In my day-to-day work, I have long advocated for the various trades to move closer together. The teams need to work hand in hand, understand the challenges faced by the other trades, and collaborate on the product.

This is the case when engineers and UX experts work in separate teams or when UX has been completely neglected.

The philosophical giant Jürgen Habermas has left us.
Habermas spent decades championing the "theory of communicative action" - the idea that democracy only functions when we actually listen to one another. Without his guiding voice, we face a chilling reality: a world where the loudest lies often drown out the most reasoned truths.

You hate Tesla obviously not for the door handles.

I agree with most of what you contribute to the Fediverse, except for this one point. I drive a Model 3 myself, and the door handles are truly intuitive to use. They're almost as easy to operate as any other door handle.
I doubt there's any reliable data to support the claim that many people are putting themselves in danger because of the door handles.

I'm disappointed with the latest Google Photos update, I really have to say. 😞
Not only does the new collection view not bring much new useful functionality, but my own albums are now mixed in with friends' albums. I know I can filter by my own albums, but what used to be one click away is now three clicks away and even has a less attractive list display.
How can one of the most useful apps ever be so ruined? 🤷‍♂️

Do you use some IP Geolocation API to retrieve the distance of your website's visitors?
