CONVERGE IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! Wild that that's three years in a row that have sold out before the day. This year it sold out even quicker. Aim for next year: Bigger venue and sell out in January

I learned loads too! Reminds me that it's really good to chat to people about their jobs. Should just do it as a general podcast for every kind of job...

Logged in to look at the stats on my Very Old Podcast 'DesignOps Island Discs' and slightly floored that it still gets 1000+ downloads per month, despite not having an update in 3 years. Time to bring it back?

The great iced coffee debate: is it wrong to take a beverage into a job interview?
It might seem a perfectly natural thing to do. But, on TikTok, a recruiter has expressed her dismay at gen Zs showing up with a takeout drink – and it’s caused a ruckus

This is my official call to retire Pumpkin Spice Lattes. We've had a good run of 23 years. Autumn should be all about the Apple Crumble.

Built a little gig guide for the @nothingsoundsgood.bsky.social site and thought I'd do a quick run through of how it works in the hopes that somebody watches and tells me how to make it better 😅

I've got a proof of concept app that checks your ds documentation for how AI-readable it is. Anyone want to help give it a test run on your docs to give some feedback? At the moment it can connect to a public url, uploaded md, md in a github (public or private) or zeroheight styleguide (via OAuth)

Been waiting for a big test to run on my machine, so in the meantime, I did another musical figure. This time it's Boygenius' 'Emily, I'm Sorry'

Are #designsystems dead? 💀 Well, at least design systems as we know them. In this talk from our June event, @lurkmoophy.bsky.social argues for positioning them as core product infrastructure rather than a separate, magical discipline. 👉 You can watch it now, for free: youtu.be/sa_IJRjPtJw

Another illustration this morning of musical figures. This time it's Blink 182's Josie, and specifically the 'I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation' line. Not as happy with this one, but good practice!
A woman, Josie, sitting in front of a tv watching Vacation at 3am. I see her pretty face, and it takes me away to a better place.

Thought I'd start a new little art project where I illustrate characters from songs... the first is Lump from Presidents of the USA.
An illustration of a woman called Lump sitting in the middle of a boggy marsh, totally emotionless except for her heart. Mud is flowing up in Lump's pyjamas. She's confusing all the passing piranhas.
