I care about your blog, but you don’t need my approval (or anyone’s) for your blog to be worthwhile! alexmolas.com/2023/07/15/nob…

@ryanflorence @kentcdodds Hope that your surgery went well!

Y’all @kentcdodds is the real deal. Drove up to my house last night unannounced to drop off a delicious meal for tonight, the day of my surgery. He doesn’t really live close either. He is so much more genuine than everybody it’s hard to believe.

How to kill a platform in a weekend.

@ryanflorence I agree in spirit, but not at the expense of breaking the most fundamental features of your user experience (and not immediately rolling back).

@kendrick I don’t mind bugs, at least they’re shipping stuff.

I can’t see replies to this tweet because of the same bug. Twitter catastrophically breaking their own user experience to defend against “bad actor” bogeymen feels like peak Elon rn.

@aarondfrancis So the toxicity isn’t necessarily a quality of the dev who’s hustling, but rather whether or not it gets held up as a No True Scotsman qualifier.

@aarondfrancis My career and hobby happen to be the same thing—how fortunate! I think the “toxicity” vibe may come into play when devs judge a teammate/interviewee based on how hard they grind after hours. I’ve seen that time after time after time.

If an athlete shows up to practice two hours early, they're a leader. If an artist plays multiple crappy venues a week, they're just putting in the work. If a developer builds a side project on nights and weekends, they're toxic and need balance. What's the deal with that?

@TaylorCashdan What that “scaling” looks like in practice is SO DIFFERENT than I anticipated. Primarily relentless advocacy, framing what we offer through a user-centered lens—where the users are our colleagues—and lots of meetings. 🫠

@kendrick "scaling the impact of the good work around us." really resonates

Candidly, when does the "I didn't produce any tangible artifacts today, despite landing some important discussions/decisions" start to feel like a productive/accomplished day as opposed to "you didn't do enough"? Asking for a new manager friend...er...that friend is me.

Most squirrel bites originate at the front, or “bitey end,” of the squirrel.

Cardiac kids.

@ryanrumsey @ThisIsBobBaxley @figma We’re on the org plan and it’s the exact same problem. Have to pay $75/editor/month for the enterprise plan for the convenience of avoiding this dark(est) pattern.

@ridd_design @figma Native tokens support and a “Swap Libraries” feature that works on nested instances.

Alright... let's say @figma gives you the keys to the kingdom 🔑 What's the 1 feature you'd release at this year's Config?

@TheSharpeEnd Two incredibly obvious offside calls in the same build up, and neither the linesman nor VAR could be bothered. The FA should be embarrassed.

Exc: VAR Lee Mason forgot to draw offside lines on Ivan Toney's equaliser in a mistake that could have a huge impact on Arsenal's title hopes. Christian Norgaard was offside. Had the lines been drawn, the goal would have been disallowed. #AFC dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

@laurenloprete Was literally looking for something similar today. This one looks simple and promising but I haven’t investigated yet: figma.com/community/plug…

Any recommended internationalization figma plug-ins to test design work in other languages? Looking for tools to improve Design QA, *not* as a localization process tool.

@svorklab I’m a big fan of the catacombs if you’ve never seen something similar in person!

48h in #Paris - what shouldn’t I miss? 🇫🇷🥖

A tale of two papers. For shame.

ADHD is weird. When it’s working with me, I can remember tiny details from the farthest corners of my mind, criss crossing and comparing counter points all in my head before even saying what I wanted to say. When against, I get out of a chair and then can’t remember why I got up.
