Sometimes I feel that project managers forget that the true drivers of many team members is to create real value for real people, not to finish the project on time/budget or without knowing if it makes a difference. Likewise, team members forget the expectations put on the PM.

@gustavgatu It's more a list. But I'll put it in a blog post :)
So so so many books to read now 😬

@jennytheolin Well, @berkun is writing one but he also has some of the best insights into what exists.

If you’re not following and reading everything by @carissaveliz you’re missing out.

@carissaveliz Honestly, I’m now reading your Nature article and it’s like you’re writing what I’m thinking. Just much more gracefully 😊. I’m doing a talk on medical ethics and design for digital in Copenhagen next year, loosely based on what I wrote in July:

@carissaveliz And now I’m going to read all the books mentioned in your Aeon article.
”Part of what it means to be close to someone is sharing what makes you vulnerable, giving them the power to hurt you, and trusting that person never to take advantage of the privileged position granted by intimacy.”

”A small piece of regulation, a bit of resistance from citizens, a few businesses starting to offer privacy as a competitive advantage, and it can all evaporate.” – @carissaveliz
This article is poetry.
There was a significant milestone in October. Trump sent more than 1,000 tweets in a single month. At 2 minutes per tweet that’s more than 33 hours of tweeting. Or more than 4 work days.

@DorotheaBaur I ’m pretty sure you knew the answer ;)
@DorotheaBaur Related: I once worked on a health dashboard service here in Sweden and some stats for certain towns weren’t allowed to be displayed because a person could too easily be identified merely by diagnosis and town of residence (especially where population numbers are low).

@DorotheaBaur Hard no from me. 🤨

@krmaher @MostafaGhadrian I wonder what totally flipped his position in such a short time frame. 🧐
Haha. This is basically the example I had in my 2016 ethics talk at #UXLx (and at #uxopen the year before). Which really strengthens my point that mistakes like this are profitable and fixing the GUI is not a priority. x.com/baekdal/status…

@chrisnoessel I think this tweet got detached from the thread? Very much enjoying the thought process as well. Thanks. 😊

Sooner or later your e-mail and password (on one of your 100+ online accounts) is part of a data breach. Mine were recently again. But if you make sure to have unique passwords for each and every service you use, you can more easily stay calm.

My e-mail address was found in yet another data breach recently. This time on a site named ToonDo. I'm not overly concerned about this since that site does not contain critical data about me, but more importantly: I do not use the same password anywhere else. I only have to change it there.
Still, I talk to people almost daily who use the same password on multiple websites. Taking the time to move away from this practice appears overwhelming for many people.
I wrote this post a couple of years back to help with this. If you're struggling with password management, maybe you can schedule time in your calendar, over a weekend or at least over the holidays, to think more about how you want to handle your passwords?
If you are an employer or manage a team, then do set aside time to go through these issues in a controlled setting. Not after the breach happens.
