Disagree on the last statement but the "dice roll" is painfully accurate. 10 years ago that second die roll would have included words like "Ninja" and "Guru". We suck at job titles for some reason.
Roll 2d6 to find your design title 1: UX 2: Product 3: UI 4: Design Ops 5: Interaction 6: (roll twice and combine) 1: Designer 2: Analyst 3: Architect 4: Manager 5: Thought Leader 6: Consultant Regardless of what you rolled, your role will be to draw wireframes.
The headline says it all! Read our Inflection-investor @tysosin's post, to understand what characteristics make a "trifecta" business so appealing to investors, and what makes Indio a trifecta, and therefore an easy & obvious investment for Menlo. bit.ly/2JbFQkM #SaaS

Please RT if you are a man who has never been in a bar fight.
I don’t know one guy, including myself, who wasn’t in a bar fight. Not a single one.

We've hypothesized that when we tell Jack (age 8) to "have a good day", it sets him up for failure. To him, it isn't our hope for him but our expectation of him. And if he has a "bad" day, he doesn't feel comfortable sharing it because he thinks he's let us down.

But I'm finding myself unable to get out of the habit. I even caught myself mid-sentence the other day and said, clumsily, "Have a...day!" What the hell do I replace it with??
Too true.

So. Hi new people! Apparently, we're gonna talk about sex. Like physical sex! Because... there's some confusion. First, sex defined: We're talking physical sex here, not gender. Body parts, hormones, and genetics (and more). BLUF: BIOLOGICAL sex is a spectrum 1/

Unlike a floppy disk for "save", this one will live on because it's not just mimicking the form, it's copying the function. nitter.gq/themattcoady/status/98…
#EqualPay isn't looking so good in small and medium businesses. @Zenefits report is showing 66-cents on the dollar for women. Yikes! forbes.com/sites/tanyatarr/2… #NationalEqualPayDay

My wife laughed at me when a Silicon Valley character started using "radical @candor" in a really shitty way. I told her @kimballscott would have said the guy showed no caring and missed half the point of radical candor. She still laughed at me.

Wonderful visit from @jenntejada today at @Zenefits. My favorite quote: “Culture is defined by the lowest form of behavior we accept, not the highest.”

I had the pleasure of working with Robinson a couple years ago. He is an incredibly talented illustrator and amazingly good guy. Check out his project: kickstarter.com/projects/273…
It seems so weird to me that the tech industry has this attitude that people with decades of experience are useless

Good user experience is not a design problem. It’s a power struggle. BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO SOLVE THE DESIGN PROBLEM!
