Mike Bulajewski@mrteacup·May 10, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr @eli_schiff small number of UX jobs in a world of rapidly proliferating screens? I'll take my chances :D11
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·May 10, 2015Replying to @mrteacup@mrteacup @eli_schiff That's what they said about PhDs in a world of increasing population heading to college :D2
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·May 10, 2015Replying to @vgr@mrteacup @eli_schiff I suspect bootstrap alone killed 1000s of UI/UX jobs before they were even born. As did good WP frameworks.11

Mike Bulajewski@mrteacup·May 10, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr @eli_schiff yes, tech like bootstrap creates a new baseline, but my job as a professional is unaffected11
Venkatesh Rao@vgrReplying to @mrteacup@mrteacup @eli_schiff appreciate your optimism :)7:09 PM · May 10, 2015
