from Cory Doctorw's new book, "Eastern Standard Tribe"
"I'm a user-experience consultant. My coworkers are all paranoid about a deadline."
She rolled her eyes. "Not another one. God. Look, we go out for dinner, don't say a word about the kerb design or the waiter or the menu or the presentation, OK? OK? I'm serious."
Art solemnly crossed his heart. "Who else do you know in the biz?"
"My ex. He wouldn't or couldn’t shut up about how much everything sucked. He was right, but so what? I wanted to enjoy it, suckitude and all."
Ok, Cory's got one of the major diseases of my field down pat. But I don't actually agree with Cory's belief that user experience people are on the verge of making large quantities of money...
