Yeah, I’ve been noticing the same. But let’s be honest, most people don’t really get to choose their relationship with tech. The whole analog tech and minimal phone thing sounds nice, but it’s still a luxury. You need a certain level of stability to even consider disengaging. So while I’m hopeful and happy to see those small changes, I’m also skeptical. Real change won’t happen until it stops being a lifestyle choice and becomes a bigger shift (or its part).

No one is saying that structure or boundaries aren’t important. Of course they are. But what is being challenged here is the assumption that a meltdown = misbehavior. Sometimes it is. But often what looks like “acting out” is actually communication. Discomfort, overstimulation, unmet needs, not manipulation.

Teaching kids discipline without empathy doesn't create resilience. It creates shame, masking, and fear of expressing emotions. And yeah, being on time matters. But so does understanding why the kid is melting down in the first place, especially if it’s a recurring thing. Otherwise, you’re just dragging a panicked, overwhelmed human out the door like a bag of potatoes and calling it a parenting win.

I get that he didn’t say that here, but I’ve seen other replies leaning toward the idea that “it’s easy if you just try hard enough” and that’s what I was addressing, too.

I think you're oversimplifying ADHD and its impact. It's not just a matter of using tools or strategies. ADHD exists on a spectrum, and it's often comorbid with other conditions like anxiety, autism, or depression. What works for one person might completely fail for another, especially if their challenges are layered or more severe.

Also, saying “regardless of diagnosis” is invalidating the real need for accommodations. People with ADHD often require not just personal effort, but systemic support, whether that’s in school, work, or healthcare.

Did this person ask for the advice? Also, treating children without empathy, like objects, is not the solution to the problem.

Yes, we should be cautious about tools shaping the way we think. But I’d argue that blaming Figma for narrowing the design process is like blaming Photoshop for bad photo editing. It's not the tool, it's how we use it.

Hi, I’m Karolina. I design things people actually want to click – not because they’re nudged or tricked, but because they feel seen and understood.

I’ve worked across tech, travel, and e-commerce blending UX design, content strategy, and community building to shape digital experiences that are clear, inclusive, and human.

I'm currently open to new collaborations. That said, if you're building something useful, and ethical – I’d love to chat.

In the meantime, I’m also building my own project around neurodiversity and ethical tech, and documenting the process in my portfolio – https://linktr.ee/karohalik_designer. Feel free to follow along or say hi!

Hi, I’m Karolina. I design things that people actually want to click — not because they’re tricked into it, but because they feel seen and understood.

For over a decade, I’ve worked across tech, travel, and e-commerce — blending UX design, content strategy, and community building to help teams create digital experiences that are clear, useful, and genuinely human.

Sometimes that means building a scalable content system. Sometimes it’s rewriting a single CTA that finally converts. It’s always about designing with care and intent.

I’m looking for my next collaboration — ideally something at the intersection of UX, content, and product areas. If you’re building something useful, ethical, and kind — even if it just loosely touches on my skills or interests — let’s talk.

It seems like one is stuck in the past for good (well, the author and the book I suppose).

It’s kind of ironic that Nielsen’s site and even his book layouts were often frustrating to use. But maybe that proves his own points.

Hi, I’m Karolina. I design stuff that makes people click – not because of dark patterns, but because they feel understood.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked across tech, travel, and e-commerce. My background blends content strategy, UX design, and ethical communication.

I help teams turn complex ideas into clear, useful, and human digital experiences. Sometimes that means shaping a content system; other times, it’s rewriting a CTA that actually converts.

I’m looking for my next collaboration – ideally something at the intersection of UX, content, community, and product areas. If you’re building something useful, ethical, and kind – even if it just loosely touches on my skills or interests – let’s talk.

Update: still no electricity, 4G/5G is barely working, city is more chaotic than usual but not that dramatic as some media say - there are huge queues to the buses and smaller shops that are still working, more people are outside.

There is still no electricity, at least in my neighborhood in Lisbon. Less noise, more human voices outside. Time to meet some more neighbors I guess.
