[IxDA Discuss] Where are all the designers?

[Cindy Alvarez]

WOW.  I missed Dave's original comment and all I can say is, wow.  I'm
certainly glad that my early jobs didn't seek to "protect" me from learning
a lot, and quickly.

There are certainly some things I wouldn't throw at junior staff.
High-pressure client-facing meetings is one of them.
...Actually, I can't think of a lot more.   I've been very happy with the
ability that the smart people I've hired have shown to turn problems into
design solutions, and if that means reading a bunch of books or learning a
new software tool or skill to have the framework to come up with that
solution, that's what they do.

approach is just "mean" IMHO and as human centered empathetic
people, you'd think we would want to treat all aspects of our human
capital with the same respect we give to our end-users, no?
