Gonna do a lil Q&A video about the course. If you're wondering what the fuck it's all about and have some specific questions, ask away, and I will answer them in front of a camera in a transparent attempt to market the course at people who have not yet bought the course.

Get in losers, we’re grieving

in case you're not sure who dhh is, he's a danish counterstrike player and race car owner who writes essays like "i am smarter than you" and "foreigners bad" rich enough not to worry about consequences but at the very same time, still desperate for status, a man two friends short of a podcast

Pre-orders are now open until September 30. You can get Mindful Design for only £149, which is £100 cheaper than the full price and the cheapest it'll be (without PPP). Don't miss out.

It’s not just a course for designers either. Front-end developers who have an interest in learning design get to do exactly that, but at a much deeper level than making things just look good at a surface level.

With Mindful Design, you’re not only going to really learn how the brain works and how to design an equitable, genuinely helpful experience for users. You’re also going to learn how to apply that by learning practical, transferable design skills that will elevate your work beyond recognition.

Did you see that we've released 2 new sessions on 2025.ffconf.org? That's TWO more reasons to attend!

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

hey friends come over for dinner yeah i actually am a grown adult who can't make a salad dressing myself but somehow i knew what ingredients to buy. oh also i can't read. no it's ok these glasses will tell me how to do it. oh wait maybe they won't. no it's definitely the wifi. yeah it's the wifi.

hiya. figma is a fucking terrible source of truth. if you're building one of the 142,000 AI-powered design system tools out there right now, binding your 'truth' to a proprietary file format in a proprietary platform from an org that’s showing some shaky signs is just extremely Not The Way™.

there are people out there who spend a non-zero percentage of their lives trying to 'get traction' by engagement farming on linkedin and honestly i think this might be one of the saddest factors of modern human existence

got myself in on this because I'd happily pay £149 to watch @scott.is read me the shipping forecast, but actually also getting to learn something in the process? absolute top-tier bargain

Everything is stressful and everything sucks but the world is vast, with much space for hope in it. For example, my beloved nephew is safe in his new home and crowdfunding for gender-confirming care, if you had a bit of spare cash and wanted to chip in ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-li...

is there a decent no-code (not AI vibe coding bullshit) solution for back-end stuff? everything i see is front-end and i can kinda see why, but i like front-end code and despise back-end. would be more than happy to just connect lil rectangles to make back-end blueprints and still code html & css.

some absolute weapons have been lashing st george flags up on lampposts near ours. they've obviously not splashed out because they've all turned pink in the rain. now it's just sad droopy splotchy pink flags hanging half mast from lampposts. like a death vigil for mr blobby. proper british values.

Nice of DHH to stop with the walk-back-able dog whistles and just come out and say the quiet stuff out loud. At least now there's an easy link to prove he's a fucking melt. This trend of early days tech folks just outing themselves as massive pieces of shit is a fun timeline.

Pre-orders for Mindful Design are available now. Get a pre-order copy for £149, saving £100 off the full price of £249 for two weeks only. Pre-orders close again after September 30

This course is a great investment. @scott.is cuts through all the corporate bullshit to teach design that matters for the real humans who use your products.

I saw @scott.is speak on this topic several years ago and more recently at @londonwebstandards.org and this is an absolute bargain for such great expertise.

the new macOS looks absolutely horrific. pls just give me something like material 3 design language on top of the hyper-optimised-smooth-interaction-gestures-that-actually-make-sense layer that makes it an actual good OS.

Remember when the internet was weird, fun, and full of fan-made magic? In her talk at #btconf Berlin, @sachajudd.com dives into fandom roots, DIY creativity, and how we can escape algorithms to reclaim a more authentic, joyful web. beyondtellerrand.com/events/berli...

Just treated myself this lovely sounding course by @scott.is over there at @piccalil.li … piccalil.li/mindful-design

PREORDERS ARE LIVE YOOOOO £149 is ridiculous value, if I can be so bold to say about my own shit. Dozens of hours of content and exercises, a deep dive into every aspect of product design, and you get to stare at my face for the duration. Get on it xoxo

i think zuckerberg might be right. a certain group of people will champion ai glasses, and luckily for them all the science points to semen retention boosting mental focus.

last time it was 'all-black wardrobe all the time' weather i weighed 25kg more than i do now. goth shopping spree incoming.

The Microsoft return to office mandate is absolutely a stealth layoff to offset AI costs. Prove me wrong.

BBC website leads with live coverage of the Kirk murder and 4 articles. Former President of one of the biggest democracies in the world, Brazil, being sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting a coup? One piece placed after Kirk. Simply embarrassing prioritisation for a major news organisation.

i hope whoever decided autoplaying videos should be a thing has a really bad week

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

new @faetooth.bsky.social is album of the year. decade. century. whatever. it's the best shit i've ever heard. i can't get it off repeat. just fucking unreal from start to finish (and back to start again) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAom...

Folks who ordered Design For Real Humans t-shirts to Europe who haven't received: A few got sent back to me because I fucked up customs. Twice. I've now sent them out and covered all customs and VAT so you don't have to pay anything on arrival. Sorry for being unprepared and shit at this stuff 🫶

new La Dispute is fucking unreal lads

think this is the best WDC lineup in the history of WDC which is pretty impressive considering how consistently fucking great it's been. webdevconf.com

I might be known for doing web or JS stuff, but did you know to mix things up, I'm giving a 15min talk at webdevconf.com on "how to fix a gameboy"…because we all need a bloody break from stupid computers. I'm sure there's much more clever talks, but tickets are just £100 in October. So come along.

my phone contract being up right as apple force liquid glass on us has to be a sign. the gulf in design quality between new ios and material 3 is ridiculous.

Scott has an important message about Mindful Design (piccalil.li/mindful-design ) for you www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik0a...

@bell.bz green screen setup working sound now mate x

happy new @faetooth.bsky.social day to all those who celebrate xxx

you uh 🕵️ you heard about zen browser

Atlassian acquiring The Browser Company is hilarious and weird and I'm sad that one of the only good browsers is going to die. Do I have the energy to build a stripped down Arc? Is this my inflection point on the inevitable tech journey of 'become a farmer' or 'build a browser'?

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

This paragraph is brutal.

Even worse, there are logs of neo-Nazi chatrooms where they’ve explicitly discussed using trans people as a “thin end of the wedge” for a wider attack ok LGBTQ rights.

TERFdom is a death cult not a political stance. we should not be treating these people with respect or decency. there is no good faith debate with people who are devoid of good faith. you cannot 'two sides' when one side is just 'i use made-up science to justify a crusade against vulnerable people'.

if you think your product needs 'streaks' what it actually needs is a better product team. hope that helps xxx
