A PM once told me to “not let perfect be the enemy of good enough”, and their appending of “enough” to the end of that well-known proverb is the reason companies need UX designers.
There is an ocean of difference between “good” and “good enough”.

I started 2025 unemployed and have been looking for work since Jan 1. Figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here might know of something.
I am a UX/UI designer with a passion for crafting easy-to-use interfaces and user-centered digital experiences that help people work better. Committed to delivering impactful visuals that align with brand guidelines and drive business goals.
Open to in-person/hybrid roles in the #Seattle metro area, or to remote roles in the US. W2 only.
I value work/life balance, cross-functional collaboration (I play well with engineers!), and projects that drive meaningful and positive impact.

This week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.
Elinor Ostrom's understanding of the social system that manages a common resource is critical for making trade-offs in our own work, which can build - rather than burn - trust.

I’m considering switching back to Sketch from Figma. Mainly due to pricing.
Wondering if anyone has done the same recently and thoughts?
Everything is SEO now. The perverse incentives created by software eating the world turn everything we see into shit: what rises through the mire is optimized for the algorithm rather than for human interest and enrichment.
In this issue of Product Picnic, I look at some ways of pushing back. #UX #UXDesign #ProductManagement

The Product PicnicThe algorithm is not an excuse to stop systems thinkingAlgorithmic search has pushed both users and designers towards design patterns that use removing friction as an excuse to take away control. But some tools are bringing thoughtfulness back.
Next week at work is "Fix, Hack, Learn" week, where we get a whole week to pretty much work on whatever we want.
So, I'm thinking of using my week to do two things:
1) Create a set of posters to promote @Mastodon
2) Contribute in some way to @Tusky - either creating a set of Figma files and making some suggestions to tidy up the design of the app, or see if i can suggest solutions to some open tickets on GitHub.
Launching (proper) beta release track with the new sidebar UI/UX soon.
Props to the design and Product Team at Duolingo. I love how their icon changes state based on how long it has been since you have used their app.

I've been here for about a year without an #introduction, so here it is
I'm linuxjava7 (I go by many nicknames)
- #opensource and #freesoftware enthusiast
- #gnome lover
- I do #uxdesign as a hobby and enjoy #design as a whole
- I like #urbanism
- I do like #cars (and if that seems contradictory, it's not)
- I also like #linguistics, I'm studying #Arabic, and some other languages on the side.
- Also have #autism with #adhd aka #AuDHD
I mostly lurk around but occasionally I post some stuff
It's been around for years, but it's still a great site.

The thing I really want from quote boosts/quote posts on Mastodon?
Put the quoted text first, then put the commentary or reply *after it*.
This shouldn't be a weird idea. As the old adage puts it:
Because it reverses the normal order of reading.
> Why is bottom-quoting bad?
You ever wonder how the people responsible for the software you use haven't been fired a dozen times over? Measureship is to blame. By carefully picking their metrics, managers can make the biggest, stinkiest turd look like a rose on C-suite dashboards.
