I’ve been watching some 90s movies lately: The Fugitive, Se7en, The American President. That period of movie making is really nostalgic for me.

@adamguild Right decision. Good for you for not wasting any more of the guy’s time. It makes no sense to my why anyone would say anything like that in an interview.

@WolfgangBremer A UI is just an aspect of the entire UX.

@jschwabish I would. Otherwise it looks suspicious.

Say you have a scatterplot and you decide that the correct range of the horizontal axis is 0%-50%. You also decide the vertical axis range would work as 10%-40%. Do you leave the minimum of the vertical axis at 0% so as to be consistent and not potentially confuse readers?

@scotthmurray …it's just so awesome. And helpful. And useful. And thoughtful about the way people think and work and learn.

@storywithdata Every instance that comes to mind involves removing something. Decluttering is my go-to design last step.

What is an improvement you've made to a graph where you thought to yourself: "Wow, that was simple—and it's so much better now!"?

@conniechiiiwa "If you hate the world, you need to eat. If you think the world hates you, you need to sleep." Man, I wish someone had told me that in junior high school.

@conniechiiiwa Last year I went 8 months without one. It got long enough to put in a ponytail holder. I took a picture and posted it on Facebook. The reaction I got was enough to motivate me to go get a haircut. …my mom really didn't have to be so mean.
