old career advice for graduates: learn a hard skill, trade it w gatekeeper for entry-level production role new advice: that role is now automated—but *you have access to the same tools they do* so, fuck the gatekeepers, ask good questions, use the tools, run circles around them

being a consummate curator of *great people* is a superpower in many ways! following interesting people online; being good at cold outreach; deep dives to find pioneers in particular areas… particularly for early stage creators — very valuable skill to practice
The reason the universe seems fine-tuned for us is that evolution fine-tuned us for the universe.

I think all this leads to great pain and stress and frustration for those doing the work. So I try to tell the truth in as loud a voice as I can — and it's the number 1 reason I started the #UX 365 Academy. To help you all combat all of this, to the best of my ability. 4/4
Because there is a ridiculous amount of posturing and misinformation about all aspects of this profession, from every possible channel. Because we care deeply about what we do and we take the responsibility of truly helping users very seriously. 3/4
Because when you’re in college, or attending a bootcamp, no one talks about just how much power, leverage and political influence nearly every department *other than UX* in that company has. 2/4
Q: “Why do you think UXers seem so collectively frustrated as a profession?” A: Because there’s a pretty significant disconnect between how we’re taught the work should happen and how it actually happens once we land a job. 1/4

bull case: ZIRP is over and a new serious competition is on with AI. So you have to pivot a milk and honey culture away from “we do everything and we are good at it” to “we have strategic focus”. Can’t tell which it is.
Something I'm still wrapping my head around is how a public company thinks it can maybe increase share price because of foundational software infrastructure, and also doing rolling scattershot layoffs of the people who build and maintain that infrastructure. Maybe ok! 1/
