I would love a feature to automatically sort my Spotify favorites into playlists by genre and mood. Surely I'm not the only one in this situation?

I recently ended up saying "that and $5 will buy you coffee", which... is an old phrase. And $5 seemed right for coffee. I curiously looked up the original saying, and it seems to be "that and a nickel will buy you coffee". So there has been 100x inflation since that phrase was coined!

Question: I want to find somewhere to eat. If I type in “restaurant” I dont find some of the places I find if I type in “pizza” or “deli”. Is there no way to search “things to eat”?

Me: I’m craving Italian food Algorithm: here is a picture that is definitely a breakfast burrito

Recommendation algorithm says “because you showed interest in Italian” but the photo is a picture of coffee and the caption says “breakfast burrito”

Because this elevator only goes back and forth between two floors, you only really need one button. But what do you call it? And how do you get people to push it?

Elevator with a “go” button with a sign above reading: press “go” button

I think I have closed this particular piece of UI more often than any other piece of UI I have ever closed.

Super happy about how this @figma.com feature turned out! There are a ton of small details that go into making a feature like this feel obvious when you use it. Let us know what you think!

My wife was out of town for a work event and there was a furry convention in the hotel she was at! In general, I'm not bothered by furries, but I guess they were loud and partying all night.

Ten years from now after AI has destroyed our industry, I'm going to open up an artisanally crafted software shop that will sit in the town square like an old video rental store or cobbler that no one goes to anymore.

Tried a new dish this Thanksgiving... I made the sauce for “mouth watering chicken” and served it on the side, for folks who wanted to add flavor to their turkey. Turned out great! I used a mix of these two recipes www.chinasichuanfood.com/saliva-chick... redhousespice.com/mouth-wateri...

Cooking thanksgiving for the first time in 10+ years. They were out of 10-12lb turkeys so I reserved a 12-14lb. There are only six people eating, and three are teenagers. Am I going to have too much turkey, or way too much turkey?

Kind of amazing seeing the influx of people here. I was really excited about bluesky in the early days, because of the chaotic vibes, but I fell off because I wasn't able to find a group of people to talk about work stuff (which is 1/2 of what I used to do on twitter). Maybe that mix is changing?

I had a dream that Jeff Mills was at my house and he was playing records (on a single turntable.. just one after the other and we were just listening) All tracks that I recognized as Detroit classics in the dream but I don’t think they were real tracks.
