Oh no, now I need even more plants it sounds like! 🌱

Do you have any plants in said room?

Behind the scenes #3

Bell Labs, NJ, 12/22

When I was at GoPro, one of my mentors was the Dir of Eng. His background was a Software Architect. He said this to me, “You think that the value you bring is your ideas. But really your value is that the way you work, your research activities bring people together.” Research is a team sport.

Yes.

My ultimate goal is to con people who are smarter than I am to collab on stuff; @thezachj.bsky.social is one of those people 👨‍💻😈

Updated new favorite: schedule-send messages

Ok what’s your favorite iOS update in this moment (because it will change) mine is the ability to bold/italicize/underline/strikeout words in iMessage ❤️‍🔥

As I continue to examine my addictive tech tendencies, I’ve found that once I eliminate one, I replace with the next, in this order:

Short form vid content ➡️ Reddit doom threads ➡️ NYT games ➡️ Bluesky

Incredible that this device has the literal ENTIRE library on it but my brain is like, “Eh.” 😩

🙌

I absolutely love #axecon because it’s all about accessibility, the content is quality, the website is user-friendly, and it’s free!

I mean, I definitely hope I do this!
But, how can I begin to recognize my own natural skill sets that have so far gone unrecognized?

As a former dir of product mgmt @Twitter (which I loved), I can confidently say that since Oct 2022, Bluesky, w/its small but mighty staff, has implemented more impactful & user-centered product features than multi-billion dollar public companies w/thousands of employees have done in over a decade.🦋

Welcome over! Starter packs are great for finding people. Here's a few

When I searched for your name and you popped up I thought, “Oh, thank goodness, he is here!” I love what you do and share @bradstulberg.bsky.social 😊

I created a web accessibility and inclusion starter pack. Comment with your favourite accessibility folks, and I'll add them to the list. #a11y

Bluesky right now feels a little like all the Whos gathering to sing after the Grinch stole their floofloovers and jingtinglers.

About 24 hours into using @bsky.app and it’s been delightful so—

Tweet that says I still think my favorite thing that's ever happened to me on the internet is the time a guy said people change their minds when you show them facts and I said actually studies show that's not true and linked two sources and he said yeah well I still think it works

user research in a nutshell

As an OT, I had to understand 1 EMR system that rarely changed, and a handful of tools (physical devices or written assessments) that had not changed in 30+ years.

Now, as a UX researcher and a11y professional on a small team, I use 20+ software products that get upgrades constantly. I am 😅

🤩

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

📣 I created a starter pack for the UX research community! I made so many friends and learned so much over the years on Twitter. Let's recreate that magic here. ✨ go.bsky.app/K7LqGXU
