Research Debt Science is a human activity. When we fail to distill and explain research, we accumulate a kind of debt...

Magical thinking for the technocrats. Prompt engineering for everyone else.

Uh, we paid writers $100/article back in 2008 for UX Booth. I would expect more from Fast Company in 2025.

I wonder if we need a more nuanced way of describing consent in this context? Rather than β€œpassive” consent models like terms of service or β€œactive” consent models like informed consent, what if we approached consent as a continuous process (similar to β€œsocial license to operate”)?

If Pavel is right then Apple, the very company that popularized the phrase user experience (if I’m not mistaken), appears to have lost the plot. I really hope not.

Wow. I’m so sorry Dan.

MCP is the coming of Web 2.0 2.0 - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

It’s been fun watching the unlikely rise of MCP as a standard, which is open and messy in a way that mimics the dynamics of the good parts of Web 2.0. Maybe something interesting will happen! www.anildash.com//2025/05/20/...

Thank you for your service. I don’t miss dreamweaver (or frontpage) but the VCs do, apparently.

As someone who looks for ways to explain VIM to my UX students, I think this takes the cake.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

A thread about 18F:

It’s almost as if we’re seeing the rise of gender-climate change deniers.
