Relationships
fromSilicon Canals
8 hours agoPsychology says people who would always rather call than text aren't demanding more of your time - they're asking for the one thing that separates a real conversation from the performance of one, which is the sound of another person being alive on the other end, and that need is not inconvenient, it is human - Silicon Canals
Phone calls foster deeper connections than text messages, capturing nuances of emotion that typed words cannot convey.

Every SaaS company will transform into agentic-as-a-service platforms, requiring designers to solve fundamental problems in agent interaction, behavior, and user experience as AI agents become central to enterprise software.

3 days agoPsychology says the most self-centered people in any room aren't the ones who talk loudest - they're the ones who respond to every story you tell with a story about themselves, so automatically and so consistently that they've long since stopped noticing they do it - Silicon Canals
Conversational narcissism involves shifting focus in conversations back to oneself, often without awareness, hindering genuine connection.

2 days agoI hated small talk for thirty years because I thought it was shallow - until I noticed that every meaningful relationship I've ever had started with a conversation about the weather, a shared queue, or a throwaway comment that neither of us expected to lead anywhere - Silicon Canals
Small talk serves as a gateway to deeper conversations and meaningful relationships, contrary to the belief that it is shallow and pointless.

For decades in SAAS, products reduced ambiguity. Users supplied constrained inputs, and the system handled the output. It's never been Minority Report cinematic, but it was predictable. By providing predictable environments for manipulating data, users learned by moving things, adjusting variables - and the outcome emerged through interaction.

At some point, every UX learner realizes that having a portfolio isn't the same as having a convincing portfolio. You may have screens, wireframes, and prototypes. You may even have multiple projects. But when your work is reviewed, the feedback feels vague. "Tell me more about your process." "Why did you make this decision?" "What was the impact?" That's because a strong UX case study isn't a gallery of designs. It's an argument.

You just finished a design project. And it was a mess. Timelines constantly shifted. Stakeholders disagreed, going back and forth. You made calls without enough data to support them. Maybe the final design wasn't what you wanted. Now comes the hard part: thinking about how you're going to talk about it in your portfolio or case study. Most designers have one basic instinct in this scenario: clean it up. Tell the story as if there was no conflict, no missteps, and a smooth experience.

Your junior designer spins up a prototype in Lovable before lunch. Your PM shows you a "working" MVP built entirely with Cursor within a day. And your CEO forwards you a LinkedIn post about how AI will replace 80% of UI work by 2026. And it seems like anyone can now make an app to solve a specific problem. Has the graphical interface really died, as Jakob Nielsen provocatively suggests?

1 month agoThe Design Vibeshift
Something's been slowly shifting in the design zeitgeist. I've been watching my feed on X and the vibe has changed. More and more, I see designers sharing finished experiments or prototypes they coded themselves, rather than static Figma files. Moving from working on a canvas to talking to an LLM. The conversation isn't "here's a design I made" anymore... it's "here's something I shipped this afternoon."
