A good design process is invisible to users but obvious to the team. It leaves fingerprints, not footprints.

On an emergent tech team, scientists poke at bleeding edge tech for possibilities & UX designers find the right application. What if we can give the user this super power? What can the AI reliably know, recognize and anticipate? Designers, scientists & Eng riff on the UX.

18F was dissolved because it saved money. We pushed back against contractors who tried to screw American taxpayers. We showed how cheap and good government software can be. Musk hates that.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Design isn’t hard bc there is turf wars on social media or that it’s doesn’t get a seat at the table. Design is hard bc Design is a series of decisions. Design is hard when designers hold no mission or principles to guide their decisions aside from aesthetic and usability patterns.

Big news! There's a new project that's raising cash to build out AT Protocol infrastructure that isn't dependent on venture-funded Bluesky, to stimulate the development of new social networks using that infrastructure, and to make the protocol's governance more democratic fortune.com/2025/01/13/m...
Hollywood stars and geeks unite to billionaire-proof social media
