Got my nephew a Switch for Christmas and he keeps calling Mario “Romeo” just to annoy me which is outstanding.

Me trying to avoid feedback when someone destroys my design in crit
The first place I think of when I try to tell someone about this quality is a corner of an English country garden where a peach tree grows against a wall.
The wall runs east to west; the peach tree grows flat against the southern side. The sun shines on the tree and, as it warms the bricks behind the tree, the warm bricks themselves warm the peaches on the tree. It has a slightly dozy quality. The tree, carefully tied to grow flat against the wall; warming the bricks; the peaches growing in the sun; the wild grass growing around the roots of the tree, in the angle where the earth and roots and wall all meet.
This quality is the most fundamental quality there is in anything.
(Alexander 1979)

I bet I wouldn’t have become a designer if it wasn’t for CSS3 and HTML5. They came together at *just* the right time and captured everything that was so exciting about publishing and typography on the web. robinrendle.com/notes/the-er...

Without them, I wouldn’t be a designer.

When the world feels so unstable I find solace in the work.

Me: this icon is bad Me ten mins later: the icon is bad because the system sucks because there’s no UI engineers because management doesn’t do that work because the industry doesn’t advocate for it because web design is seen as a joke because the heat death of the universe…

I think this is why you can’t plan for design systems work in the same way that you can for a product. Because, quite honestly, no one has any idea how bad any of it is until you roll up your sleeves.

Last week I found we have four icon libraries so I started fixing that and then I found that our docs are pure chaos so I reorganized them and then I found the branding of the library was bad so fixed that and then and then and then…

The fantasy of Master and Commander isn’t that we get to ride old sailing ships and kill dudes. The real fantasy of that movie is what if your shitty boss wasn’t shitty but was actually super competent and cool as hell and could tie ropes better than you.
