My emotional balance has been precarious recently. I’m mostly okay, if only a resigned kind of okay, but then there are the moments where I’ll feel a sudden tightness in my chest, a shallowness of breath, angry warm tears welling up.

前陣子和友人出來吃飯聊天。我們是三年前在一個共享空間裡認識的。那時他搞了個產品,搞了一陣子,他認為做不下去,然後和一位合伙做了另一家公司幫客戶做市場推廣的專項,其後其中一名客戶就幹脆聘了他進公司的電子市場部內。
I have a love-hate relationship with email. On the one hand, it has transformed the way I worked — even lived — over the last 20 years, and on the other, it is a crushing onslaught of things you (mostly) didn’t want to read about.
It’s a question that I get asked almost every time I tell people what I do for a living; so what exactly is UX design?

I am a community moderator on one of the Stack Exchange sites. The guidance we get from Stack Exchange on sexism and just plain not being nice is one of zero tolerance. I have had to suspend accounts for people who were high reputation and highly respected for such infractions so we don’t treat people any different in these regards. The rules are the…

Hi there! Marc here. It’s refreshing to see a lot of new faces in the meetup!
Good question! I should’ve articulated this during the talk: there is no such thing as a bad question. So I would’ve been fine with you asking me this during the talk (or right after it). But I’m also an introvert, so I understand the feeling of…
Using phonemes to discern the meaning of a written word makes sense in english where written words are just standins for the spoken words. Letters mean nothing by themselves.
In mandarin, the characters can all be broken down into discrete units of meaning, so it makes far more sense to start with morphemes found within the…

Yeah acting on something small is a great idea. This at least shows that willing to accept feedback and take action on at least a small level, if you aren’t able to change the big stuff

Wow…..now that. Is incredible! I am so glad you shared this part of. Yourself with Us! I feel you and i are sort of kindred spirits….and you captured the emotion perfectly with your word choices! It is a strange thing to realize our true inner self….often it can be saddening as well…..
A point that gets lost in the marketing fog is whether we are going after customers or people who can send us customers. Intuit found that small business owners didn’t care what package they used. They typically spend 0 minutes on this issue because they trust their accountant to choose the right tool.
This is great! I never understood technology advancements until now. Technology solves the basic needs not the needs of the future & In the near future many will be out of jobs. Honestly, You can’t make a stable living in the bay area unless you have a tech job. PERIOD. Does that mean you should spend years in college and major in CS or programming…

It’s there a platform where one can present one’s idea(s), get considered feedback, build that feedback into the idea, and get ‘community’ help breaking the idea(s) down into minimum viable products, and get community support (or rejection)?
If no such platform exists, will someone please build one? Thanks.
Is it just me or does this make it seem like success belies happiness? If embracing inadequacy brings success, it’s likely that success will seem unfamiliar and unwelcome.
“Embrace inadequacy” seems like a shallow conclusion. Challenge yourself and don’t become too complacent, sure. But don’t forget to accept yourself now so that when you do make it, you can see it and reap the benefits.
Very well with words, Jeremiah. Seems as if the SV tech culture is a dying breed. I for one, love Atlanta and hope that our culture influences and injects its own hospitality and humility into the DNA of what’s next to come.
