Big News!!! I just saw that Anthropic released Claude Design today, most likely it’s redefining how we approach design workflows, from concept to execution. This is going to reshape the whole field. www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs
Today, we’re launching Claude Design, a new Anthropic Labs product that lets you collaborate with Claude to create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more.

Settling Sometimes it pays to accept and celebrate what we get. And sometimes, we only get something because we settled for it. It helps to be able to discern the difference between the two.

State of the Word, WordPress 6.9, Carousel Block and more — Weekend Edition #350
Read onlineIssue #350 | November 22, 2025 Hi there, Munich got hit with the first snow for this Winter. It started slowly on Friday morning, and by the afternoon the flakes got larger and the white started to cover tree branches, roofs and cars. It might all be gone by tomorrow, though, as the weather forecast shows -7 °C (19.4 °F) with sunshine.❄️ I am still a Floridian Weather whimp, but I like the snow covering the overcast gray of an Autumn day.

Mega Menus in core, WordPress 6.9 calls for testing, going from Elementor to Site Editor — Weekend Edition 344
Read onlineIssue #344 | October 11, 2025 Howdy, After meeting so many people at WordCamp Gdynia, on the plane and then on the train, I caught a nasty cold and struggled all week. I call this stage mushbrain, and everything becomes much harder, especially reading comprehension suffers. I am over it now, though. It also wasn't the first time that I sounded horsey on a podcast episode.

An article published on a blog is a blog post. It is not a blog. “Do you read my blog?” is a correctly worded question. “Did you read my blog?” (meaning did you read my blog post) is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Figma's new 'Glass' effect definitely adds that trendy iOS-style blur, but I have to wonder if it’s more style over substance. Is it truly enhancing design, or just another layer of gloss? #design #figma #ios #apple #ui #trend youtu.be/H_HN0nwdox0?...

Surrounded by books I’ll pretend I’ll read, coffee I definitely will drink, and the comforting illusion that I’m getting smarter just by sitting here. This might be my final form.
