Here's a gift link to the New York's Times' timeline of Homeland Security's killing of Alex Pretti. It shows clearly what actually happened and makes it abundantly clear that the Trump regime is lying to cover up a murder.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal governmentâs account of the event.

Why are we hiring so many designers? I analysed 256 design system roles. The ratio of designers to engineers was telling. In my last team, we deliberately ran the inverse. If the biggest value comes from code, are we building design systems or just designing them?

Is There Too Much Design in Design Systems?
Why are we hiring so many designers? Most design system roles are design-focused, but the biggest value comes from code. Are we building design systems, or just designing them?

There's going to need to be an exhaustive litigation of the many, many laws that are being broken. Big boy/girl sentences need to be doled out. And it'd probably be worth revisiting how pardons work while we're at it.

Man, if you thought naming in design systems already was important, it's only going to get more so from now on. Seeing how much LLMs assume/project meaning to something based on its name is *bonkers*.

Hey
@figma.com
, explain to me why certain REST API features are only available behind the Enterprise pricing tier. Explain why we have to pay more per license for a feature that obviously will not be used by more than 1-2 people in an org. Why can't this be an add-on feature paid independently?
