Faster Horses | A podcast about UI design, user experience, UX design, product and technology

In this episode, we debate whether designers should code. We find out that there are many different opinions about this topic – what should you be doing?

In the past few years, has coding become an essential skill in design? But with so many new technologies popping up every day, is it really necessary?

We also tackle the tricky UX Tombola machine to discuss the UX of a random object, place or service. What will it be – how will Mark Steeler sell this one?
All these questions, and even ones you didn't want to know, ANSWERED!
Plus the off-topic tangents you love.
