UX REACTIONS

When a shitty dev makes an announcement about leaving the company:

When my design makes it through usability with a perfect rating:

When HCI students ask me for advice on being a UX professional:

When opening my source file causes someone’s machine to crash:

When I catch a glimpse of the v.1 files for my current project:

When I’m in a meeting and clearly don’t care about what’s happening:

When I go to a meetup by myself:

When someone starts mumbling under their breath during your presentation:

When I design with perfectly-fitting Lorem Ipsum, but I know the real content won’t fit:

When the PM starts every UX story with "As a UX designer,":

When my prototype stops working during a meeting with the Chief Executive:

Trying to fit UX into the Agile process:

When a UX job description requires experience with Python and Java:

When I see two scrum teams squaring off over bug fix responsibilities:

When everyone loves the design that you stole from someone else:

When you’re on your way to the client and realize you didn’t upload the prototype:

When a recruiter contacts me with a “funny” email:

When a developer ignores the spec:

When someone asks what UX Generalist means:

When the product owner asks which styling bugs have to be fixed before they can launch:

The one time the execs sided with UX over marketing:

When a developer tries to whiteboard a UI solution:

When an executive needs volunteers for their pet project:

Agile training. Again.
