No. Titles don’t matter. Or rather, they shouldn’t. Titles are supposed to signal the complexity and scope of your role. But tech isn’t military or beauracracy. Heck. It isn’t even banking or telecom. Titles in tech are dumb. Let’s take a deep dive into this hellhole… 🧵
But PMs are doing 90% of this stuff
Very interested to hear your thoughts on this sir. This is also cheating.
There is a lot of chatter about people moonlighting in the tech industry. This is cheating - plain and simple.
Single most customer hostile notification I’ve ever seen
through bad designs & laws, we've made closing dialogs the default action when visiting a Web page (1/3)
Basically, the whole digital revolution was about firing people and using software instead. Quality and humanity were shitcanned, along with millions of jobs. The money saved went to the oligarchs. That wasn't the plan.
I’m increasingly coming across companies with a Chief Product officer, two PMs per squad and a single shared designer. I guess this is the ultimate outcome of “everybody is a designer”. We’ll get our PMs to “design” the product and you can make it look nice.
For every like on this tweet I will reply with something that most folks in tech and tech-adjacent industries don't want to hear. Hit me.
If you’re a digital product designer using a graphics editor to make software and are worrying about what a big company might do to your favorite tool over the next few years, you’re missing the forest for the trees.
I had upto 12 critiques every week. Prioritised those closest to shopping. And those farthest. Then the rest.
Design Leaders at large orgs (100+): How do you see all the work? How do you give feedback on the important work at the right time?
We are back again, Designers! We are trying to collate the salary information of UX design professionals in the market and even trying to make this accessible to everyone. We had shared a super detailed report last year about the salary survey results. designersalaries.in
Yeah. Our craft is naked. There’s little to hide behind. Avoiding criticism while designing will simply delay the criticism from the customer.
I think designers generally do a great job of seeking feedback without ego and giving feedback without judgment. PM teams can learn a lot from observing how designers seek & discuss feedback on their work.
Such a sad take Something not being the primary differentiator ≠ focusing on it is being an artist Also many money making companies also don’t have their tech talked about. So what? You should want as many differentiators as possible. This take discourages craftspeople.
No one talks about Easemytrip, Naukri, Linkedin, Indiamart's UI. But they all make money. On the internet, UI has to make money, only then the UI is good. You are not building a productivity tool. You are not making an art gallery.
Every field is a dead-end field if you decide to give up, cry and shout “why can’t I just keep doing what I have always done”
please stop trying to hire me to do product design jobs product design is a dead end field im sorry everyone i know in it hates it and wants to leave we spent all of the early 2010s fighting for a "seat at the table" but turns it it's just drawing more rectangles at higher stakes
Then why call them different things? 🤔
Too many UX designers and PMs argue over which role does what. I believe the right answer is not to focus on the split/divide but rather to hugely overlap, and thus get the benefit of informed debate, thus better ideas and decisions.
In 2014, @Facebook launched an app. It was called Paper. It was one of the first project from Facebook Creative Labs. It was strikingly well-designed, fluid and pushed boundaries of what was possible back then. @mike_matas was prominently involved.
💡How many designers does it take to change a lightbulb? ❗UX Researcher: You can't just start solving the problem without understanding the problem first. 📔<Sets off on a 3 month study to understand the socio-economic impact of indoor lighting>
1. More control on prioritisation. Why and what gets built is more powerful than how. 2. At a senior enough level the management skills overlap anyways. 3. It pays more. In most orgs. Short term and long. That's a tough one to overlook for some.
Why does every young person in tech want to be a Product Manager? It sounds fancy but the reality is way more boring. - 40% expectation management (especially with the CEO!) - 40% time in meetings to keep stakeholders happy - 20% actual product thinking
Your lack of understanding of what it actually is — makes it harder for people who've dealt with horrendous debilitating anxiety and depression issues born out of un inclusive toxic work or personal environments, or systemic social biases. Let the professionals do the diagnosis!
