And yet so often UX Writing is distained as an unecessary job that can be handled by designers or PMs instead of recognising the verbs and nouns of your product are its fundamental architecture to users. And that's before you get to voice & tone.

- hackernewds 4y agoWhy the supposition that PMs and designers cannot learn this within < a week? Driven by personal qualm or bias perhaps
- ThrowawayTestr 4y agoUX is an art and you can't learn art in a week.

- politelemon 4y agoThis is unnecessarily condescending and doesn't actually answer the question.

- Karunamon 4y agoPlease leave such condescension and other toxic commenting behaviors on reddit where they belong.
- brigandish 4y agoI'm glad you got the message. Let's hope the person who really needs it gets it.
- diarrhea 4y agoFor the same reason a writer is not and cannot be expected to become a designer within just one week. In the case of shoddy visuals, it's just much more obvious to even laymen if something's off.
- politelemon 4y agoHmm, I think this just might be a situation of our own making. When we assign a title to a person, we draw imaginariy mental lines and we hold an implicit bias that says only they are capable of doing that thing, rather than, it's their primary goal to be doing that thing. Similarly, others outside that title will hold a prejudice thinking, what is the big deal with what they are doing, what's taking so long, couldn't someone else do it? The question can easily be shifted to ask, why only devs doing development, couldn't PMs and designers do it too? Well, yes they can. At least parts of it. HTML, CSS, definitely, maybe some basic JS too. Could devs do PM work, I think so, at least little bits!
