"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." @Snowden

it genuinely feels like modern life has become a bandwidth trap. the amount available to perceive, read, respond to, maintain, understand, optimize, archive, remember, compare, desire, fear, & keep up with is just grotesquely higher than what a human day can metabolize. even worse the world now presents itself as if it is all equally adjacent to you. every article, every take, every message, every possibility, every person, every catastrophe, & every opportunity. your brain interprets this as “maybe i should be engaging with all of it.” but you can’t. nobody can. not even the freaks. the good news is that ai is the best mechanic to parse signal from the noise, & that’s what we are building.

A problem I think about every now and then but never say out loud... 😅

If your father or mother is above 67, please pause and read this slowly. At that age, life begins to feel different for them. The world moves faster, but their bodies move slower. The things they once did effortlessly now require effort. Their strength is not what it used to be, and even if they don’t say it, they feel it. What they need now is not pressure. Not stress. Not arguments about money or past mistakes. They need stability. They need reassurance. They need to feel safe. If they have savings, protect it. This is not the stage for risky investments or “let’s try this opportunity.” It is the stage for preservation. Capital safety matters more than high returns. Peace of mind matters more than profit. If they depend on you financially, don’t see it as a burden. See it as a privilege. The same hands that once carried you are now weaker. The same voices that defended you now speak softer. Support them with dignity, not pity. And beyond money, give them something deeper. Call them without being in a hurry. Sit with them without checking your phone every two minutes. Let them repeat stories you’ve heard before. One day, you will wish to hear those stories again. At 67 and above, what they truly fear is not death. It is loneliness. It is feeling forgotten. Take care of their health. Help them organize their documents. Make sure they are not being financially manipulated. Protect them from stress. But most importantly, protect their heart. Because one day, the chair they sit on will be empty. And no amount of money will buy back one more conversation.

Finished Mr. Robot. Pure art. Sam Esmail turned loneliness into a visual language. Every frame says what the characters can't.

Been doing this since before DevOps was a word.

Work in progress.

@bertselleslagh @cagataycivici Hi, glad to hear you’re enjoying native Figma variables. Could you please report the issue here: github.com/orgs/primeface…

@w00f @cagataycivici Loving the nativa Figma variables setup now in PrimeUI. The sync to the theme seems somewhat broken though, especially in dropdown lists. Can't seem to figure out how to set a font through tokens either.

That time of the year. 4.0 (and 3.2) shipped. Onward.

Next year: same concept, but from an actual ER.

Really enjoyed The Pitt Season 1. Season 2 is out, so I’m trying something different: watching each episode at the same hour it takes place. All scheduled through the final episode. imdb.com/title/tt319380…

PrimeOne 4 is arriving soon. Design tokens re-architected around native Figma Variable Collections.

Read the entire LotR series for the first time. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: complete. Deep into Batman Detective Comics. Learned how to survive zombies 🧟 Solid year. #GoodreadsYearInBooks

One of the skills I forgot I had—acquired from playing stopwatch football with a Casio watch back in elementary school.

My favorite read this weekend, covering almost 30 years I’ve personally experienced: artmann.co/articles/30-ye…

Managed to implement a Bulk Email notification for PrimeUI Store without accidentally sending "This is a test" email to prod users. There was one close encounter though.

Obviously.

I watched Schema by Figma yesterday and the Adobe MAX keynote today. Exception thrown: TooManyAnnouncementsError.
