Chiefly Design issue № 02 just dropped. → "Should Design Be Measured?" → Yes and no. This is the only correct answer. → NPS is terrible for measuring design. But if your org loves NPS, how you can leverage it in your favor. → Great design is a function of bad ideas.

Should Design Be Measured?

Yes and no. This is the only correct answer. Let's unpack this.

New newsletter drops next week! I'll save "Why Substack" for later. Short answer is Kit, Ghost, etc are fantastic. But for now Substack is the right start, with my site as the newsletter home later (likely powered by one of those). Hope to say hello in your inbox soon. ✌🏼

If we are to successfully address the riptide that is political violence—whether the use of a hammer, firearm, you name it—we must also address the undercurrent of seemingly "harmless" yet demeaning, berating verbal abuse of one's character when they choose to speak out on issues we disagree with.

Willing to bet my career on this: When the AI dust settles there will remain an evergreen need for taste & style at the hands of a professional, the ability to judge with your gut, methodical work at a slower pace, typographic mastery, and so much more that we do as designers.

One of the feedback themes I'm most proud of as a manager over the years: "I feel calmer when I'm around you." Tech doesn't value calmness. But I do. Translation: If we're working together, we will find ways to achieve high-quality, accelerated outcomes in a measured way. Unapologetically.

New week, fresh sheet. Last month, @cameronmoll.bsky.social was kind enough to send me some of his do-its sticky task pads to try out. They've completely replaced the assorted post-its that usually litter my desk. Check them out at: shop.cameronmoll.com/product/do-its

I love the idea of products baking mental health and mindfulness into the fabric of software. Not just lip service, but explicit design principles backed up by real, tangible features. blogs.opera.com/news/2025/02... The things we create affects our users' wellbeing. Let's make that a real concern!

In 10+ years that we've taught these principles to our children and others, we've found that following these brings peace and self-mastery. Ignoring these leads to heartache, regret, and painful recovery. They aren't perfect. But they've proven to be very effective. (Most of them for adults, too.)

I'm loving using "DO-ITS" notes by @cameronmoll.bsky.social. They're simple, Post-It notes that you fill out each morning to focus on your key daily tasks. Very effective. shop.cameronmoll.com/product/do-its

Apologies as this will sound like a subtle marketing play, but would you mind hitting up do-its.co and seeing if it forwards properly to my shop? Seems to be stalling for some people (myself included).

There is a pervasive mindset across most of tech that if you are not being pushed hard by your manager—or pushing yourself hard—you are underperforming. I've spent much of my career pushing back against this narrative. Most days it feels like a finger in the dam. Not once have I regretted it.

I've pondered how to say this without sounding self-righteous and I'm afraid it will regardless. Streaming services seem to have a blank check on the F-word. Because of this I've stayed on the sidelines as popular shows have come & gone. Maybe you need to hear this to know others are out there.

Can't shake the feeling that AI today feels like CSS in the early days before it was supported by most browsers: sounded incredible, poised to revolutionize how we built for the web, but not quite 'there' yet practically.

For those of you ending this year still without an offer in hand: It's them, not you. If I've found one constant over the many years of interviewing & hiring it's that sometimes we overlook or decline really, really good hires. Hang in there. The right person will see it soon.

Honest question: Do runners actually run in On Cloud shoes? Bought my first pair recently and while I'm not a runner I've worn running shoes daily for a long time. These are some of the stiffest shoes in had in a while. (Granted the X3 is low cushioning.)

We've reached that age where some of our sons can't come home for the holidays due to jobs or staying with their spouse's family. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm slightly heartbroken, but on the bright side I'm so proud of the adults they're becoming.
