With information serving as a key to helping people grow and develop in UX, one would think all of the resources being provided would be helpful. It's anything but. Check out "Overcoming the Whirlwinds of UX Misinformation."

Just saw another one of those celebratory posts where an unqualified person was touting their new mentorship role with ADPList. ADPList does NOT follow their own rules.

Most requests for a UX portfolio are a "kiss of death" for more experienced practitioners.... reducing the hiring process to an aesthetic competition.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to be an expert.... in UX/UI design. It doesn't exist. You're either a UXer or you're not. And NOBODY is a UXer just because they say so.

And another one bites the dust. As many of us frequently say, tools will always come and go. Tools ARE NOT UX.... they're just tools.

Quick UX Research Tip
Secondary qualitative research is worth it's weight in gold. Companies like Baymard, Forrester, and NN/g have conducted a ton of qualitative research on a wealth of subjects. They can be costly, but are cheaper and faster than the alternatives.

Should you learn by teaching others?
Some people encourage others to “learn by teaching”.... but this is EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL as it makes your “learners” out to be guinea pigs.

For the record, many of the people claiming to be "confused" about UX.... are also the same people who don't invest time in learning UX fundamentals (e.g., usability, heuristics, information architecture, interaction design principles, etc.).
