About intensity vs. consistency →"Great culture — no matter where we are no matter how big the organization — is not about intensity, it's about consistency. You can't get into shape by going to the gym for nine hours. It won't work. But if you work out every single day for 20 minutes, you will absolutely get into shape." I'm usually not a fan of motivational speeches, but this one really resonated with me. Consistency is how I deal with most things in my life and my career. From the way I nurture relationships, to how I solve design problems, to how I mentor designers, to how I approach writing and blogging.
Immersive design: the next 10 years of interfaces →Over the last decade, we've seen content move from newsstands, to desks, to our laps, and then into our hands. It seems clear that the next step is to remove the device altogether and place the content in the world itself, eliminating the abstraction between the content and it's audience. We call the process of designing for this Immersive Design, which includes VR/AR/MR/XR — basically all the Rs.

So I asked a few friends to help. By Teresa Torres. Conversational design, the book →Texting is how we talk now. We talk by tapping tiny messages on touchscreens — we message using SMS via mobile data networks, or through apps like Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. By Erika Hall. ReCaptcha is UX's worst nightmare →The machines are rising, and soon, we'll all have to face being fired because a new designer-bot designs better interactions than us. Captcha started as a way to prevent automated form filling, but ended up causing a UX nightmare. Omri Lachman. Navigating the complexity of change aversion →Change aversion is the negative reaction users have to changes in your product, whether that's functional changes or interface changes. As designers, how do we navigate around that sentiment?
