Midjourney got mail 📬 Literally thousands of post cards got sent to the 11 employees of Midjourney This is guerrilla tactics, and it might just work. The issue is that AI, in this case Midjourney is biased… 👇

Hey @Spotify -- bug on Android. Tried to remove a song from a collaborative playlist someone else had added only for it to be added again and duplicated.

Recently learnt cooking eggs whole in the air fryer is a thing. Tried soft and hard "boiled", and it works. Game-changer.

That feeling when you've improved designs and the results are better than expected. Uplifts of 9% and 20% in two experiments 🤘🏼

"Build it and they will come" doesn't work if your product isn't... - Different - Better - Cheaper ...than the way your audience currently completes their task.

This oft-cited picture is just wrong. We do not start with a skateboard and end up with a car. At no point did our customer request a skateboard or a bicycle. They'll reject that out of hand. 1/2

People who use voice notes on Slack – how do you use them? In DMs? Channels? To communicate what kinds of messages? I'm yet to find a use case for them

One of the unexpected highlights of user research interviews is talking to a participant that's authentically funny. It creates such wholesome energy for the entire product team watching.

Great tips here for user researchers too. You want your peers to care about what you spent your time researching. How you deliver content is critical to whether that happens.

This is one of the most common problems I see with surveys. It's why they're a more difficult tool to use well than you'd first think. Just like with good writing, good research puts itself in your users' shoes.

This visual was shared with me this week. Good reminder of why user experience design includes words. Content hierarchy matters because we process information in specific ways.

Big fan of how @GreigCranfield has been using @jfuccella's framework to bring alignment to a product team (across eng, design, product + research) and build the research roadmap.

@sambambo_ I love research and practice it often but as a designer it irks me that I’m expected to be as good as a FT researcher. If you need that scale and deep dive, hire a researcher and don’t scrimp on it
