been playtesting Downpour with people, and making sure to do it on their phones, not mine (for a bunch of reasons). and one thing I've been noticing, testing with women on iOS, is that I need to adjust my breakpoints for small phone sizes. feels like this is a systemic thing???Permalink Look on archive.org

like, what are the impacts of the average hand size of UX designers being larger than the average hand size of their users?Permalink Look on archive.org

@LilCrowther oddly, I'd assume the effect would be the opposite - I find with my layouts, the size of the elements stays the same, I just have to cram it in tighter on smaller phones. there's also the issue of people designing phone apps on a computer, where the accuracy is higher.Permalink Look on archive.org

I'm obviously especially interested in this article because it's my former employer. But I also think outside of that, it's interesting to read this & think about the role of the ERG & the DEI chief in this story. theverge.com/2023/7/7/23787809/niantic-lawsuit-systemic-sexual-bias-pay-disparityPermalink Look on archive.org
-
the ERG did advocate against management decisions, even when it was uncomfortable. but involvement in the ERG was also brought up as a reason for retaliation. and ultimately the things the ERG could do were constrained by management.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
I mean, my take away, unsurprisingly, is that ERGs are what an employer wants you to have instead of a union, and these messy half steps are exactly why. That's the structural incentive, although obviously there's a lot of people with good intentions clouding up the issue.Permalink Look on archive.org

coders worry about whether the game will run, artists worry about whether it'll look like shit, designers worry about whether it'll make sense, and producers worry about whether it'll actually ship @innesmck/1683376006843752448Permalink Look on archive.org

@innesmck I don't get the producer hate, but this might be because I've worked on small teams without a producer and had to wear that hat a bit on top of also doing p much all the programming & design. and in that situation, I very much wanted a producer on the team.Permalink Look on archive.org

the stupid rebrand is stupid but also kind of funny, in the way a lot of the other destructive ego driven changes are. but ultimately, running Twitter means you have a duty of care, and if you're not going to take that at least a bit seriously, then the site should close.Permalink Look on archive.org
