We take a look at the future of performance reviews, the thinking behind root cause reasoning, and why certainty does not equal strategic clarity. This week, we also examine how leading companies break UX rules to differentiate themselves, the future of resumable code, and how to overcome Serverless Lock in. Plus, get a glimpse of what to expect at UXDX EMEA 2022, from understanding the product lifecycle of a song to looking at both continuous and circular design in aid of a better future.
