ARTICLES 🗞

Zuck VS Musk please no more fighting

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you sure have seen Musk & Zuckerberg’s fight. This article discusses the combative mentality in the business world and how this impacts our society. While competition can raise progress, it can also pervade the work environment and society at large. Geli Skandalis emphasizes the idea that true collaboration should extend beyond the walls of individual enterprises and that businesses should not solely focus on winning against their competition.

The problem with the everything for everyone approach

Twitter’s last rebranding apparently comes from Musk’s will to push Twitter as a new “everything-app”, killing the bird to create space for something new that can expand the platform into the financial services realm among else, willing to add “comprehensive communications and the ability to conduct your entire financial world” in the coming months. In this article Viggy Balagopalakrishnan raises the problem with the everything for everyone approach when building a product.

How accessibility shapes digital product design

While businesses seem to have a life on their own, designers should always raise their voice - as product specialists - when building a product. Accessibility is always at core, whether for direct use or even to build a general relationship to your product, there are constraints that can be beneficial in your business decisions. Norbert Pap builds a bridge between business and design in this article about accessibility as a fundamental human right.
