@AdityaSur11 The general idea is awesome. I would tune this and make it more smooth. Maybe faster.

@DannPetty @figma Hopefully that doesn't really happen to anyone? There's nothing better or easier than Auto Layout. With groups, I'm constantly annoyed that I have to position the elements manually.

@figma This is literally my brain on every project: I’m gonna auto layout it all! Wait…this is hard but cool but hard. Just group it I have to finish this by EOD.

Absolutely not. I'm German. What we don't need is more working hours; we need to become innovative again. But that's how it is: when things are going well, you tend to be afraid of losing what you have and don't take any risks.That's how it was all those years. But I'm still so happy to live here. The potential is still there, and we just need to strike out in a new direction. We need more leadership. More vision. A little more of what Kohl used to offer in the past.

@BrettFromDJ You deleted a tweet an hour ago about the same video that "Twitter" was discussing. Your tweet was like this: "The fastest way to eliminate a profession is to first short change it, and then redefine it." ... and now you're making fun of others. Why?!

You're an absolutely great designer and I could never be as creative as you are with websites and landing pages. I mean that sincerely. But from this perspective, I doubt you've ever had to work long-term within big established company structures on real products that have been running for 10+ years with many existing processes to evolve. So it's good that everyone has their focus and love to work on it.

@timhrtmann I'm just glad that we established where over-engineering the design process leads us.

There’s an unspoken truth in design that almost no one wants to admit: A huge part of the job is just making things look good. That’s it. That's the core. But somewhere along the way, we became afraid to say that out loud. So we built an entire layer of performance around design (frameworks, titles, systems, etc). When a client asks me, "Why did you do it this way?" my honest answer is usually, "Because it looks good." Because it feels right. Because it creates the experience I wanted. But in today's design community, that answer would come across as irresponsible and unprofessional. We're expected to be able to defend every pixel like they were the result of years of academic research, when in reality it was simply the result of taste. But taste is too subjective, too illusive, too unmeasurable to package up so we wrap intuition in paragraphs of theory and call it a case study. This is why I rarely talk about “design” as a discipline. The moment you try to intellectualize it, you lose the thing that actually matters. Design isn’t complicated. People complicate it to defend their importance.

You’re referring to a project from eight years ago. I was 24 at the time, and my perspective back then was that I was just supposed to deliver screens — nothing more. Still, a lot of people were involved in the discussions and pushed their own interests, which is why the result looks the way it does. So yes, @BrettFromDJ: I work completely differently today. I would challenge more, ask more questions, and defend and explain my decisions much better.

@timhrtmann Is this the result of asking a lot of questions, gathering requirements, overcoming technical complexities, consulting versus delivering screens? If so, you aren't making a good case for it.

The longer you’re in the game, the less often new tools make it into your workflow. You check them out, evaluate quickly, but then you stick with what works. Not out of stubbornness, but because you’ve learned that results matter, not the toolbox.

@dnaijatechguy It’s not based on a day per week, more a phase like one or two weeks where it’s hard to find ideas and focus

I think every designer has a day of the week when they’re not in the creative zone mentally. No matter what they do . What day of the week is that for you? 😅

@marcelkargul … and all the work until this screen. A lot of discussions about company restrictions, understanding the needs, and consulting which ideas we shouldn’t follow

Good UI isn’t dribbble shots. It’s removing 90% of the crap that shouldn’t have been there in the first place, and it doesn't always look fancy.

@disarto_max It depends. The right one looks like for advanced, more technical interested cyclists. Left one looks more for casual cyclists like commuting to work. What’s your purpose?
