@stop Whether you joined this year, or whether you’re OG. It wasn’t all good, and there have been more than enough bad apples trying to spoil the barrel.
-
Saying what I want to say, while this thing’s still on, and while there are still people here to say it to…
-
@DannPetty @Ridderingand I can understand not using components, especially outside of a multi-person org. But now that I know auto layout pretty well, I can’t imagine working without it.
-
@jmspool For those of us who were alive *way back in the 80s*, with “Switches came into existence way back in the 80s”, I assume she actually means the 1880s, when the first light switch was invented.
-
@ushtaritk421 @jmspool Correct. Megan just didn’t mention the origin, which would have helped understand the concept she mentions of “leaving a trail behind”.
-
Layoffs at any company are difficult. But if they need to happen, ideally the company handles them in such a transparent, apologetic, and dignified way as Stripe is doing for its employees being let go today. stripe.com/newsroom/news/…
-
@cdharrison Yes, do. Was going to follow her IG-DM process. But would gladly support her Etsy shop to help push her sales numbers 1 higher.
-
@cdharrison These are fun. Love the style.
-
@luxuryluke Yep, and they come in waves too.
-
@ugmonk I don’t know (or remember) how you use IG. Maybe what you notice is true for product line promotion? I know that you use Twitter well. The platform gives you a good balance of imagery, text, links, and discussion that you’re good at. I think that makes a difference over time.
-
@stop @mikeindustries Twitter may not be able to stop the hate that’s out there. But they could turn off the tools that amplify it.
-
@mikeindustries None? I think it would actually help a lot. Sure, hateful stuff can still be out there. But it’s kind of a tree falls in a forest kind of thing. Less eyeballs and attention on it, that content will start to go elsewhere.
-
I agree with this premise. It sounds a lot like rolling Twitter back to what it used to be — where the user had much more control over what they receive in their feed. Algo timelines, conversations, and even (dare I say it) retweets have contributed to this loss of control. twitter.com/dhh/status/158…

@stop @hellogeri @danrubin Also, when they run the separations, the film for plates comes out with those Pantone names on them, as if I had used the digital library.
-
@hellogeri @stephenhay @danrubin And I felt like I was just making progress migrating away from so much reliance on Adobe by learning Figma, and then, well…
-
@hellogeri @danrubin I know it takes additional initial work, but I’ve been matching my own colors (to swatch books) as spot swatches, then renaming them to the Pantone values I intend. So printers see exactly what I intend without diagrams.
-
@stop @hellogeri @danrubin Mentioned in Cory’s thread was an alt system someone started, but now seems dormant. Replacing or competing with Pantone on the production side seems impossible because every printer and manufacturer in the world relies on it for consistency. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
-
@hellogeri @danrubin Oh, I completely empathize with you. I think the payment model is ridiculous. I guess I see my own ways to easily avoid it tho. Because I have only ever matched values on my own with swatch books. I’ve always thought Pantone’s screen approximations were crap. twitter.com/stop/status/15…
-
@danrubin Pantone is only relevant for custom-mixed spot-color printing on paper or physical goods, or matching for material production. Sure, that’s still a large market. It’s numerical system might be convenient for digital design, but otherwise, it is wholly unnecessary, no?
-
@DanRMorris I may, not sure. I had been wearing most of my Twitter Ts, but at one point, I retired them and put some in the bottom of a drawer to keep them in decent condition.
-
Some think Twitter’s tech stack can’t be that complicated, that building a simple product is easy. Simple ≠ easy, especially one-to-many at scale. Sure, big companies over-complicate things. The easy part is over-simplifying a product you don’t actually understand.

@leesteffen Getting a Squid Game meets Handmaid’s Tale vibe.
-
@plasticmind What a transformation. Nature is amazing.
-
The Problem with Jon Stewart is that there is only one Jon Stewart.
-
@ryancarson … plus a small percentage who follow you, and only occasionally share their opinions. 😉
-
@sarahdoody Over the last 15+ years, I’ve noticed it rises and falls in consistent waves. We may be feeling the back side of a wave. Some voices tire, rest, and return. Others burn out or shift to non-UX topics. And new voices join and bring fresh perspectives.

@johnnie @SummitOV The Summit at One Vanderbilt. Worth a visit for more than just the toilet, obvi. But among restrooms, this one stands out. summitov.com
-
Challenge: find a toilet with a better view than this.
-
What if someone came out with a series like @blackmirror, but instead of the scary/bad things possible with future-tech that we keep catching up to, they inspired us by predicting amazing, good-for-us things that aren’t quite possible yet, but that we should all be aiming for?
-
@luxuryluke Now seeing lots of ads for office chairs in my Tw and IG feeds, prob thanks to you. Don’t mind them, just noting, even the crossover to IG.
-
Inside-the-parkers are so fun to watch. Almost always requires a fielding mistake. But the runner has to be aware and go for it. twitter.com/MLBONFOX/statu…

@bhaggs Ironically, we’re on our way to appointments right now for shots and boosters.
-
Flu season is hitting hard already. 90% of my daughter’s grade was out sick today. SDUSD had thousands of absences yesterday. Probably even more today.
-
@sperte Was tough to watch. When not invested with either team, I’m usually happy to see a home team pull off an exciting win at the end like that. But we’ve seen enough of the Astros in the Postseason recently. Rooting for the Mariners.
-
@stop Wired’s 2002 redesign was a just small nudge in the bigger push forward to evolve the web’s purpose and utility.
I’m grateful I got to be a part of making it happen. And that my career didn’t end with that accomplishment. For me, Wired was only the beginning.
-
@AnthonyBaker I love that our work, process, and outcome was all out in the open for anyone to see and deconstruct. And we all learned from each other and built on each other’s discoveries and accomplishments.
-
@ded Did it not update? Or are you noting how patiently you’ve waited over the past 8 years for that notification?
-
@cameronmoll And you’ve found some success in writing consistently since then! Love it.
-
@lloydi @luxuryluke Never change, Ian!
-
@motherfuton Sorry – didn’t mean to be a downer. The discovery of new breakthroughs was a rush. I remember both sides of it. It was a roller coaster ride for sure, in more ways than one.
-
@simplebits Right back at you, Dan. I had just started to write my post when your book arrived last week. My thought then: “He already wrote, proofed, designed, illustrated, printed, and shipped this damn thing!” 😆 I nodded and smiled the whole way through reading it.
-
@motherfuton Absolutely. Thrilling is one word. Frustrating is another. Every time I write code now, I don’t take for granted how much easier it is to pull off whatever I want to achieve. Rarely am I fighting against browser support. (cough, IE6) And CSS is so much more powerful now.
-
@killnicole These are all so incredible. I love zooming in, slowly panning around, and getting lost in their beauty. 👏
-
@RealAlanDalton Thanks1 Here’s today’s update for the 20-year marker: stopdesign.com/archive/2022/1…
-
@stop Replaced by multiple designs many times over. Twenty years is so much time. And with internet years being like dog years, the early era of the web feels like another lifetime ago.
-
@stop Twenty years ago today, Wired launched a seminal redesign of its website that helped catapult forward web technology and what our industry understood as possible for commercial websites. stopdesign.com/archive/2022/1…
