The fact that the UX world is overrun with self-proclaimed "design leaders" with very little to no actual experience in the discipline should have been, at its onset, and continue to be a MAJOR RED FLAG!!!

Some people APPEAR to be "on top," but you can tell they're not.... because they NEVER pull anyone "up."
They CAN'T (incapable) and WON'T (unwilling, even if they could).

One doesn't need a degree to succeed in UX, but learning without structure OR with faux structure fosters shipwreck. However you decide to proceed, make sure you choose wisely, as it will determine if you become part of UX's problem or its solution.

"Better" portfolio ≠ Better UXer.
Time to stop drinking and spreading the associated Kool-aid mindset.

For many people, valuing debate helps them give "life" to senseless topics.... such as this. Synthetic vs. real users is NOT a debate. It's a conversation for those without skill and no intent on working to obtain it. It makes zero sense.

I refuse to take career advice from someone.... that's not anywhere near the trenches. They're just spitballing.
Makes zero sense to take advice based on prognostication.

Saving salary is not the only reason many companies opt to hire less experienced people for their UX teams. It's a reflection of the lack of leadership skills that plagues our discipline.

Besides the fact there's no such thing as "UX/UI," it should also be known that the vast majority of jobs presenting such titles are (wait for it).... ACTUALLY UI DESIGN ROLES THAT (on purpose or indirectly) MENTION UX TO MISGUIDE FOLKS INTO SWEETENING THE POT OF THEIR PERCEPTIONS!!!

Today, I saw a post where someone said "traditional wireframes are becoming obsolete."
Newsflash: Wireframes all but disappeared about 5-6 years ago and are rarely produced.
People trying to get attention will say anything.

Newsflash: Pure UX has ALWAYS been a strategic role. And value is embedded in strategic operations.
So if you've doing been doing UI....
The title NEVER makes the person.

People aren't "changing" UX. They're bastardizing it, utilizing the space some built to further their own agendas and backwards perceptions.

As one who's used Figma since its beginning, I've come to recognize that they've spent so much time trying to be all things to all people that they've alienated the initial market they catered to — the UX community.

Being ahead of the curve is quite lonely.
In addition, it’s really hurtful to watch people who demonized you or just plain failed or neglected to acknowledge you for what you saw and shared what seems like eons ago later tout the same info…. as if they never heard it before.

Ever seen anyone newer to UX complaining because stakeholders and clients won't listen to them…. But yet those same folks won't listen to seasoned and proven UX professionals that are trying to help and guide them?

Been reviewing UX conference schedules for the past few years. MOST of the speakers are poseurs, retrofits, and/or upstarts. The appetites of the average UXer today are EXTREMELY sad and doesn’t bode well for the discipline as a whole.

Sheer and utter FILTH. And over 343 likes, 163 comments, and 32 reposts. As long as people in the world of UX continue to give life to trash, we will continue to suffer.

Recently heard someone give "tips" on how to shift from being a "designer" to being a "critical thinker."
This is nothing more than misdirective, Koolaid-oriented hogwash.
A designer IS a critical thinker.

UX is about utilizing the myriad of methods, methodologies, techniques, and deliverables to find the sweet spot between user needs, business needs, and constraints.
Artificial intelligence DOES NOT change this approach and value prop — not one iota.

Someone's having a product on the market DOES NOT mean the people behind a given product are experts, have domain knowledge, have a passion for, care about, or truly have a proverbial horse in the race regarding the discipline their product caters to.
Just sayin'.

Misinformation is a dangerous thing. This history is incorrect, but over 200 people "liked" it on social media.
Which side of the fence are you on regarding these matters?

I continue to be amazed at the broad number of truly uninvested people in the UX world (i.e., people who've spent little to no time in the trenches of the discipline) that folks choose to listen to and stake their futures in.
Oh, well. Common sense.... isn't really common.

"Innovation" without meeting the actual needs and/or reflecting the mental models of users.... is nothing more than a glorified ego trip.
Say no to faux innovation.

(Pure) UX professionals are responsible for working to produce experiences that not only please aesthetically, but also psychologically, emotionally, and practically. Don't serve the cult of aesthetics!

Don’t allow yourself to be a victim of UX misdirection today. Take the clear path. Yes… it’s clear. Check out "Overcoming UX Misdirection" for the deets.

The problem with some UX tools is that the level of domain expertise that someone has will determine how and what people will use AND what tool someone will favor. If and when expert evaluation is not performed, the results may be undesirable in long run.
