In September, @ArlingtonVA published a framework in response to our community demands to get #ICEoutofArlington. They also posted a feedback form that’s ONLY IN ENGLISH. Now, the framework they posted (which was also in english) isn’t even available online. We’re calling for…

Worth a pause and think: when are semantic debates like this meaningful, and when are they whistling in the dark? Or worse? Thanks for setting the trap @vcastillo630 😉

Hey @TwitterDesign - I love what you've done with the place! Just curious: is there a reason why I can't 📌 pin more than 5 of my Lists to my Home timeline, @TweetDeck-style? Is there a beta I could join that plays with this?

I feel this tension: putting "the love" (artistic sensibility, humanity) into a product can conflict with a culture of #ContinuousDelivery. One high-value challenge for #ProductDesign #leadership is to find digestible ways to defend the necessary time (e.g. hackathons, 20% time).

Working on a solo project, it's so refreshing to be able to just decide that some "tiny UX detail" really matters, and to spend unreasonable effort on it Often hard to justify this kind of decision on a team, even a high-functioning one where people understand design

The most thoughtful designs don’t get used if engineering doesn't build them. The most sophisticated algorithms don’t help people if they can't be put into a clear product. The tightest roadmap doesn’t get you customers if the experience isn’t good, or you can't sell it. (3/9)
