User Experience for Developers
- ziadbc 16y agoFirst time I've heard the "T Shaped Professional." That is exactly what I've been aiming toward becoming. You're a 'deviner' (developer/designer), maybe I'm a bizdeveloper.
- keiferski 16y agoIt's a relatively old term actually. I believe the guys from IDEO first introduced it. Very valid concept though. Tim Brown from IDEO: http://www.chiefexecutive.net/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications::Article&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=F42A23CB49174C5E9426C43CB0A0BC46 http://www.chiefexecutive.net/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=... (sorry for the long link.)
- aero142 16y agoWhich is really just another form of the quote "know everything about something and something about everything."
- keiferski 16y agoBrevity.
- nickcharlton 16y agoIts also mentioned in Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky.
- wushupork 16y agoI've never seen it put this way, but it's quite elegant. Did you come up with that?
- jdp23 16y agoIs it my imagination or is every single person mentioned in the article a guy?
- wushupork 16y agoIt didn't even occur to me there was a gender bias when I wrote this article but you are right.
- jdp23 16y agoThanks for the response! It's a very good article but the gender ratio was the first thing that popped out at me ... And talk about classic HN moments: the author of the original article thought my comment added information -- and I still got downvoted. http://www.talesfromthe.net/jon/?p=2091&cpage=1#comment-116520 http://www.talesfromthe.net/jon/?p=2091&cpage=1#comment-...

- rapind 16y agoGo to the homepage of this UX site and tell me what you think. Yes you will probably zoom because the text is so crowded and small. Once you zoom you'll notice that some of the touts wrap wrong and break the layout slightly. There must be an argument stating how this homepage has been optimized for some kind of reading pattern, but I just don't get it.
