  1. “Research is not valuable only because it generates insights. It is valuable because it changes the people who participate in it.”

    Why Human-Led Research Still Matters in the Age of AI

  2. “Putting an early-career researcher on a low [research]-adoption product is not a development opportunity. It is a setup for burnout that leadership will eventually misread as a performance problem. Matching researcher profile to team maturity is how you prevent that, and how you protect research credibility at the same time.”

  3. Much of AI "productivity gains" come from managers implicitly trusting an LLM to do a good job, and suspending the onerous micromanagement that humans employees get subjected to.

    You can do that without paying Anthropic a single penny. It just requires letting the experts you hired do their jobs.

  5. @patc Gee… if only someone did user research! I thought Adobe was a design driven company. 🤷

    There’s so many unemployed user researchers out there right now. You’d think they could afford to hire some (if they don’t already have the talent in-house going unused).

  7. If you're prototyping a service (in the UK) that asks people to provide a telephone number, but for obvious reasons you don't want the user's actual number, you can ask research participants to use one of these fake telephone numbers from #ofcom

  9. Pas d'ici mais j'ai une amie d'amie, trans avec des soucis de santé, qui cherche urgemment (URGEMMENT) un travail. Elle prend globalement : tout. Elle peut bouger pour le job. Basée à Nantes pour l'instant.

    Elle fait de la User Research à la base, elle a un master en psychologie comportementale. Elle peut travailler en anglais.

    Si vous avez des pistes, si vous voulez des CVs à faire passer,...

  11. Sometimes the most difficult part of the research process can be getting full buy-in from the project team. This can be especially true when the team have strong opinions on what needs to be done and the research is contradicting this. This can lead to conflict and the validity of the research being questioned.

    However, there are ways to bring the project team with you and get their buy-in and support at every stage of a project.

  13. We are hiring! 🔔 We are looking for #userResearch​ers. Regular level – paying between 60 and 68k digitalservice.bund.de/karriere/off... Senior level – paying between 72 and 80k digitalservice.bund.de/karriere/off... To work effectively in our environment, you need to speak German at C1 level.

  14. Usability testing a Canadian website. In the research plan, I mentioned the client would look better if thank-you gifts for participants were from a Canadian company. After all, we're all Canadian, living and working north of the 49th parallel.

    The client agreed, so we're offering a choice of gift card for
    • Superstore
    • Chapters-Indigo
    • A & W

    While participants choose differently, each one knows immediately which card they want.

    It's not #Amazon.

  16. More #GovDesign roles at the German State Pension provider have opened. In addition to a #userResearch er, they are seeking to fill 2 #UX / UI design roles based in Berlin by 28 May. The salary range is €53,162 to €78,776. You find them on my little job board: verwaltungsgestaltung.de#positionen

  17. Nothing beats doing user research while watching a user actually using software. You'll hear things like, “It takes me 33 clicks to do this one thing.”*

    * An actual thing I heard someone say recently while watching a person using someone else's software.

  18. You can't do #userResearch to "validate your assumptions."

    Research reveals just how wrong you are. It *absolutely* does not indicate how right you were.

    You need #OKRs or some other framework for that.

  20. #LLM tools let you write code faster, but LOCs has NEVER been the bottleneck to value. The bottleneck is organizational coherence.

    Instead of working towards that alignment, we are encouraged to "just #AI it." The result? AI makes everyone work MORE, with no real productivity gains.

    Teams need to get better at choosing more valuable work to do. For that, you need #UserResearch. And user research can only happen at a human pace.

  22. Another #govDesign job klaxon 🔔 At @[email protected], we are looking for a mid-level #contentDesign er and a working-student #userResearch er to join us. It’s been a while since we opened these roles, so I am really excited about listing these: verwaltungsgestaltung.de#positionen

  24. "Sometimes you go into user research with a hypothesis and the research validates it. That’s great. That’s easy. But what I really love is when you go in with a hypothesis and the research totally flips it on its head. That’s when you learn the most."

  28. “Vibe-coding is fun. You describe what you want, code appears, and building feels like progress. That satisfaction is a trap. You’re accumulating artifacts that may have nothing to do with what anyone needs.” — Christina Wodtke

  29. Trust online refers to customer belief that needs will be met, and to the security and satisfaction they feel.

    ☑️ Does your website offer an easy, simple, and forgiving interface? Can customers easily recover from errors? Is your site helpful?

    ☑️ Is information clear and digestible, without barriers of unpleasant surprises?

    ☑️ Can AI interpret and represent your content correctly?

    ✅ Do you research whether your site cultivates trust?

  30. If the people building AI products did more #UserResearch, they'd be able to figure out what problems folks actually have where AI can help.

  31. This morning, Discord released a survey about #AI. Only a few hours later, the survey suddenly closed. Judging by the responses shared publicly by users — the feedback was uniformly negative.

    The question is: will Discord respect the results, or will the surveys continue until morale improves?

  32. ✔ Say you search for something and there's a list of smart results.

    You have a toggle that enables something like 'strict keyword matching' - which means any result not having those keywords will be dealt with.

    👀 Catch: Keep in mind that often search results can be indirectly related to what you looking for without containing those keywords.

    Question is, how would you like them dealt with?
