That last line depends. There's a lot more to the environment, team, management structure, business goals, financing, and much more that would place them effectively at square one. I agree with your other points. But as an example, I w

This thread makes me wish I hadn't gone to grad school for an MSDA. I'd be a lot less angry at the ineptitude on bold display in this thread.

NowThis and that entire network of brands collaborating on radical politics. There has to be way to make this more obvious to people. I've watched VICE and NowThis alone radicalize perfectly decent people. I knew someone for over 10 ye

The entire dev process with Apple is hardly ethical. No flexibility with payment options, the constant review and redevelop process even on apps that have already established a strong history. And the upfront and continuing costs... You&#x2

Don't ever, ever, ever, ever... NEVER go to Reddit. I'm losing more neurons than I am patience these days.

Just FYI: We don't even know why we have them anymore. For the last 30 years or so, pennies have been worth less than their raw materials. They're so worthless, most people have more of them in their furniture or under their car s

It's not a faulty teaching process. I'm white, and I can dance. Dance, at its super basic foundation, is about physical awareness. The same way you teach someone how to use a piece of gym equipment, hold a yoga pose, or even ride

This is difficult to express, but that difficulty inherent to my process of describing my perspective to you is a motivator for me doing so. And that's where difficulty/challenge as a component of knowledge acquisition is importan

At the very least, limit the scope of the language until a standardized toolset is cross-functional. I'm not not throwing shade at UWP right now.

I did an MSDA, and I wanted to let you know that you're cutting off the majority of your opportunities for Data roles if you aren't specializing in a business component as well. For me, it was Sales. Started out as a Jr. Analyst a

I believe that understanding relationships between units (objects, people, etc.) explains high intelligence, especially in autism, more than most average thinkers assume. People tend to fixate on the unit, and presume a relationship apropos

Here's an idea, for whatever it's worth: Address the incentive to riot instead of attempting to assign full control and liability to one element over another. For all the obvious, on-the-nose proof that reactive states differ from

Similar issues have confounded me for years. And I've come to believe that a consistent strawman and Catch-22 can be found in political correctness: If we agree to use the substitute words, we admit the original words were designed to

I don't know about minimum effort. Some of Google's product teams have focused their best work on limitations that don't make sense. An example: It takes a lot of work to build an entire app ecosystem for Android Auto, only t

We ended up here because Amazon can't scale. It's just uncool to admit you have to notice the pink elephant. Why? I don't know. Maybe it has to do with cred in engineering teams or for engineering teams in the broader org str

Terrible for accessibility though. I'm sure screen readers have come a long way, but the core issue we dealt with 15-20 years ago was that the convenience of an imap wasn't worth breaking accessibility standards. With more of our

I'm not sure where people get the idea that they can assert something as a counterpoint on no basis. "That's just your opinion," is not a rational basis to disagree, especially when your counterpoint requires the implied

From an SE/SO professional, can I rant here for a moment? Marketing and Product rag on Sales a lot for discounting. Nevermind the fact that we own the touchpoints with an account, so it only makes sense that we'd know what any i

Maybe. One distinction I want to argue is placement: Amazon always places the Amazon Choice options at the top of the search and product listings. They also always include them in the "Popular, Editor's Picks, Highest Rated, etc.&

No one wants to learn how to develop a proper UI either. For all the heatmap and eye-tracking and logging tools available, no one seems to be doing anything useful with the data they get. Do you know it takes 3 or more states for Google Map

Worth mentioning that engineers often build proprietary solutions with proprietary tools and methods. So, while there are a lot of solutions that can be licensed and modified for a use case, the guy or gal building, say, Cisco's WebE

I'd agree on a lot of things in life, but UX is an exception because decisions made about how we interact with something have an area of effect. I've railed against Google's UX approach for years. Their UX approach requires t

Minimalism is about maintaining useful purpose behind the things you own and not retaining unnecessary objects. If you're a DIY person, and you have a good reason for a backyard of junk cars, that's explainable. If you buy a new i
