Thomas Meijer

@darylginn Same vibe

Maturing as a designer is realizing a little less border radius is better.

@elkelk And then they say @joshm can't innovate no more huh?!

Remember the browser company? Yeah they make AI agents for drive-thru now

@initjean Truly Dutch, always complaining about the weather

they put nature's AC too high. it's fucking cold

I see hahaha. Phonetically they sound very similar yeah Meijer is actually old Dutch, the word mayor is related to it Nijmegen is the oldest city in The Netherlands, dating back to the romans. It was called Noviomagus, meaning new market. Referring the market right next to the posting of the Roman army

@ijsthee Not exactly😬 It’s actually - Meijer I pronounce this literally like the English word “Meager” Then your city Nijmengen I’m pronouncing this more like “Nij-Meager” Skipping the last “n” like French does for most consonants You’re from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I assume

cooking up some designs No, literally cooking. It’s 31 degrees here, please send ice cream

@stevelauda_ This is so clever!

From now on, no more PDF proposals. All build to go live, mobile friendly, and AI-powered scale.

@elitethedev Hahaha you mean my username?

@ijsthee Maybe it’s because I only speak English but your name sounds a lot like your city

@ijsthee Oh… so this is this what they mean with “designers are cooked”

@Jaytel Stealing this idea for myself, this is so cool

I built myself a chrome extension called Pose Any clothing model of any store becomes me. Each brand still conveys their brand aesthetic, but I can quickly understand how something would look on me.

@TheLuckyHell @LouiseDSadeleer @9ranty

@LouiseDSadeleer @ijsthee @9ranty You deserve gorgeous footwear you’re so hot and smart 🥹😎

I think I deserve a raise ‘cause this is how I am packing for our company off-site @9ranty

@oykun That everything basically cooks itself at this point

Designers who say “cooking…” instead of “designing…” How is business going for you? Able to find anyone eating?

@ijsthee Meanwhile me: who is having avg 35-40 degrees

@tobymarshman We cool like that

@ijsthee Man that's flash 😆

Where it all began, 2002 Spent hours in Photoshop 6, making Pokemon themed 88x31 buttons for the little community I was in

Alright, writing something up. Anything you guys wanna see covered?

@victoria_framer So many found memories of those times

@ijsthee At that time me and my friend were constantly drawing Pokémon on paper We had this huge poster with almost all of them and kept redrawing them over and over again. It was so cool time!

@tobymarshman We were actually one of the first ones with ADSL in our street because my dad was such a computer nerd So while my mom was chatting with my aunt on the phone I could get online

@ijsthee I can just hear the dial-up buzzing sound in the background and parents yelling to get off the phone line

@iotambat @tonjkb It doesn't

@tonjkb what if my car drives itself?

Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives. "People are dying because of dumb design." "Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display." When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen. I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road. Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls. We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back. Source: Cleo Abram
