#### Editor’s note
|
| |
|
Welcome to another new year. Any time is good for resolutions and refocusing. If the beginning of the year is your preferred time to do so, why not commit to improving speed and accessibility?
|
| |
|
|
Sometimes, relying on safe and well-established defaults is helpful. At other times, it results in poor user experiences, frustrations and annoyances. Instead of instinctively trusting best practices, we should be evaluating strategies based on their impact.
|
| |
|
|
Let’s be critical of our decision making.
