I think I’m a target customer? I don’t think this is rev for me but I think in the future I could be sold. I own an a7c because I value compactness. I was just in New Zealand and a lot of times I was pretty happy to take photos on my phone. As my purpose was to just be able to take an image in my head and translate that to an actual photo. There are definitely some shots that I needed a bit more technical setup which was great with the a7c but I really didn’t need nearly so many of the bells and whistles. I also don’t really want to have to edit in RAW, ideally I get a good enough image that I can just transfer to my phone and post straight to Instagram with little work.

Sounds like you want a Fuji.

Sony and “I don’t want to have edit RAW” don’t mix. Compactness and straight to Insta is more of a Fuji workflow.

Have you considered a fuji? The film simulations make for great SOOC shots without the need for editing.

do you want interchangeable lenses and a full frame sensor as well?

I think both phone call and Zoom call are worse than an automated email because 1) I have to find the time to be available for both and 2) More often than not I want to process in private.

A short, but still personalized email would be my preference. An offer to do a phone call or Zoom would also be humanizing but not necessary.

The endless debates wear me out. Sometimes I just want the engineers to just do. It's labor for me to tell someone their idea is bad, both mentally and emotionally. At the beginning of the relationship, you have to engage in that labor to get people to trust you. But if it continues to break down, I try to figure out why and it's usually because another designer/PM were flippant in their choices.

I wonder why your engineers are endlessly sharing bad ideas, I haven’t run into that

About three years ago I joined a company that was on Sketch after working at a Figma company. I thought I was pretty tool agnostic but after starting work, I quickly realized how awful the Sketch workflow is.

It's awful collaborating and sharing files with Abstract. More and more plugins were unmaintained. And with the growth of WebGL, Figma was actually far speedier than Sketch. Sure if you're 1-2 person shop or a really big company with lots of specialized Sketch plugins, Sketch might be fine but on any other team are better off making the switch.

I completely agree with the above poster that Invision was trash at any real prototyping. When it came out, Axure and Justinmind had already had sophisticated control flow logic. It did have a sleeker commenting system and most people I knew were too lazy to make more robust prototypes.

Invision was free and simple to use by non-full-time designers.

Wait, I thought an original was already digitized: http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/chkwks/index.html

Thanks a lot for the link!

This book is absolutely the best: http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/rndwar/index.html

Thank you, I this is precisely what i came to the comments for.

The only thing that's tough about this approach is you work hard at physical therapy but still you end up being the percentage that still needs surgery. Then once you get surgery you have to start all over again. I delayed ACLR personally because of a multi ligament tear and the toughest part was the burnout of starting back up again after surgery.

I graduated from a HCI program and the problem I continue to see is we turn to UXR in all situations of indecisiveness and not necessarily when it makes sense. UXR is best applied to situations when you have little room to be wrong. It also matters what you are trying to research, not everything lends itself to being researched. In Silicon Valley these past years, companies could be afford to be wrong all the time, whether it was because of overall usefulness or the fact they could afford to throw developer resources.

I went to Roland Garros and this is how they did it. You also were allowed to return the ticket to the pool and the event resold it at face value.
