@SpotifyUK broken user journey (that doesn’t belong in this century) you might want to look at. Open app>Find audiobook you like>lock icon with no immediate way to resolve in app. Days later, I get this email:

@alittlebit As a: User I want to: Be able to select facets such as ‘in stock’ and ‘specific size’ for my search results, and apply filters, for them to have absolutely no effect whatsoever. So that: My blood pressure doesn’t drop dangerously low. I’m looking at you, @JohnLewisRetail

@eucriel As a: User I want to: Be presented with options in a drop down menu that are not in alphabetical order So that: I can spend a little extra time finding the right option to select.

@eucriel 😂

@alittlebit As an: Existing user who has forgotten their password, I want to: Have to re-enter the email address I just typed, at the forgot password prompt, So that: I can practice my typing, maybe improve my wpm.

@eucriel 😂

@alittlebit Also see... As a: new or existing user, I want to: struggle to discern between ‘sign in’ and ‘sign up’, So that: We get more pageviews.

@eucriel Love the "so that"

Great stuff. “I’m not a cat”. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…

@alittlebit @Hass_TGR Sweetened with the tears of Java developers.

@eucriel @Hass_TGR Want some sort of triple espresso laced coffee @Hass_TGR? My shout?

@eucriel arrrrggggghhhhhhhhnnnnn

@alittlebit @Hass_TGR You were always the civilised one. Yes.

@eucriel @Hass_TGR Yes. Yes I do. Shall we get a cuppa first?

@alittlebit @Hass_TGR Want to draw on a whiteboard and have a robust debate about it?

@eucriel @Hass_TGR I like icing and cake, I didn't like the reply. Nice to have the gang back again 😊

@brad_frost An alt to your analogy is a framework I’ve used for components for years: Core (same everywhere), Shared (patterns with contextually varying content/outcomes), and Specific (snowflakes). Interesting to arrive at the same place via different routes.

This is the first design system-related blog post I've written since May 2020. It feels great! But it's also a reminder of how much trauma I've endured over the last year.

@Hass_TGR @alittlebit The roboreply to OP here, was the icing on the cake.

@alittlebit @eucriel I almost threw my phone across the room in frustration just watching that.

@canary @javan Hey Canary... maybe have a human look at this exchange.

This shit is totally unacceptable, @canary. I’ve wasted enough time completing your dark pattern maze. Cancel my account.

@alittlebit Oh I’ve just seen the whole thread. Wow.

@eucriel Well quite.

@stephenbeck Any more detail on this, or is that a wrap?

I really despise responsive design.

@alittlebit Dont make me write a stern letter to the Telegraph, cc’ing my local MP.

@eucriel "I had to go Quilted and Cava dahling... absolutely frightful!"

I wondered why Tesco was so horrendously busy earlier.

@realDonaldTrump @TheBabylonBee Oh my sides.

Twitter Shuts Down Entire Network To Slow Spread Of Negative Biden News babylonbee.com/news/twitter-s… via @TheBabylonBee Wow, this has never been done in history. This includes his really bad interview last night. Why is Twitter doing this. Bringing more attention to Sleepy Joe & Big T

@alittlebit I feel personally attacked by this.

😂

@RailwayMuseum @Beyonce Can anyone play this game?

.@Beyonce, but make it rail. To celebrate Queen Bey's birthday, here's some of her most iconic looks as items in our collection. 🎂
