Is the World Getting Uglier?
So much contemporary design feels more bloviating than expressive, as though visual volume now matters more than beauty, writes Debbie Millman.

“A camel is a horse designed by a committee”. Well, the EU went a step further with the #PPWR and created a one-legged camel with 27 heads. If you're an artist/designer/maker/small business selling online, tell them how this affects you, let your voice be heard! ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

I regret to inform everyone that our dog escaped our property last night, broke in to our neighbours' house, and ate their dinner. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve eating the rest of our neighbours' pantry until his motives become apparent.

A catch-up after a few quiet months. The foundations are done, Fluck is properly registered and running, and the app itself is taking shape.

You hit the nail on the head! I've also been using DDG for years and had Kagi on y radar for a while. I was hesitant about the subscription fee but yesterday I paid it for the first time and it really is something else. The search results feel more accurate and well presented.

wout @wout.codes · 13/03/2026
Bun is nice too btw. It's fast and gets out of the way. On a Crystal project I recently replaced an NPM/Vite setup with pure Bun for everything, including CSS HMR, and it works beautifully. I'm thinking about doing the same for our Rails projects.

The increasing number of LLM Bots (aka "AI Agents") creating PRs on GitHub is worrying. They are taking away time from open-source maintainers who are already time-strapped. But what's the best strategy to fight them? Block and report? Or demand endlessly complex tweaks to exhaust their resources?

Engaging in mental gymnastics to justify what's convenient but unevidenced, unjust but personally beneficial, 'rewires your neural map' in ways that degrade your overall ability to understand and analyze the world around you, which is a precondition for intelligence and creativity.

the new (beta) @penpot.app renderer is such a huge improvement. snappier in a 100-tab browser window from hell than the Figma desktop app with a single file open. i know i keep saying this but if you design for the web and you haven't tried penpot you owe it to yourself to give it a whirl.

You can fundamentally rewire your brain to properly understand CSS layout... for $34.50. Can’t say fairer than that! One day left.

Every Layout is a reference I use daily. Complete CSS was a great level-up. Mindful Design is priceless. Andy's work, and by extension the Piccalilli team, delivers knowledge that will be with you for the rest of your life, not just until the next framework appears. I can't recommend it enough.

They offered a reduced price of €37 but honestly we don't actually need the Adobe products. We also have licences for the full Affinity 2 suite. Keeping the Adobe subscription was just for convenience.

Just in from #Adobe: “Your Creative Cloud Pro subscription will increase from €29.99 to €65.54 starting next month.” Just so they can push more AI crap on us I suppose? That's insane! Happy to finally pull the plug there.
