Ben BloodworthA PM once told me to “not let perfect be the enemy of good enough”, and their appending of “enough” to the end of that well-known proverb is the reason companies need UX designers.There is an ocean of difference between “good” and “good enough”.<a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/UXdesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UXdesign</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductDesign</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/AppDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppDesign</a>

SamsonovThis week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.Elinor Ostrom's understanding of the social system that manages a common resource is critical for making trade-offs in our own work, which can build - rather than burn - trust.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProductManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductManagement</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UXDesign</a><a href="https://productpicnic.beehiiv.com/p/the-bounty-of-the-commons" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://productpicnic.beehiiv.com/p/the-bounty-of-the-commons</a>

Brian SlettenIt seems likely that these standardized interfaces will start with specific use cases and then generalize to industries before something more potentially universal.We’ll need standard data models, API descriptions, decentralized authorization strategies and more.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#robots</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uxdesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uxdesign</a>

Brian SlettenI understand the demonstrative value of the knob-turning dexterity, but I question whether that makes any sense beyond the early days of adoption. Robots and humans will both need to interact with the same affordances, but as we head down this path, I’d wager we’ll see more standardized interfaces a la R2-D2 interacting with ships, doors, computers, etc. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#robots</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uxdesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uxdesign</a>

I’m lucky enough to be able to do unpaid work, to gain real life experience.Whats in this for you, Senior UX designer?- You can delegate any task to me, I will pay extreme attention to your instructions and try to give you exactly what you want- I’m a ridiculously fast learner. Someone once said ”you’re not even an ’explain once’-student, you’re just kind of reading my mind. An ’explain 0 times type of student’”- I want this to be valuable to you, more than it is to me; I want to take on the tasks that you find the least fulfilling.What’s in it for me?- If possible, I would love to shadow you and just kind of observe how/what you do. No need for me to ask you about it, I’d rather just observe your process.- Getting insight into the industry right away while my knowledge is still fresh, rather than spend the first 6 months after graduation applying for jobs (and be competing with people with much more experience for those same jobs)- learning workflows as they are in real life, in all of their imperfections, and how experienced UXers approach problems
