Gonna send out some #AppreciateWomen love from @emalone's amazing Did you Know womenofixd.com/did-you-know
I love this sassy podcast with "Drinking, swearing and two old ladies yelling at each other about what annoys us... so basically, everything."
Let's not hide knowledge behind jargon!
This is all from @emalone's great work!
Mosaic was the precursor to Netscape and was the first successful web browser.

Too bad there is only one "fun fact." Irene ran all of Yahoo design then all of google design and now is at Khosla helping entrepreneurs. Um... AND teaches Yoga.
Who was CEO fo the influential Adaptive Path in their early years? Founded LUXR, the first Lean UX agency way before the book was written about Lean UX?
Brenda is a real OG for games and UX. Her wikipedia article can tell the tale en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_La… but I admire Purple Moon and her books, Design Research and Computers as Theater probably the most. She's a personal hero!
Rashmi has done so much great work! Don't blame her for what happened to slideshare; when she was founder/CEO it was amazing!
OMG, the work she is doing there is amazing! and dig up her talks...
I'll finish wiht a little backpat. if you found this educational, check out womenofixd.com/did-you-know

ok, gonna usability test twitter alternatives to see if i can coax authors and illustrators over...
Mastodon: D (would be F but there a ton of people here who want to do free tech support)
Librem.one: F

who's next?
fyi, authors and illustrators are tech savvy, they just have better things to do.
hmm, reddit might be the answer, except it doesn't cross the streams, I adore my heterogenous stream,

If you hate OKRs, someone is doing them wrong. Maybe you, maybe your boss.
If you are told what to do, someone is doing OKRs wrong.

If you are told what results you should try to produce, and you're trusted to figure out how, it's good.
If you are handed your OKRs, someone is doing it wrong.

If you figure out what OKRs to set for you and your team (once you've got the company goals) you're probably ok.

"We're entering a new type of design" Overtta Sampson, talking NOW on AI and ML

Our speaker.
As a former Journalist, I kept waiting when I moved into design for us to say, this is our ethics statement. But it never came, so I had to make my own. We all should.

A mistake a lot of us in tech make is thinking everyone is like us. Twitter makes this worse because we follow people like us. I'm going to call them "Product people" like we did at LinkedIn in the old days. It includes designers and engineers.
We are people who like new things.
Product People are never satisfied. We believe something could always be better.
We don't like being told what to do, but we enjoy being challenged.
We don't mind ambiguity, because it is a space of opportunity.
And it's hard to imagine any other way to be.
When I was a new design manager at Yahoo (gosh, in 2002?) we had to do "interesting" work like figuring out what a search interface should be and "boring" work like making banners.
I decided to rotate designers from role to role so they could have fun sometimes and rest sometimes

I am against aspirational and committed OKRs. tl;dr on why: the limits of working memory and tessler's law.

What do I recommend instead: consider if you want a moonshot goal or a yoga stretch.
If you have never done yoga, a good teacher will invite you to stretch but NOT hurt yourself. So as you set a goal you can start with what you know you can do but then slowly increase it until you feel the stretch. When you say off this is a bit hard, but not impossible.
I heard stories of a company where they stopped using OKRs because the team would kill themselves each quarter to make the OKRs. Because they couldn't self-regulate I'd suggest they use yoga stretches instead. Here the manager would coach them down from their moonshot goal.

Via the suggests, I've gotten a lot of clarity on the problem:
My students are asked to make interactive fiction (IF.) They are computer science students (HCI) and while they are all great at nonfiction, many struggle with fiction (never mind the complexity of interactive.)
Some have never even written fiction! I cannot imagine this TBH.
I notice they have a lot of freedom creating "disposable" stories such as RPGs and other story telling games.
But when they make their own story, the often start strong and then get stuck. This is to be expected:
It's often called the messy middle by writers. You get lost in the german forest, stuck in the weeds. This is where structure can really help, from the seven point thewritingkylie.com/blog/the-basic…
to the story circle blog.reedsy.com/guide/story-st…
or a beat sheet timstout.wordpress.com/story-structur…
