4/ What I found in my meetings is a view of innovation and increased connectivity as a near universal net good. Feels like a bit of a innovation hamster wheel. Not enough leaders seriously asking - does the innovation actually increase citizens' happiness?— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) September 19, 2022

✨[THREAD]✨Figma (Adobe 👀) friends, in this thread, I will help people understand how I design these little cards I use in my client work. I get DM’s and messages about them all the time, so I thought I would share a bit of my process. pic.twitter.com/h4dSxjSohq— James 🤌🏻 (@jamesm) September 19, 2022

Hmm… yeah… frustrations and setbacks. I got a history degree, then went to motorcycle mechanics school, worked at a newspaper, taught English in Japan, went to grad school, and worked at 5 tech jobs without much success. I joined Apple on my 35th birthday. It can take a while. https://t.co/31FwGy22ND— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) September 19, 2022

I like this idea a lot and after many years, finally brought it to life... CSS-only magnifier! The demo doesn’t have any JavaScript.Will share the code next week, but I believe some of you can already figure it out :D pic.twitter.com/rTs8aFj2uj— Shu (@shuding_) September 18, 2022

I worked on this project and I was 1 of 2 Black people on the crew and they kept calling me her name. We both had braids, she was dark skin and 5’10. I’m 5’5. Working on this took everything I had as I was treated horribly. I look at the Black female lead differently now too. https://t.co/3vezWpreNT— Kim Alsup (@CreativeK) September 18, 2022

I’d say this is largely because it’s what design leadership & hiring mgrs ask to see in the interview process. They often put extensive emphasis on process and young designers are conditioned to follow process-based frameworks, which bootcamps + institutions then reinforce.— Mateo Nava (@mateo_nava_) September 17, 2022

Something tells me that it being promoted into a way of assessing “profile quality” by recruiters who have no design knowledge or time to talk to candidates has certainly not helped.— Ana (@dingbats__) September 18, 2022

Republicans recognize this and have thus organized all of their politics around systematic deception; but recent developments prove Democrats can also marshal information to great political effect, without lying.

I prefer the simplest way to deliver a desired effect. I don’t say that I need springs and complex timings, because they might not be the best solution for the task. What is the best solution? The excerpt describes how I approach that question. tl;dr Design is how it works. pic.twitter.com/ayEosvACOi— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) September 17, 2022

8) Create a "digital bench"Build a curated library of talented people who do what you can't. Keep a list of other designers, developers, illustrators, copywriters, and strategists who you can call upon to 10x your projects.— Nick Pattison (@nick__pattison) May 18, 2022

I worry that a whole bunch of designer effort is now going to be spent on making blobby wobbly pixels—but for what actual benefit? Making great software is still mostly about delivering useful and meaningful features for people.— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) September 17, 2022

The new project I designed arrives today - the Dynamic Island. Its goal is to feel like a living, elastic bubble that can fluidly shape shift into different alerts and experiences.This is just the start, but I’m excited to see it begin its life! pic.twitter.com/HTkhSK69LU— Chan Karunamuni (@chan_k) September 16, 2022

One thing I love about Abbott Elementary that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the ethical, kind use of child performers on the show. I am an outlier who thinks kids should not act professionally, and on AE they barely do - they pretty much just act like regular kids— 1/5— Eliza Skinner (@elizaskinner) September 15, 2022

Huy Fong's Sriracha hit revenue of $150m+ a year...with no sales team, no trademark and $0 in ad spend.

Oklahoma authorities found multiple human remains on a compound w/links to a violent white supremacist gang.

“The great @verge review of iPhone 14 Pro took a (literal) close look at the animations on a pixel level. Incredible. They also reveal that Apple uses special hardware-based subpixel antialiasing to make them extra smooth. Which other company does this? https://t.co/70c2SACDAj”

“I talked to a super smart 20 year old this week. All the potential in the world, but had a major major flaw in his thinking. This flaw is becoming the most common mistake I am seeing young people make early in their career. Let's break it down:”

Some people think UX design is just doing the facilitation or research work like personas and empathy mapping, etc. etc. and there are lots of bootcamps which teach only those things.— Helen Tran (@tranhelen) September 10, 2022

“what if--hear me out--the regret students have about majoring in humanities stems not from the major itself but from a world we've made that is radically inhospitable to the kinds of values and ways of being the humanities (at their best) are oriented towards?”

“Return To Dust is an award winning movie about the very poor in rural China. Lots of Chinese citizens thought it was over dramatized just to win foreign awards & make China look bad. State media had to step in & say, no, ppl do live like this, it’s you guys who are out of touch.”
