Oof... the theme switching mid scroll is rough
D&D is a game where you sit around arguing about your plan for 25 minutes and then do not follow that plan
I always say that playing Dungeons & Dragons teaches you all the skills to do Product Management
The Figma universe is ever-expanding
The best product teams understand how to confidently and incrementally execute on their vision in a way that allows them to learn and pivot as needed.
Product teams fall back on building as much product as possible when they lack the confidence to define a vision and execute. Teams that don't feel confident move without intention – using the guise of "agile" to justify their approach.

This is what I always expect to see and hear - and I feel like most design practitioners I know index on these things. But still seeing a weird disconnect. I wonder if it’s just such a competitive landscape that even the smallest shortcoming could mean that you miss out on a role now
Design folks that are actually hiring —What would you say is most important for candidates interviewing for a role?
Asking for multiple friends who I’d consider highly talented that are struggling to land roles.

I've been in the field for a decade and it feels at times we're in a worse spot than we were when I started
Reduction in overall headcount for design (especially roles like research, operations), design reduced to a service instead of an embedded product org practice, hiring practices that index on the wrong skills, and more. I could probably go on for a while.
I run ocux.org and I've been having a hard time wrapping my head around the shift I've seen. I really want to find out more about what people want out of an established design community.
Networking is fun and all (and necessary given the current job market) but I want our group to go beyond that.
What does the future of design industry thought leadership look like? Feels like we're ripe for a big shift.
Product design is backsliding as a discipline and we have industry leaders out here shilling AI. Honestly depressing.

Remember using Git to version control Sketch files? Damn, that was crazy
Regular kermit the frog talking to evil kermit the frog in a hood
“Tell them that EVERYONE is a designer”
This offer still stands 👀 I know y’all are out there
This is a crime against humanity
I like to dual-track it with the appropriate amount of time dedicated to each. It’s important to define a vision to get alignment with prod+eng and use that to ensure the tactical approach is aligned
Any UX/Design folks local to Southern California that would want to be added to a Socal Starter Pack??
