#UXDesign is in disarray. The idea of design-for-use has been replaced with design-for-sales, and its incentives (make more features so that you have more shit to sell) don't align with user-centered work and #UserResearch.

In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.

At the root of design's crisis is an incentives crisis throughout tech. But we have tools that let us cut through the magical thinking of feature factories - if we're willing to use them.

I started 2025 unemployed and have been looking for work since Jan 1. Figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here might know of something.

🌐 I am a UX/UI designer with a passion for crafting easy-to-use interfaces and user-centered digital experiences that help people work better. Committed to delivering impactful visuals that align with brand guidelines and drive business goals.
🧭 Open to in-person/hybrid roles in the #Seattle metro area, or to remote roles in the US. W2 only.
⭐ I value work/life balance, cross-functional collaboration (I play well with engineers!), and projects that drive meaningful and positive impact.

This week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.

Elinor Ostrom's understanding of the social system that manages a common resource is critical for making trade-offs in our own work, which can build - rather than burn - trust.

You'll never be able to make effective trade-offs without thinking holistically about the entire system, and the other people within it

Hello Mastodon. I have a problem. The course I’m studying which is information design and front end development has a semester beginning in end of march that involves a work placement for a month. I’m looking to find somewhere to do my practical. Is anyone in the #uxdesign #ux #informationdesign spheres could help a girl out? It’s four weeks, full time, doesn’t need to be a project, can just be busy body work.

Mastodon! Save me!

UI designers: please please please please please please please please please please please please give us a way to enter a number exactly instead of only a slider that can't be precise.

I know a difference of one seems unimportant to you, but I literally have to hold my breath unable to even breath right until I get it right. I know I'm not the only one out there. I don't want a value that is "close enough."

Just make the value text a box instead of a label.

This might be an #ActuallyAutistic thing, I don't know. Regardless, it's super simple to just make it a box I can manually edit.

This is even worse on mobile where taking your finger off the screen can move the bar.

And I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels this way.

It seems likely that these standardized interfaces will start with specific use cases and then generalize to industries before something more potentially universal.

We’ll need standard data models, API descriptions, decentralized authorization strategies and more.

I understand the demonstrative value of the knob-turning dexterity, but I question whether that makes any sense beyond the early days of adoption. Robots and humans will both need to interact with the same affordances, but as we head down this path, I’d wager we’ll see more standardized interfaces a la R2-D2 interacting with ships, doors, computers, etc.
