@disco_lu I see that you have two styles so the first two columns are Primary defaults and then the next two columns are the Secondary Defaults. So you are Primary & Secondary, Status & State Defaults

@disco_lu The horizontal is the State Default and the vertical is a Status Default

Napkin research📋 In your component library, what do you call the first / primary / default / resting / most common variant of a component?

@disco_lu Message Badge or Status Badge

@disco_lu 1. Numeric Stepper 2. If it is editable it is a Text Field Input otherwise it is simply a display of the stepper count 3. & 4. Buttons to increase/decrease stepper count IMHO, this is one of the most useless components when an ordinary Text Field Input will work.

Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday is name that component day 📣 Today's test is 4 (or is it?) components...what would you call them?

@nickjbasile @itspatmorgan I do this with flow diagrams and bulleted items next to the blocks that represent screens. I find this much easier to review with stakeholders than starting with wireframes. Then use the design system to go straight to hi-fi.

@itspatmorgan How do you think through flows? Like, does it emerge as you design, or do you think about it before? I feel like I need something, even just a bulleted list, of what the design needs to do before I hop into visual design.

I often go straight to visual design. Burn me 🔥

@aakashgupta @hpdailyrant PM and Design are two sides of the same coin. They should start together and can certainly collaboratively sketch. However, there are a ton of things for the PM to gather that would help that process, which do not involve sketching.

After publishing the post, I have been discussing this with many designers. So, a few clarifications: 1. I mean initial idea sketches for communication, not wireframes that anchor visual design 2. I made the grey text a bit too light, but this is for when designers are busy, new, or not in the discussions (feature factory) 3. The ideal is designers, who are the experts, are involved in discussions and resourced to lead this--as they have the competencies--and lead a process with the PM and tech lead

@theloudninja @hpdailyrant I care about PMs wireframing when they should be doing the things Ha mentions. If they have done all of that, then let's have a collaborative design session. And even then, this is best done as sketching / white-boarding, not wireframing.

@doctorow Doesn’t Amazon retail have to pay AWS for the services they use? They can pretty much bury all the retail profit into AWS fees.

For the pro-monopoly crowd that absolutely dominated antitrust law from the Carter administration until 2020, Amazon presents a genuinely puzzling paradox: the company's monopoly power was *never* supposed to emerge, and if it did, it should have crumbled immediately. 1/

@hpdailyrant This is great. So often it is a struggle to get teams to see the personas as a better way to refer to a “user”.
