In this episode of a very attractive title, Helena is joining me in discussing the <a href="https://uxtools.co/survey-2021/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UX tools survey</a> for 2021. We talk about the state of the tools, give our opinions on whether we agree or if there is something surprising, and as announced - we passively aggressively bash on (almost) everything.
