Increasingly, tech's theory of change looks something like this:
-AI will let us do outputs faster
-With the freed up time, we will finally be able to Do Strategy
Which is only a conclusion you can come to if you don't understand how LLMs work, how software gets made, and how people work together.

Designers are always inventing new titles. Web designer, UI designer, UX designer, UX/UI designer, Product designer, UX/AI designer (???)
These are all the same!
As long as your work is mediated entirely by Figma and Jira, you are just a production artist. Here's how to get out of that racket.

Without UX governance, your app turns to "sludge"
Break out of the feature delivery mindset and attend to the architecture and maintenance of the product.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

No one “turned on white dudes”. We turned on people acquiring power through corruption, clinging to it with violence,using it to justify racism, misogyny, sexual abuse and economic injustice. And since not all white duded are like this, it must not be the “white” or the “dude” that is the problem.

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.
We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.
