Comment on Ask HN: Do you study for your job?

Comments

If not "study," I'd strongly suggest doing regular "homework" for your work.

For instance, unlike in the early days and well into the 2010s, most mobile UI and UX are solved. You know how users use apps and how they want something to respond to. However, I still find many people in tech, even after "years of experience," always think about their company, their app, and how specific actions of the users impact them. I usually ask them, "What about the customers and the users?". Remember that for most users, your app/website is just one of the many they use.

This simple example is easily resolved by doing regular homework—studying how others do things and how users use their apps.
