j’ai fini de lire « Malleable software - Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps » qui est vraiment très inspirant.

Notamment la place des 'applis' dans notre vie et l’aspect gadget de celle-ci, à savoir fait un truc, plus ou moins bien et n’est pas utilisable en dehors de ça.

www.inkandswitch.comMalleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down appsThe original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can reshape with minimal friction to suit their unique needs.

Today is the day before I write my weekly newsletter, so of course Brave chooses today to roll out an update that obliterates all of my open tabs by combining "redundant" "inactive" ones. And then automatically opts every user into this feature.

I had a few Mastodon tabs open, now they are just one tab that points to mastodon.social.

So, uhh...anyone write anything good on #Product / #UX topics that they want me to feature this week? 😅

Managers were starting to understand that velocity on its own has no value. But then along came #AI and said "but what if we made that velocity 10x?" and they fell for it all over again - because they only have a surface level understanding of the work.

The logic of the feature factory has permitted #genAI tools to take root despite their intolerable error rate, because those orgs *never* had a definition of success beyond "we shipped the thing". #UX #UXDesign #product

When outputs are valued above all else, hallucinations and slop aren't bugs — they're features.

Techies are always chasing the mythical tool that will let them "focus on the work" and avoid tedious distractions like "talking to people." AI tools are only the latest to promise this impossible dream.

But talking to people IS the work. You can complain about it on the internet, or take responsibility and make your life a lot easier.

LLMs are not the first tool to promise that they can free us from having to talk to people so we can "focus on the work." But talking to people IS the work.

Brilliant research shouldn’t be lost in a maze of confusing websites.

The Stanford Humanities Center asked us to simplify their sprawling digital presence. We built a modern, user-friendly platform where scholars and visitors can easily access and engage with arts resources and events. A digital space where knowledge is actively shared and explored.

Bekommt ihr auch immer mal wieder Aufgabenbriefings, wo die Lösung schon festgeschrieben war?

Wie hoch war eure Erfolgsquote diese Lösung zu hinterfragen?

Mir helfen "User Journeys" oder Szenarien von Personen oder Personas, die ich vorbereitet, um die erwartete Lösung nochmals kritisch zu betrachten und auch meine Kritik gut transportieren zu können.

Was hilft euch?

L'autre jour, entretien d'embauche dans une grosse boîte pour un poste de designer, et dans la cour intérieure je vois ça. Je me demande qui a imaginé cette stèle, et pourquoi enfreindre a ce point une règle de base d'ergonomie pour la lisibilité. Si vous avez une théorie, je suis curieuse !
(Après je me suis perdue dans le parking pour trouver la sortie mal indiquée, je crois que je pourrais avoir des conseils à donner bien au-delà de l'ux des logiciels 😅)

Tech companies think that, if they make products *look* futuristic, you will think that they are actually innovating. In reality what we get is not "Star Trek communicators inspired cell phones" but "every experience with your computer is going to be like begging HAL to open the pod bay doors" except less evil and more frustrating.

Tech companies are only pretending to innovate, through copying futuristic aesthetics from science fiction without understanding their purpose.

It was unavoidable that this week I'd end up writing about Apple's latest blunder. But in the context of Figma's Sites bullshit and Shopify recasting designers as "artists" it's even worse than one OS making a stupid decision.

The mission of #UXdesign is being changed: orienting away from making useful products that work for everyone, and towards branding.

Industry leaders like Apple and Shopify are redefining design excellence from making products usable to solely luxury branding.

Well, probably not quite killed. I've been on the side of "you can only design products and services, but not user experience, since that's emergent". One company changing a few job titles will not change the fact that we need people to care about making the right things right.

"These meetings are distracting me from the work."

The meetings are the work. Sorry.

The fact that your org doesn't value meetings and doesn't put any effort into making them more effective is a symptom of a broader pattern of ignoring feminized "glue work" in favor of Big Masculine Outputs.

Making the work visible is the first step towards making it valued.

The Product PicnicThe glue is the workTech orgs only function thanks to people who volunteer for thankless "glue work." This is the space where UX lives; for the field to get respect we need to make this work visible.
