That’s a problem, I agree. I feel privileged then, because I actually get to research, and interview, and split test. It was a long battle, I’ve been trying to build that culture for a good 5+ years. Once the features started flopping, I started by doing 2 prototypes - one, based on the PRD from the product team and another, based on my personal research. I had to work 12, sometimes 15 hours a day, but when, instead of showing problems, I was showing solutions, without the “i-told-you-so”s, and when I made it clear that I care about the product’s health alone, that’s when I became the mirror. I reckon it’s not an industry term, but it’s what I like to call it - product presents their idea, you reflect it, and more often than not they do not like what they see. That’s when the real work starts.

If you say it that way, then yes, even the nicest person will call you a cunt and fire you. If you ask questions, as a user, and showing patterns that support your thesis, this becomes a conversation, rather than a “do it that way”.
edit: People are not all knowing. Once you start asking the right questions, you’ll see that - “Ok, and what happens when the user presses this? And what happens if they delete that?” It’s obviously a very abstract example, but if their ideas can’t stand a single user test, then they shouldn’t be surprised if the feature flops.
As long as you treat yourself as a pixel pusher, this is a side effect. When you understand that you are a mirror for ideas, you will empower yourself.
Developers don’t decide that. Blame UX folk for making things simple.
nymea.io was one of the few who were full private, but I think they got bought out or something
CHEV FUCKING CHELIOS
I was obsessed. Had the Nokia 8800 (he had sirrocco, but I was poor af). Had the same ring tone. What a movie
i’m a 4 on a good day. Only dated once, she broke up with me, so I kinda accepted that I’m just not meant to have a partner.
1 year later I met a nice lady at a birthday party I wasn’t exactly invited to, we talked, yaddayadda, 12 years later we are still together.
Depends on the easter egg though, no? Look up FF:06:B5 and see how deep is that for you.
Tell me you haven’t dug deep into Cyberpunk 2077 without telling me you haven’t dug deep into Cyberpunk 2077.
My dude, the easter eggs have easter eggs.
They are doing the Nike mistake - they are targeting users that have already purchased a Mac. Data-driven decisions are great, but this would just result in alienating people who are not already customers, or chase people out who are unhappy with this decision, so their next purchase will not be a Mac.
1/3 gang represent. Passed midlife, still clean. I didn’t find my penis in the trash bin.
