Ep. 6. Good UX writing is boring, with Ryan Farrell

We spend so much time and effort thinking about UX writing that’s
“delightful” we often miss the point: form over function. Good UX
writing should be…pretty boring, actually.


That’s what i discuss in today’s episode with Ryan Farrell. Ryan
is a content strategist at GoodRx, but you might very well know
him as the creator of the Daily UX Writing Challenge. As of the
time this episode went live, the free course had over 2200
students. That’s crazy. Crazy good.


In today’s episode, we talk about the newsletter, why Ryan
created it, the skills we think are underrated in the UX writing
community, and whether Neil Armstrong should have been told “good
job” by his onboard computer when landing on the moon.


Stuff we mentioned:
