Sadly, in projects UX designers don’t always have a say on which cookie consent the client will be using. Nevertheless I agree with you. Sometimes I have a feeling they make it so hard to decline optional cookies they hope you give up, to get on with your day, and just accept to give up your data.

There is a design job board for open source projects opensourcedesign.net/jobs/. Hope this helps!

Welcome Paul! Happy to see you here! I search for every author or design leader I gaine insights from when I join a new platform. That is why I already started following you. Have to keep an eye on those who share valuable knowledge in the industry!

I wish you the best in your choice. Any job can be stressful and tedious. And you may come across many people and articles talking about leaving the product design industry. But everyone has their own story, their own path. For me, moving into UX was the best career choice I ever made.

I will certainly talk about it soon. Currently, the project is still in the discovery phase. We started with surveys and interviews from a different idea. Currently we are pulling the discovery research broader than originally expected. (We are doing it on our own time, so scheduling is a challenge)

Yes, that's the book! I recommend it everywhere I work as a consultant to my colleagues. I am convinced that understanding listening sessions makes you a better qualitative researcher. Even if you don't apply the technique yourself. It changes the way you talk to people forever.

I read the book when it just came out. Fantastic book btw. I am currently working on a product for parents. During user interviews, I noticed that the topic we are working on was so many times more sensitive and broader than initially thought. I look forward to applying the technique thoroughly.

That's very kind of you, but it's not necessary. The model is entirely your idea. I'm glad I could help!

Thank you for sharing. I like deceptive patterns. It’s more descriptive and less ambiguous. I googled deceptive patterns, apparently I was living under a rock for the past year or so 😅

Cool, happy learning! How are you learning JS? I learned JS back in 2011 at college and I didn’t need it that often. Like just a few times over the years. Currently I’m relearning JS via a Udemy course. Bought a course in promo and they are great.

That looks tasty and amazing. What kind of drink was it?

X has too many adds, too many followers and like chasers, aggressive algorithms, feels cluttered, can’t start a discussion if you don’t have thousands of followers, feels hostile. Mastodon is not user-friendly for mainstream users. BlueSky feels user-centered. And the AT Protocol might have a future

Probably someone somewhere is writing about why you only need 5 (to 8) users at this very moment.
