My dear Bluesky friends. Guess who came up with the title of this talk? Think, you know him! 😎

I’ve been talking about #DesignSystems quite a bit lately. Apparently, I’m not done yet 😅 After Code Europe and a chat with @neciudan.dev on Señors @ Scale, next stop: 4Developers in Katowice, Oct 8.

There’s no other place in the world with such a high density of big-brand fashion outfits per square meter as the departure terminal at Alanya Airport. 😅

I’m a bit disappointed. I expected Trump to stick to the naming convention he set and rename it “America’s Intelligence.”

I see lots of great releases coming from @manning.com recently, and I know this one by @denodell.bsky.social is going to be a banger! I really need to give MEAP a try. I’ve already pre-ordered a few books, but I keep waiting for the paperbacks. Somehow, they still give me the most joy when reading.

@denodell.bsky.social, the trickiest part of “fast web apps” is the understandable misconception among non-tech-savvy users that there are things we, as developers, simply cannot control. realpython.com/podcasts/rpp... CC @digiglean.bsky.social @realpython.com

Okay, I caught up on all that #EdSheeran beef, and I have to admit Macklemore’s appeal was nothing but beautiful. Almost like a manifesto for basic humanity. It kinda reminded me of the lyrics to Imagine.

"You don't really know a design system until you have to change it." That was the main thesis of my @codeeurope.bsky.social talk: #DesignSystems That Explain Themselves. It grew out of my own experiences and observations, with Netflix's Hawkins Visual Refresh as one of the case studies.

I used to hate it, but now I love that when a tight tech talk deadline (10 hours) approaches and I need to do some heavy lifting on my slides, I tend to tweak the animation easing to see if 100 ms makes a difference. I guess I'll always be a "UI Engineer." Anyone else with such snacking habits? 😅

Okay, I’m wired. I found someone to charge my Garmin in Zurich, then asked my wife to bump up my steps while I was stuck on calls and she walked the same route I did when my watch died. 😂 Now let’s see if this determination survives until tonight’s training. 😅

@kevinpowell.co loved the talk! Especially the frame around the separation of concerns, which depends on the definition we put on it. Had been arguing about that with folks recently 🙃

I used to think overdelivering meant doing more. More work. More yeses. More hours. Turns out I was wrong. A short reflection on why "more" eventually stops being better. Curious to hear your thoughts! chudy.me/go/pc0t

Overdelivering is Not About Doing More. It's Actually The Opposite. | Szymon Chudy
Overdelivering isn't about volume. It's about doing fewer, more meaningful things - and what years of hustle culture cost me before I figured that out.

Happy to share that I'll be speaking at Code Europe on September 15 in Warsaw. My talk is called "Design Systems That Explain Themselves." I'll talk about what happens when you try to change a #DesignSystem that has been around for almost a decade. The components are rarely the hardest part. 1/5

Financial support is the first obvious one since we are truly a bootstrapped open source company with zero paid products or consumer-driven monetization. Right alongside that, we hope to help Vercel make TanStack work even more flawlessly on their platform.

I'm choosing to write worse. On purpose. My workflow became: Write. Ask AI to improve it. Question everything. Ask AI again. Polish more. Don't publish. At some point, I realized I wasn't really writing anymore. I was producing content. 1/

The worst thing to hear from your opponent after losing a #tennis match? “I had never beaten anyone before.” My reply? “Yeah, you’re not the first one to say that.” 😅 Luckily, that’s not today’s story. I finally won something in the local tennis league. Yay! 🎾

Just wrote and ran my first more complex loop that addresses relatively minor changes in 6 components for the new major release of our design system. Gosh, it felt so awesome to do other stuff in the meantime. Let’s see how good those results are🤞

Ok @zurichjs.com folks, I made it! 5km #run without walking breaks. Let's see if I can sustain/imrpove it by Sep 10th. Of course I'll adjust to the pace of the group - just trying to go with the flow here 🫡

Anyone from my online friends interested in a free 2-month trial of LinkedIn Premium (learning platform included, I guess)? They just prompted me that I can give out 10 of those. Not sure if that's rare or not. 😅
