Niantic should really adopt user research and usability testing. This just seems like edicts handed down from on-high with the expectation that it will somehow improve gameplay.

I would argue a salary cap could work in that it would make sponsoring a team more likely to result in a win therefore bringing in more sponsors.

Like golf!

Also why designer pay and demand is skyrocketing. Those of us who know what we’re doing know how to utilize research, usability testing, and hypothesis experiments to tease out the user’s actual needs and how to meet them while creating business outcomes.

One of the biggest responsibilities as a designer is understanding that the user doesn’t always know what they need or want. Doing exactly what the user tells you doesn’t lead to a good product. However listening to, researching, and observing a user can surface insights the end user wasn’t even aware of.

Everyone on this list deserves contempt...except for the end user. Everyone else failed at their job somehow.

Agreed. I think contempt is definitely the wrong word, lol

As a product designer I’d love to hear of a situation where an end user deserves contempt because I've never seen one. No matter how frustrated I may be I'm designing for the end user, they owe me nothing and are under no obligation to use the product as I think they should.

Remote mounting a turbo would result in some serious turbo lag.

The south is strong in this one

Land Rover costs less in maintenance than Ford?!!

Literally this afternoon I got an uber with surge pricing and 15% left on my battery. Driver picks me up and says, “glad you called me, there’s not that many fares here right now.”

Don’t forget to consider the potential value of the object you MIGHT sell vs. how much your time is worth to you. I’m sure selling empty toilet paper rolls was a fucking boon for whoever invested time into that.

Though true I found enough cases of them detonating even when wear hadn't shown during the last 15k inspection. Loved that car but the threat of the follower detonating while out of warranty, modded or not, wasn't worth the risk. For others it's a worthwhile risk.

Had a 2012 golf r. Was about to mod it till I learned about cam followers and how suicidal they are. No thanks.

Because the golf r is at the same price range as the focus RS. An r400 would be significantly more than $40k.

FCA doesn’t even want to wholly own FCA.

You just reached hero status in my book.
