Anyway, I've been applying for senior and staff product design roles over the past 7 months and my "conversion rate" on cold apply was 25% in Apr and dropped to 10% now. But my numbers aren't big enough to mean anything; not playing a numbers game.

Another one is "we just don't see a fit." I've been selective at applying where I have most if not all the qualifications, and adjust resume points/language. The last job I applied for was almost an exact match of my prev role, but "not a fit." Obv it's a form letter, but feels gaslight-y.

One of the worst things about job application rejections with no feedback is... wondering if they wrongfully decided I used AI 🤢

Wireframe-y, but finally figuring out (browser native) view transitions 😊

What SSG or lightweight CMS should I try for making a small gallery site with a few categories? #lazyweb

Fenrir watching the snow yesterday
Black and white cat lounging atop a cat tree in front of a window, leaning with elbow over the edge, looking up off camera, with wide eyes and mouth hanging open a bit, teeth and tongue showing. A look of awe or horror?

Light and shadow. My photos storage is 97% full for some reason.
A silver tabby cat in front of a white kitchen island in the angled sunlight looks at us, and a black cat lying on a rug in the shade turned awaySame as first pic, but black cat now looks at us.

Happy caturday

I made this little code prototype to test the technical feasibility of an idea I mocked up in Figma a while ago. The concept was to have a responsive overview show the top items and use "contextual zoom" for more detail. Neat that it's CSS-only, smoother and took less time than Figma.

I've been writing. I don't have writers block, but I do seem to have poster's block. Anyway, here's a cat
Moody-looking black and white tabby cat, face partially obscured in shade cast by the black and white chair he sits upon, in front of a writing desk with laptop, notebooks, brass lamp, vintage-looking art.

The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/05/a...

Starting a blog. I made it with the Eleventy base blog, which was a breeze. Now I just need to mush it into my main site to publish. Maybe in a day or two.

First post! I was on that other app and somewhat active in the web design community in early 2010s. Making websites since 1999. Not sure what I'll post here. Haven't had many side projects lately. Used to blog. Wish the web was fun again. I'm inspired by people on here!
