@DannPetty Rucking could be a time saving solution: goruck.com/pages/what-is-…

Need some advice. I’m enjoying walking 2-4 miles a day but want to do more but that alone is already 1 hour plus. Should I bike, elliptical, run, walk…? I’m 40. Former athlete. Afraid to start running and getting injured then quitting. Advice from others my age?

What's the best bass line of all time?

@dvassallo Because they care

Sometimes I buy a garden hose made in Germany, or some silly item like that, and it's like it was made by an advanced alien species. Why is Germany quality so good?

@whale Hey 😀 We build 2 rough no-code prototypes for this in an internal hackaton last dec. 1. menu bar app (shortcuts) 2. mobile app (Flutterflow). We wanted to keep it as simple as possible so enter mood (1-5) + enter description. Shows mood in a colored moodgrit to spot patterns.

Do any of you keep a log of things you do and their effect on your mood? I was thinking of making a spreadsheet for this but curious if you have anything better. I'm wanting to have more clarity into the things that bring me joy and the things that suck.

@HeidyBolwijn @boomeik Ah, mijn fout. Maar misschien ook een boer met een ziek kind, of andere dringender bezigheden :-)

@wildeweg @boomeik Dit is IJssel bij Hattem, het andere was in de Vecht voor Dalfsen 🙃

Balen: op meerdere plekken in de IJssel bij Zwolle drijven geplastificeerde hooibalen. Slordigheid van een boer (vermoedelijk in de Hoenwaard) die ze niet tijdig op droge bracht. #hoogwater @Rijkswaterstaat

@boomeik @HeidyBolwijn Beetje context.

Boer van wie balen ronddrijven in de IJssel, kon ze niet tijdig veilig stellen, omdat zijn zoontje in ziekenhuis lag. Dus geen slordigheid, maar overmacht. Mijn excuses!

@axeleerbeek1 Just curious. What made it stressful?

I recently took a 25% pay cut to work with a smaller design agency (long-term collab) and I must say — it's a breath of fresh air. Communication is very tight and it's wayyy less stressful. I've always freelanced for big agencies but that also means big stress. Who can relate?

@bengold @figma Tried a lot of tools. Principle works (but no developer handoff), protopie (but a bit expensive). Figma plugin Aninix looks promising but no interactivity. wildeweg.nl/blog/the-searc…

What is the best prototyping tool these days? I find the feature set in @figma to be really limiting. I also find origami to be overkill for making basic demos quickly.

@basnijhof Niet als de kans nul is. Nul keer veel is nog steeds nul.

@dannypostma Can't be true. According to @markboulton design is 99% typography 😀

In design, 99% of the magic lies in the padding.

@basnijhof Ik heb namelijk een aardige poging gedaan het wat minder chaotisch te maken 😂

@basnijhof Die chaotische studentenhuizen waren hopelijk een droom en geen nachtmerrie?

@jmulder @X Pfff. Je ziet toch aan alles dat dit geen consistent doorgevoerde huisstijl gaat worden? Dit is adhoc, slecht uitgevoerd, slecht doordacht.

People complaining about the @X logo forget that brand value is mostly established through consistently applying the identity over a period of time. Not from some unique design brilliance. It’ll take time and then be fine as if we didn’t know any better. 🤷‍♂️

@Hiddemhigh @decorrespondent Ik volg jullie beiden met interesse. Maar vind het echt problematisch dat je zo'n tweet plaatst zonder op zijn minst een poging tot weerleggging te doen. Voor jou mogelijk open deuren, maar als geïnteresseerde leek wil ik nu wel weten wat de gaten zijn in zijn betoog.

Ik weet niet waar ik moet beginnen, zoveel onzin staat er in de stuk van Thomas Oudman van. @decorrespondent re-generation.cc/longread/opini…

@Franco_Bolo12 Dan zou ik nog even doorstomen naar nog nieuwer werk. :-)

Na 'OK Computer' eigenlijk nooit meer zoveel naar nieuwe Radiohead albums geluisterd. Afgelopen week veel naar 'Kid A', 'Amnesiac' en 'In Rainbows' geluisterd. Jemig, wat heb ik veel goede nummers gemist...

@ArondeParon @gistreader Thx 😊

@wildeweg @gistreader even random offtopic: wat is jouw persoonlijke website tof zeg! 🔥 Heb er net met veel plezier doorheen geklikt. Heel vet.

Biggest challenge besides marketing that I have experienced in the past couple of months building @gistreader: code is not the hard part; deciding what to build next is. There is just so much cool stuff that I can build, but I can't do it all at once 😅 #buildinpublic

@ArondeParon @gistreader Yeah I can imagine. But beware of the build trap.

@wildeweg @gistreader Well it's definitely not the easy part 😅 To be honest I'm not spending much time on actively marketing the product yet. Biggest challenges for me personally are building in a vacuum and deciding on what users need/want.

disagree you can do basically anything on the web. you can do basically anything in figma.. just faster. *especially* when going wide to explore things where one frame to the next you'll have a completely different layout. web will slow you down. world.hey.com/dhh/design-for…

@dhh To clarify, i like to work directly in html/css, but to force myself to a higher level of detail i jump back and forth between figma en code.

@dhh Honestly, this is likely the primary reason why I refrain from using Basecamp. The finishing refinement and overall polish falls short in my opinion, and i think designing in the browser has a lot to do with that.

This is perhaps the biggest secret to the productivity and viability of our two-person teams at 37signals. All our web designers work directly with the native materials of HTML, CSS, and usually even a fair bit of JavaScript and Ruby. Not in Figma. world.hey.com/dhh/design-for…
