Stephanie Beatriz, Olga Merediz, Encanto Cast - The Family Madrigal (From "Encanto")[^]
It's a bit difficult to pick a SOTW this week since I've been listening to multiple albums and songs quite a lot.
However, this song from Encanto seemed appropriate as it won a Golden Globe for the best original score (and best animated feature film).
A complete coincidence as I didn't even know there were Golden Globes, let alone that Encanto was nominated, but I got Disney+ two weeks ago and this was the first movie I watched.
As in most Disney movies, there's plenty of singing and dancing in this movie and the songs were particularly good.
The movie takes place in Colombia, which you also hear in the music.
I don't want to spoil anything, so this song is the movie's opening song, which is about the magical powers of the family Madrigal.
The main character is voiced by Stephanie Beatriz (who was born in Argentina), you may know her from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Great movie, great soundtrack

I was a bit dismissive about that movie, I didn't even bother watching the trailer.
I shouldn't've been so hasty. I'm going to put that one forward for our Saturday family movie night tomorrow.

charming, likeable, colorful ... something to take a break and listen/see for a while when project obligations strike without mercy  Great choice ...

What should be done first? is it User Story or UI-Wireframes?
|
|
|
|
|
User Story, otherwise you're wireframing what you think is the best UI for the job.

Theoretically, you don't even know that/what you should wireframe without the user story
|
|
|
|
|
In my experience, garnered over almost 5 decades, most users don't really know what they want, until they see something you have put together, based on the skimpiest of requests.
It has always been a collaborative effort between me and the user.

That is absolutely true, especially if introducing something new in the company process or technology base. No user was capable of telling what they wanted from a x-ray inspection machine software until they saw one and found the criticalities, then saw others and saw what they preferred of each one.
Usually though asking what is the current process for doing something helps a lot, and it's not only for user products: even when writing libraries or drivers (in embedded systems) knwoing what is the process used by the end user helps tailoring the exposed interface and workflow.

Even then, 99% of the time all they know is that we did it wrong, and can't articulate how to make it do what they actually want. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The wireframe should be completed first as this is what the client/business team wants the UI to look like overall. Then I would create a new user story and attach the wireframe to the new user story, making sure to add ALL additional requirements. I prefer the business team create the wireframe, and not the developer.
If the developer is creating the wireframe for the client/business team, then I would create the user story first, so you have something to work to and add the wireframe to the user story. Once the user story is done, then mark the user story as ready for development, and move it out of the backlog to an appropriate sprint cycle.
Our shop has to bill all development time to either a user story or bug ticket.
We use MS DevOps for all our development builds, managements, source control.

Take charge, and write the entire program without any "end user" input, release it, and tell them that's what they get whether they like it or not.
Oh wait... this isn't the 80's...

IMHO, the real requirements flow in only after Version 1 is released.

Start with the updated icon. That seems to be the latest trend.

Both at the same time; according to JAD.

The stake holders have no interest in participating in meetings until the day before release. At that point, they feel like they can tell you everything you did wrong.

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.
