Hey folks, if I am following you on another social media platform but not here don’t take offense, it’s either I can’t distinguish you by your userID, profile photo, or a clever name you might be using. Just reach out and let me know and I’ll follow you back.

Hello, peopleos!
I'm looking for work and am hopeful someone in this place can help. Here's the low-down of what I've been up to, how I can help, and yes, I will move to Ireland. :)
If you don't know of anything at the moment, a quick repost is appreciated.

The job market is so bad right now that there could be a single universal job application form. On it is only a checkbox that simply says “[ ] Yes, I would like to have the disappointment of rejection feeling sent to my personal email address regularly.” 🤦♂️ Folks, it’s not you it’s the market. 🙄

The diff in both the user base & product approach across social media platforms is astonishing. Today:
Threads: Apple & Tim Cook/Trump thing, Instagram Map thing, and about 100 other triggering things
BlueSky: the BlueSky growth problem, business as usual
LinkedIn: AI, AI, AI, go to my workshop

Does anyone actually talk about design here? I mean specifically UX Design, Product Design, UI Design, Interaction Design, etc. because if I do the algorithm or whatever is certainly not sharing it with me.

Looking back on the early work around #Inclusion noted in this article, by people such as @nickf.bsky.social and Steven Champeon, it's a shame to think how little progress the wider industry has actually made in this area.

Seven years ago today I had an idea and started putting effort into making that idea a reality. Today Craft & Rigor has advised countless businesses on design operations and has design coached + mentored an unimaginable number of clients. It’s hard to believe how far this little idea has come.
