The account where I talk about UX, science communication, writing, and other professional things I am paid to do. Conversation designer and UX lead for a FI's chatbot project, but this account is super definitely very much not affiliated with them.

Honestly if Pepsi put smilies in various states or distress on their bottles the way coke does random names and out of date slang, they'd make some sales

A smiley face with dead eyes and a lopsided smile that clearly hides at least a decade of pain and burnout 

Or maybe I'm just projecting

Chime's move money screen, with a big red error banner that reads "Please check your connection."

Chime's move money screen, with a big red error banner that reads "Please check your connection."

Content stuff and relatively small potatoes, but Chime's android app went down a few weeks back and their error message (incorrectly) blamed users. People were confused and furious about it online.

I've been on bluesky since the beta days but now it is finally time for me to make a grown up fancy Professional โ„ข๏ธ account to supplement my jokes and nonsense.

If you know my other account on here no you don't.

Oooh do you happen to know if there are any content designer or conversation designer starter packs? I would love to find other folks who do what I do.

I know I don't have any followers on this acct yet to see me scream AMEN to this, but:

AMEN

You think taking time to build a feature with good usability (and accessibility!) takes time, wait till you've got 20+ features built on garbage UX established at the start "just to get something out"
