This pretty well sums up my feelings on the "America by design" stunt...

"In other words, we’re left with a web page announcing a new era of design for the United States government, but it’s tremendously costly to download, and inaccessible to many. What I want to suggest is that neither of these things are accidents: they read to me as signals of intent; of how this administration intends to practice design."

Well done, Ethan Marcotte.

Had this idea pop up when I was listening to music while working at the coffee shop today. Execution could be much better and maybe I'll try again when I have more time, but I do love the concept and this is totally me.

DX.

Why did it take me so long to think of 😱 instead of trying to say "you know, UX but for library APIs"

Now I can just say: Hey FontConfig, you have terrible DX!

(I have long pushed on the idea that design is a required skill for programming code, not just GUIs or even CLIs, but the code itself should be designed too)

I asked Design Week if they'd join the fediverse and apparently "it's on the backlog" 🤞

But, in direct response to my request, they instantly fixed a Bluesky bridge, so now you can follow their updates: @designweek.co.uk

🎉

This is a step in the right direction 😎

I’m speaking at Defuse – Design For Use – at The Sugar Club in Dublin on November 10th at 7PM.

The theme is “Reclaiming Design: Taking Back Purpose in an Automated Age” and my talk’s titled “Think small.”

It’s first come, first served, so mark your calendars and show up early (and find me and say hi if you do!) :)

Looking to buy an iPad?

Check out this calculator that lets you pick a specific iPad model, tells you how many ProCreate layers it will support.

If you'll do any drawing, this is critically important. But it's also an indicator of RAM availability, which correlates to future AI performance.

My thinking here is, more ProCreate layers == better AI performance.

Agree? Disagree?
