want" this is what you look like

Equations float above the head of a bald man in sunglasses tapping his head with a smirk on his face. 

Why am I laughing? Apologies, my friend. It's just that as an INTJ, these illogical actions of yours...well, I find them to be amusing.

What's that? A free sample of your store's new crispened potato snacks? Not necessary. I've already calculated its flavor in my head. Mmm...perhaps a little more Sodium Chloride next time...

Wow, Apple's issues with one of their most important core values (#UX, #UI design) does seem to be worse than I'd have expected.
More and more complaints do pop up in my bubble.

Most meetings are bad, and most attempts to fix it merely reduce the *amount* of meetings, rather than do anything to improve their usefulness.
This is an opportunity for #UX designers aspiring to "do strategy." But hi-fi artifacts won't help you here; their purpose is to document decisions that have already been made.
Lo-fi artifacts only appear skippable when seen alone; i…

There's a thought leader (derogatory) who is the main character of linkedin today for claiming, and I quote, "Most designers won't make it past 35."
This guy's whole thesis is premised on one "insight": that orgs have more junior employees and fewer senior employees

#UX is like a jester.
The real role of the jester is to point out when the king is doing something stupid.
But tech execs thought that the jester's role was just to bring the bells and whistles. They created an environment of "polite failure," ignored the warnings, bolted #AI onto ev…
