This is my talk about dark UI design. I originally gave it in Los Angeles for World Usability Day 2018, where the theme was "Dark UX." I was invited to share the talk again in 2019, this time at the World Usability Congress in Graz, Austria. In the talk, I explore the sci-fi origins of Dark UI (and the bias inherent in it), where dark UI works, and what the major usability pitfalls are.]]>

But if designers want a seat at the table, we need to educate ourselves about business strategy.

Life's too short for bad software. That’s what agile is for, right? Well. Running an agile delivery process does not guarantee success. Agile values and principles are simple enough to understand, yet we all struggle to take the theory into practice. I think agile has lost its way. The 12 signatories published the agile manifesto in 2001, their highest priority was to satisfy the customer. It doesn’t say anything about velocity. It doesn’t say anything about shipping a lot of features. The only measure of success is the delivery of _valuable_ software. Many people talk about Outcomes over Outputs. But underlying that is the issue of Delivery vs Discovery. How might we better incorporate continuous discovery into our agile delivery workflows? That's where Experiment Driven Design shines.]]>
