I've joined some Figma files in my day but nothing shocks me more when a designer uses EEE as their canvas color. animals

Discussed malm’s pipeline with 10-12 ppl yesterday. Overall mood is resignation, reluctance to waste time with ineffective strategy. Immediacy or urgency determines prioritization of social causes. Climate change too far away in geography and time. Great book tho

The “compete with China in AI” directive ruins any chance of IP protection and data sovereignty. It’s war on terror 2.0. It’s now a “matter of national security” that we take all your content.

How do you estimate, plan and coordinate a design initiative on a large technically complex product, with vague and potentially misaligned requirements in a remote international team with impatient stakeholders who have no desire to engage in interim design processes? Asking for a friend

Tariffs won’t fix trade deficit because of USD hegemony But maybe it painfully forces consumers into a more local-centric economy? Or breathes some new life into DIY/repair movements? (Coping with bad situation by imagining potentially beneficial second order effects)

this this this 1000 times & believe me there have been a ton of people, often led by Black women, pushing back on the idea of all-powerful engineers over the last 20 years, but the industry has disempowered critical people & disciplines (eg QA & UX) ruthlessly over that time

screenshot from the article in the quoted post: "DOGE is many things—a dismantling of the federal government, a political project to flex power and punish perceived enemies—but it is also the logical end point of a strain of thought that’s become popular in Silicon Valley during the boom times of Big Tech and easy money: that building software and writing code aren’t just dominant skills for the 21st century, but proof of competence in any realm. In a post on X this week, John Shedletsky, a developer and an early employee at the popular gaming platform Roblox, summed up the philosophy nicely: “Silicon Valley built the modern world. Why shouldn’t we run it?”

It’s worth exposing bloated foundations, yes. But techno optimists fail to absorb that there is no “cheap tech fix” to international development. We can’t airdrop internet, computers, blockchain and expect development. It requires resourcing communities, infra, institutions. That requires money

My latest project at Readwise is an interesting one. I built it from end-to-end and I loved learning about AI, vector databases, etc. So many users have called it a 'game-changer' that we've joked about renaming it that 😅

what could be a moment to reform international aid to a more effective vehicle for achieving colonial / climate reparations and equitable prosperity instead will become an indictment of the project or its aims.

So if you're imagining viable new HSR connections in the US outside the Acela and CAHSR corridors, you've got a tiny few that seem genuinely plausible (DAL-HOU, CHI-DET) before you start getting into some really flimsy propositions. Columbus is a fine city, but it's sure as hell no Paris or Berlin.

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine
