I went to 12 years of Catholic education and the mindset you describe was never mentioned once.
Until you need a team, Figma is free.
It doesn't say a word about devs. This could probably use a title change. It's gonna make everyone defensive.

wow

Did you pick this idea up somewhere else or think of it yourself? I've not heard that concept, and it makes way too much sense.
We're more susceptible to god complex because we're highly skilled at one thing already. We also don't want to admit to ourselves that we're living through a confusing time that we can't make sense of in them moment.
I went through that process a year ago. It was a good amount of work. When I was done, I realized I wasn't getting anything out of Facebook and deleted.
I'm not gonna disagree, but I think the difference now is an extreme focus on the self and an impossible expectation to feel happy and content.
Is the back catalog valuable without a system like YouTube's? There are countless small clips of the Joe Rogan show that are constantly recommended by the algorithm. Is there any indication that Spotify is capable of replacing that?
Removing the emojis in the ordered list at the top would be really helpful. My brain wouldn't let me properly read that simple list with them there. I get that they are trying to introduce the way-finding anchor link piece, but it really gets in the way of the content.
You're describing the status quo before the crisis. We weren't suffering from excess happiness and satisfaction. It's time for something new. The new things are yet to be determined.
Hero of our own story bias? The incentives are lined up to make naivete very comfortable for some people.
Probably because it's from a visual designer's perspective. There is nothing in the article about prototyping. It was focused on layout and developer hand-off. Framer is behind on those fronts, but they have a pretty different paradigm.
It's not going to be convenient to get off any Google product. If privacy and escaping algorithm bubbles is important enough to you, DDG can probably be "good enough".
When I went in, they just checked for alcohol in your bags. They didn't ask for any proof of being a guest.
Dang. I was just there last year, and it was so nice.
I recommend going to Vegas and not doing any of the "normal" stuff. There is great camping 25 minutes from the strip. You can park on the strip for free and go to the hotel pools. Tons of a beautiful hiking and climbing.
Same story with "consumers"
Who are "the people who stand in the way of using normal political mechanisms to regulate carbon emissions"?
> I'm not going to go into UX (even though it's more important) because I think learning how to think in simple design patterns is the baseline for creating usable products.
In my experience, engineers are ‘How it works’ people way more than they are ‘How it looks’ people. The UX article they didn’t write would be more helpful. It’d be hard to write, and I understand why they didn’t.
There’s a lot of good UI kits available now. Those open source projects need better UX way before they need better icons, fonts, logos, etc.
Isn't ride sharing just taxis? Someone will "re-invent" it.
FWIW there is already some push back on this trend in design circles. I just want buttons and form elements to look like you can interact with them again.
I've been this person a few times, so I sympathize while seeing all the mistakes they made.
Some people have no problem with office politics. Some people don't notice or seem unaffected by it. I have a hero complex (or a sense of ethics if you want to be generous), and I can't be a full time employee anymore. Freelance work helps me keep boundaries in my work.
I fantasize about a product like that sometimes. A private, pay social site geared towards families. Your family pays a yearly subscription. Photo/video sharing. Event planning. Family news timeline. Everything purely linear. No manipulation to maximize engagement. No ads. Just real information about your family that you care about.
One side of my family has about 30 people that are all willing to travel to meet somewhere every few years. Compared to that expense, it would be trivial for us to share the cost of such a service, even if it were a few hundreds dollars a year.
They gave rise to Snapchat, knowing that they'd want to control what went on the record. Now they're the first to figure out the new rules of public communication.
