Working with people for whom English is a second language? Some great tips here. I know I'm often guilty of (a) talking way too fast, and (b) in a very strong accent that only people from Norn Iron* can understand.

*For native English speakers, speaking English at work is a privilege. Your international colleagues have done a LOT of hard work to learn English, often to have better career opportunities at global companies. What they have done is extremely difficult and commendable.*

Nudges work! We just need to avoid sludge. It's essential to incorporate #HumanCenteredDesign and #usability principles into the #EHR and #ClinicalDecisionSupport to make it easy to do the right thing. #HCD #CDS https://www.labpulse.com/point-of-care-testing/article/15307606/electronic-health-record-interventions-reduce-unnecessary-urine-culture-orders-study-finds

The draft of the #SouthPasadena #HousingElement that I’ve been working on for the past few months is now out for public review. It’s already getting some positive comments from one of the city’s most vocal critics.

It’s been a journey to get the city’s staff, decision makers, and community on board with what was needed to ensure enough #housing gets built in South Pasadena, but we did it. I’m incredibly proud of this work, and can’t wait to see it certified by #HCD. https://twitter.com/jalbymd/status/1631490494139338752

Just realised that the problem with the @elk web client (currently in Alpha, but it's great - such elegant design) is the lack of *affordance* when comments are displayed.

I *thought* that only 3 comments were ever available *because there were no visible hints or clues to tell me that other comments would be displayed if I scrolled down*. All I saw was white space.

I only discovered this functionality by accident. A classic usability issue. Such important functionality needs to be explicit, not hidden.

Easy to fix by providing some affordance - show your users what they can do.

Despite this, I'm lovin' Elk. It's great. 😀

Simply horrendous off-boarding experience from #Adobe who must be haemorrhaging customers... They wanted to charge me $100 for having the temerity to want to cancel my account! What kind of customer experience is that? That's worse than Readers Digest back in the day.

The price of the commoditisation of UX design

Cornelius Rachieru describes the current trend of extreme commoditisation of UX design in corporate environments, and the consequences this has on the quality of the design delivery, and on the designers themselves.

COO of Services Australia on #robodebt:
"We're a service delivery agency … when we're given a program to deliver or implement, we don't generally look behind how that decision was made or designed or the legalities, we look to implement it in a lawful fashion."
i.e. 'we were only following orders'.

Sometimes you need to question those orders in the name of humanity. #UX #HCD #UXdesign #ServiceDesign #ethics

Feeling a bit stuck with how to interpret your user research? I wrote another article for Catalyst., all about synthesis (a fancy word for understanding and turning that understanding into action!) 👇🏻

@kentparkstreet You're absolutely right - and perhaps even more importantly, devs and product owners seeing #Accessibility as merely a 'check-box' issue - and being only interested in legal compliance; and not at all interested in getting ppl with lived experience involved in a proper co-design process.

#CoDesign #HCD #UX #UXDesign

@ScopicEngineer on #Accessibilty and challenges in the #tech landscape:
"I always say that if it’s on the Internet and not illegal, it must be accessible, and if it’s inaccessible, I want to know why. I know this means I will be on the hot seat of many moral and ethical technological arguments, but when it comes to future tech, I want to be there. If disabled people and others in the accessibility field aren’t having these arguments and discussing accessibility, who will do it? Shutting down any exploration means the accessibility of future tech is bleak because, as we have repeatedly seen, technology will be built without any thought to disability and accessibility. Given that much of this newer technology will be imposed on the masses without want or need, it’s essential that everyone has access to investigate, and subvert as needed."

I caught up @scottjenson recently - Scott refers to himself as a battle scarred veteran of the software industry.

In this episode we drill into Scott’s focus at the moment, Design within FOSS (free and open source software). We plan on recording two episodes, so this is Part 1. Part 2 will follow in early 2023.
