My grandfather, Dick, was a Korea war veteran who founded a manufacturing company. He was a grizzly, old school guy with a bit of a drinking problem. As the legend goes HAM was the only thing that brought him joy. He…
Yeah - all of that sounds like a pain. No argument from me. Sometimes, things rot and we have a bigger mess than before. There are many circumstances in which a design system is at best a lateral move and at worst a…
So have I, and they weren't. So we're no better off where we started. I at least made concessions on my side of the argument, but you are free to dig your heels in.
I hear this take often - particularly on HN - and I think that it is well off base IME. For many small + medium sized companies, sure, this can be true. For a scaled org with 10s or even 100s of teams building UI having…
Can't believe I'm saying it but twitter has become the main spot for me. Read.cv as others have pointed out is also good. Way less signal and noise than X of course, but the content is almost always very high quality.
The cipher is for any email spam crawlers, not hiding my identity. Pretty common practice on this site.
if the author of this has any interest in collaborating with a designer please let me know. Huge fan of this and would be happy to contribute. peter at peter[HNusername].co
Heh, that sounds _exactly_ like my feed as well. There also is a calendar of dogs pooping that I've gotten about a hundred times. Seeking Arrangements also showing me tons of ads despite the fact that I make it no…
>CEO said there'll be no severance or healthcare. Classy. Learning a lot about how certain people treat their employees during these last couple of admittedly insane years. Good for future reference, I guess - though…
Yes, practical exposure to any industry - particularly ones the teenager has an interest in - is a great thing. I went to what was called a “vocational” high school in the US. In schools like this you rotate between a…
The closest thing I have found is ReelGood. They let you pick all your services and search, browse, etc. Handles cases where multiple providers have the same content pretty gracefully. Your authentication creds don’t…
Pretty cool. I lived out that way for a bit in the early 2010s (Abrams + Munger). I take it you're from Garland originally, or did you grow up in the city?
Wow, this is a great blast from the past. I grew up on the road where this airport http://www.airfields-freeman.com/MA/Airfields_MA_C.htm#norfo... was. You would walk right out our front door and the field with runways…
And police force, who are not burdened by the demands / low staffing DPD are.
This is pretty cool. May buy one and will provide feedback if I do.
Yeah, you see a similar phenomenon in the northeastern US. Places like New Bedford and Lowell, Massachusetts were doing much better when whaling and textiles were in their golden years. Now, not so much.
Location: middle of nowhere Texas, USA Remote: Preferred Willing to relocate: ideally not but will happily consider Austin, TX Technologies: Figma, Design Systems, UX research + design, a11y, CSS/SCSS, Es6, React,…
Yeah I went from Vyvanse to XR to IR over the last 7 years and am happy with IR. I feel as though my ADHD symptoms are mitigated appropriately and the side effects are virtually non existent. Vyvanse was great for…
I know you were being tongue in cheek, but I am pretty sure this launched right around 2017. In fact, I don't think it's been updated since. I always thought this was a really great idea, but I admit it is strange…
The last sentence summarizes all of this thread perfectly IMO. Without giving away too much detail I’d ask if that designer is a one person or very small department? That would be my guess. It makes these arguments a…
Agreed 100%. Most of the comments here conflate the work of designers with stuff they are _compelled_ to do by marketing, PMs looking to pad their KPIs, “growth” departments (is that term even around anymore), or in…
I live out here. 10 miles may as well be an inch. It is VAST. All of the towns around here have a population of 2000 or less, save for Alpine at a whopping 20k. Personally, I have zero concerns about being in the radius…
We loved it so much we moved out here. Couldn’t be happier. Weather is great, people are friendly. No Uber Eats but in the long run that is a net positive I think. this part of Texas is certainly the best in my eyes and…
My good-faith two cents: one step is better than zero here, even if this isn’t, as you plainly state, much more than a hollow gesture. I doubt Amazon senior leadership are thrilled that this has been in the headlines…
I was inspired by your comment and started to look into this. We have kestrels that congregate around the house that I think would ravage the suet but I may try anyway.
