Low-maturity #tech orgs fetishize ideas.
Their process goes like this: a senior stakeholder has an idea, then the engineers build it. Only then can the team go and "validate" it.
The main outcome of this process is ANXIETY, because people know they are making a huge bet, but the risks aren't being acknowledged.

Particle Physicists Detect ‘Magic’ at the Large Hadron Collider
In search of quantum advantage — the ability of a quantum computer to outperform classical computers on certain tasks — physicists began to look for entangled states that differed as much as possible from stabilizer states. These states earned the name magic states.

When a user doesn't understand your product, they can't use it. But when the team doesn't understand their own product, then NO ONE can.
We neglected the conceptual layer of software development, and products have devolved from a coherent experience into Proper Noun soup. To unwind this self-inflicted problem, we must stop "optimizing" for just one part of the job.
Here's how.
(this is a much deeper problem than "just UX vs UI")

When teams don't understand their own product
A usable product starts with the conceptual model, but designers have "optimized" that work out of the profession. It's time to bring it back.Pavel Samsonov (The Product Picnic)

I believe Europeans need to worry more about Chat Control / ProtectEU.

Designers are always inventing new titles. Web designer, UI designer, UX designer, UX/UI designer, Product designer, UX/AI designer (???)
These are all the same!
As long as your work is mediated entirely by Figma and Jira, you are just a production artist.
Fighting with PMs over who "gets" to do strategy (usually: neither of you) won't help you. Lean into the core #design skills of architecture and maintenance. #UX #servicedesign #contentdesign #uxdesign #tech
