@adamsilverhq Adam, every single week I have the same issues, I honestly despair. I had a FE developer dreading that he had to do CSS the other week 🤦‍♂️

The most difficult choice I’ve made in my career (transitioning from frontend development to UI/UX)... When I was 30, I decided to stop being a frontend developer. I had worked through: 1. Table layouts and spacer gifs. 2. CSS float layout and ‘sliding doors’. 3. Progressive enhancement with JavaScript/AJAX. 4. Single page applications (SPA) and client-side MVC. SPAs weren’t going away... ...no matter how loud I shouted about the pitfalls (more on that below). Frontend development was being done by full stack engineers who lacked the skill to do it. And accessibility remained at the back of people’s minds. Why write a lot of complex code with React that would be 10x better with some HTML and a sprinkle of JavaScript? ‘Money’ was my only answer. Everything else was a negative. SPAs degrade UX. SPAs degrade accessibility. SPAs are harder to builder. Could I help devs stop using SPAs and create good UX by becoming a UI/UX designer? I hoped so. I thought that if I marry my technical experience to design simple and accessible products, developers would see that SPAs are a poor choice. I’ve lost some battles. But I’ve won some too. Have you had similar experiences or thoughts?

@adambsilver Hey, long time Ad 😃

@Degenerate Yep, totally! (Hi Ad)

Search UX question If searching for something returns 1 result, should the user: a) be taken directly there b) be taken to the results page with 1 item in the list c) something else Which would you go for and why?

@Danacea <waving> rarely here though, dip my toes in occasionally

...and I've absolutely had enough of all of it. So - #tea, cats, gaming, writing, sunshine. Please do wave if you actually <do> see my tweets, because it's nice to know you're still out there :)

Seem to be much quieter on the Twitters, partially because of the visibility thing (much harder to see my friends and to talk to them) and partially because, at the start of this year, I made a decision to give up ranting about politics.

@garethlpowell It’s been ages since I’ve read gateway. Currently reading the 2nd Expanse book Caliban’s War from James S A Corey. Now that I’ve watched it all, I’m curious as to home much was cut for the small screen

@GolfDigest Looks like a par 80 for the general populace from those tees 🤣

@ghostfinder So what I mean is that the algorithm has changed so much that you don’t even know if those impressions are to your followers or just random folk who may or may not have any interest in what you say. So interactions are unknowable. It’s pot luck if I see anyone I follow in my feed

@ghostfinder What doesn’t help is that M**k has killed all third party Twitter apps, you can’t use tweetdeck or Echofon or the like anymore. Those apps would have let you look at the feed in chronological order, even in your lists. Also when using the app, you have to interact first to like

@michelrouxjr It’s not how it looks, it’s how it tastes and if you can’t spread the cream on the jam to get an even flavour bite, then you need to put the jam on the cream 😬

Jam first every time 😋 #thegreatdebate
