And deciding that I wasn’t going to talk about the features, performance testing, or scaling. I decided to talk about the people who did the work ♥️24 Sep 2025 18:41 +0000at://did:plc:23riyupaat4emhjcpembgzso/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzm3nkwpdc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/elizalawson.bsky.social/post/3lvnerpokck2yWhat platforms are folk using to build, iterate and most importantly share their roadmaps?

Annual leave means low team capacity, no capacity senior leadership team, end of sprint, integration challenges, discovery timescales, a new delivery plan, security and scalability testing… What are yours? 🫣03 Aug 2025 18:13 +0000at://did:plc:23riyupaat4emhjcpembgzso/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvjbu7jznc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/elizalawson.bsky.social/post/3lvbp5epjus2bSitting in an interview today, a new user researcher to join the team. I’m there to provide context and answer questions about the project. ‘Standard questions’ were provided. Not a single one about experience in accessibility. Nothing about how would they recruit AT users. Nothing.

It’s so damn hard for young people. And so expensive! £600-£700pm for a bedroom in a shared house, with 6 others. In Newcastle.
