This isn't even "UX vs UI". It's "the purpose of the fucking thing" vs "it sounded cool in a stakeholder meeting"

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

This conference looks amazing! Can’t wait to see any videos they might release!

the more you learn about genAI, the less likely you're to use it!!! www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-a... I've repeatedly said in the past that meaningful change to the current disastrous reality is via combating big tech narrative & rhetoric and critical public awareness, which enables refusal/resistance

Hey Artem, curious if you ever get around to this one? If so, how did it go?

he says this cause he is more than ever reliant on AI usage for profitability; it seems that he needs shame people into using AI cause otherwise he won’t have *his* career

With the support for custom events, this library has finally become what I think type-safe event emitter should've always been in TypeScript. Check this out. github.com/kettanaito/...

Build. Measure. Learn. Long ago, the three phases lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the feature factory attacked. Only the Product Manager, master of all three phases, could stop it. But when the world needed him most, he was double-booked.

he's become a crybully basically "if I cry everybody thinks what I say is realer" manhood is broken, manhood is fundamentally broken. he's literally saying nothing: he's dancing around topics and avoiding real things he's cosplaying; he's cosplaying as meaningful And its very tragic

Hey @simonswiss.com, do you have any plans to update your Pro Tailwind courses for Tailwind v4? I need to upgrade a design system using v3, and I'd like to know how I should handle v4's different approach to config.

I've just signed up for this @playwright.dev course with the one and only @kettanaito.com. I'm excited to delve into advanced testing patterns and discuss common pain points. 🎭

📰 Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite APIs to help you design great test utilities. And to help you understand it, let's talk about flat tests and one glaring issue that they have... www.epicweb.dev/better-test...

Now we have text-box in CSS, understanding font metrics is even more important so you know what you’re trimming. This is a very handy little website that allows you to upload a font that you plan on using, along with a Google font picker. vertical-metrics.netlify.app

We've launched a new page that outlines what we're trying to do with open working projects and importantly, *why* we're doing it. This isn't the internet we want and we're going to do everything to make sure we're making things better, not chasing profit over anything. piccalil.li/support-picc...

It was unavoidable that this week I'd end up writing about Apple's latest blunder. But in the context of Figma's Sites bullshit and Shopify recasting designers as "artists" it's even worse than one OS making a stupid decision. The mission of UX is being changed: from making shit work, into branding

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

I just published a new blog post about two of my absolute favourite CSS tricks. ✨ www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/pa...

what if bad at make question?

maybe this will finally make us all collectively realize that these big tech companies are not very good at design. never have been. or (more likely), everyone will copy the inaccessible mess.

I've never seen Apple ship such a half-assed design. No, it being a developer beta doesn't excuse it. Do you want to tell me not a single person pointed out the elements are illegible? The border radii don't match? The accessibility is non-existent? Apple used to inspire 😔

The last two "big" announcements from Silicon Valley: 1) Figma sites: inaccessible mess 2) Apple Liquid Glass: inaccessible mess I can't actually remember the last time Silicon Valley came up with something that was actually good.

Same energy

Apple introduced Liquid Glass yesterday, so our designer @michaelarestad.bsky.social reimagined Storybook with Liquid Plexiglass 😅

Today, I'm excited to announce msw/playwright! This is a designated integration package for MSW to provide a better developer experience when mocking APIs in Playwright. Check it out. github.com/mswjs/playw...

This is some gorgeous work, inspiring stuff @bell.bz!

Allow me to show you the horrors I've introduced. If you've ever wondered what the @piccalil.li codebase looks like, this is the post (and video) for you.

A new post from the Course Brand Development project is here. Andy runs us through what a mess he's made in the past, how to rectify that mess and how to avoid being nerd-sniped to maintain a focus. piccalil.li/projects/cou...
