Medium is awash with "Letters to Junior Designers." Seems like folks need to ease up on the "letters" & start sending "jobs" Just saying.

Designing w/o understanding user's needs is walking in the dark. Doing it rapidly w/ protoyping&testing is running in the dark w/ scissors.

A mature designer will look at the worst interface in the world and rather than criticize ask, "I wonder why they did that?"

Or could it be flipped around that taking advantage of a poor design can make one's application stand out? 🤔

No, no, no! These are not brilliantly designed. They are terrible for the most part. Sure they are pretty, but not helpful! nitter.gq/netmag/status/86745140… – at Blandford Forum, England

Unavoidable tradeoffs may be inevitable. Ethics isn't about pure good. It should be about greater good. #uxchat

I'd say ethics matter as early as brainstorming and coming up with an idea and functionality for the product! #uxchat

You are not only one. More importantly than any nitpicky excuses, if leaders don't include a11y BY DEFAULT what message does that send?
