Am I the only one who finds it strange that "minority groups" is listed as a persona and that it's also associated with compatible traits, behaviors, and values

- war1025 7y agoReading through the list, it seems like the author is aiming for an audience of "people like me", which isn't really the worst thing. I glanced through the website homepage and didn't really understand what the site was all about, but I'm also not the target audience based on those criteria, so maybe that's okay.
- turc1656 7y agoYeah I thought it was a joke at first but then I saw the comments here and went back to re-evaluate. Looks more to me like it's a thought process that's laid out like code to help the author come up with ideas that solve problems and then evaluate the efficacy of those ideas based on a perceived market for it. Sort of like a checklist to run through in your mind but laid out as a coding workflow. If you are familiar with the GTD method from David Allen, it reminds me of that a bit where "var product = new idea(getPainsIFeel());" and "innovateSolutions(painsIFeel, audiences, traitsBehaviorsValues);" is basically the equivalent of the weekly review and trigger list to generate things to do/improve. Similarly, thing like createValuableContent(), achieveProductMarketFit(), and synthesize() are analogous to the intermediary stages within GTD that drive the workflow and keep things on track to reach completion.
