The internet made us numb to numbers. You get 100 likes and think it’s small — but have you ever stood in a room with 100 people staring at you? Even a silverback gorilla would feel the pressure. That’s not “a little.” That’s a lot. https://media.tenor.com/ByBqTlrlJxEAAAAC/coffee-good

Welp. Last night included an ER visit for our almost-3-year-old after she fell backwards out of a chair while refusing veggies at dinner.... She's OK. Three staples in her head, but in good spirits. (Yikes...) Question for the group: For folks who have experienced kid head injuries that needed staples, have you still taken kids in the pool, ocean, etc.? What was recovery like? We are supposed to take a family trip next week and just trying to figure out what modifications we might need to do.

Wrapping up this week's mini-series, "Building WITH the Public" with one final case study This spring, I partnered with Tech Kids Unlimited, a NYC based nonprofit that works with neurodiverse young adults, to help test the viability of the AI-generated outputs from my learning app, MuseKat I ended up receiving a ton of real feedback from students ranging from 16-22, which I eventually codified into creating a more automated "evals agent" This is the final example of 4 student-led activations I ran all spring. It's been really fun to have design partners at this early stage. Hope this mini-series inspires a few more creative approaching to building alongside your users too! https://hardmodefirst.xyz/building-with-the-public-breaking-my-own-app-with-neurodiverse-student-interns

It’s that time of year when it’s just easier to stay home all summer vs find a person who can water all 100 of my plants while I’m away lol

In-home user testing is pretty great “Mom, why is Miko orange?” “Because it’s my favorite color.” “But meerkats are yellow!” “You’ll have to build your own then.” 😜

I was able to code this by myself in 1-2 weeks (with debugging and some UI improvements) art-claps.vercel.app Claude told me in 2022 it would have cost 300k dollars and a team of senior devs/engineers over 6 months to complete 😆 😆
