"I have taste and you don't" is a great way to never get anybody to agree with you. So is "your solution is not the way I would have done it."

The only way to get off doing 12-hour shifts at the feature factory is to defy its logic.

By justifying decisions on the basis of taste, designers are throwing away the influence they need for preventing low-value feature bloat

I'm looking for a new design role!

My work friends (I’d like to believe) would say I’m helpful and smart. That I care about the people using what I design. Plus, I’m good at troubleshooting tricky group dynamics. To summarize: I’m fun to work with!

If you know anyone looking for a senior/staff/principle product designer, tell them to check out my BRAND NEW website and send me a message.

Thanks a million ✊

www.danritz.comDesigner, Researcher, ManagerHello. I'm Daniel Ritzenthaler. Most people call me Dan or Ritz. A designer since 2002. Along the way I've explored several research and management roles.

#UXDesign is in disarray. The idea of design-for-use has been replaced with design-for-sales, and its incentives (make more features so that you have more shit to sell) don't align with user-centered work and #UserResearch.

In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.
