Despite seeing suggestions to not call people “users” in UX, user experience design affects everyone, whether they work in technology at a high level or use technology from systems to someone just using their phone.
Google’s Abigail Posner says, “When we use the word ‘user’ it implies just when that person is using that device. The device is the story; the user is just the person who uses it. So…
The most undervalued, misunderstood job in software is security. If the security team is doing their job right, then the only visible effect is that they'll make features slower to develop, slower to run, more expensive, and sometimes so prohibitively difficult that you have to scrap parts of the feature. If that's the case, then your security team deserves a raise for how much hard work they're doing. When it comes to security, anything noticeable happening is VERY BAD.
My Coding Certification Half-Sprint: Day 1/7...It Begins!
I have been seduced by learning once again!
I have one month access to an entire collection of video courses (a huge library). They come with CERTIFICATES!!!! This is both a dream and a nightmare for me. So many options is too many options! 😂😅
I want to learn it all...and I keep trying to do it! HELP!
I started out just casually looking for game design courses. Then I found UX, then UI...then a BUNCH of other things...
And now I have found coding. Something I didn't know I wanted, nay...needed!
I am going to try and record my goals for courses and understanding what I want and need next here... I am getting way too overwhelmed with all the options available. (help, I'm a baby in a candy shop!)
My goals for today:
Finish the "Career Essentials in Soft Dev" and take the test...it makes sense
At least 1 HTML course (2+ hours long each)
Finish the Accessibility course for UX (another 2hrs)
Stare down the CSS course so it gets intimidated and doesn't know that its beefy 5hrs is scary...(at least 5 mins, reapply as needed)
Finish the Figma video that I keep starting and get distracted in...poor video
Recheck job listings to make sure that the things I'm learning together make sense... "Can I sell the employee/freelancer that I'm building?" 😅😂🤣
I think that's plenty for today... If I do more I do more... I'm just finishing up the UX training and only starting the Dev stuff. 👀 wish me luck and uh...focus lol
I’m learning Figma (i’m a designer trying to get a job in the UI/UX field) and built a twitter (pre-musk acquisition lol) inspired social media for Vampires called “Drip” ... built user stories around the WWDITS characters. I thought someone on this site might appreciate it.
P.S. if anyone knows anyone who’s hiring in the UI/UX/Visual Design field hmu!
Hi, i just wanted to say, I adore you as an artist. I love how all your art has image descriptions and I can reblog them to my tumblr without worry. It's just so gorgeous, and it reminds me of some of my other favorite artists. your sona is also lovely and silly too <3
ohhh thank you! your message encourages me to do better! i know there are definitely images i've missed descriptions for, especially these reaction images 😅 but i'll continue to do my best!!
Bad Omens should hire me as a freelance UX designer because that website is glitchy as hell with mobile not working and it’s got too much going the fuck on design wise with all the Matrix like type design.
