Does anyone have recommendations for a good basic 3d printer? We have had a shocker of a quality experience with bambuulab, which used to be so good, so anything not that brand ?

I found a content debt template on the org's confluence and my heart is full ♥️🌈 The deep institutional memory is like having a friend. It's nice not to feel alone in the work.

I thought Matthew Perry was very good in West Wing. And New Vegas.

yes.

Technology decisions are not neutral says @annaecook.com #AxeCon. Is AI actively solving a problem or are we designing a problem that needs a soltuon? AI without consent is not personalisation, it's coercion. AI didn't end determinism, it exposed it.

Woo! Today is the first day of axe-con. So many talks on AI. So many times I want to scream. Because why are we only thinking about ethics, safety, and accessibility now? AI is already out and causing havoc. You can't made blueberry muffins by shoving blueberries into a baked plain muffin.

I would only have accepted a CSS hot take in 2013 that were actionable and I'll be applying the same standards for AI hot takes. No more puff pieces or hyperbole pls 🌟

And I say again

Now that 1920 pixels isn't enough for 2 docs next to each other with full UI, you might as well have 1600 and get the desk space back. Follow me for more of whatever this is I guess.

Anyone up to date with accessible - to authors - content management systems? Last time I checked, Craft CMS seemed to be the only one taking it seriously, but that was 5 years and at least 3 global crises ago. Double points if you have access needs and have a hot take 🌟

A good week 🌈🌟 pairing sessions with our fab interaction designer, iterating a save and return feature with feedback from user testing. Been recording the problems we are solving and the design aims. Want to get better at this in case I work somewhere with lower levels of trust or understanding.

My only regret is that my old team removed "shanked" from the column header of the planning board before I could get it set up on a new one - pour one out, ladz

A prototype information product becomes a real one if it's reliable and safe for users. Used to be a close assocation with fidelity, but that's gone now. Beware people parading fancy, vibe coded wares as anything other than a design hypothesis. It's an accountability sink draped in delusion.

shame virginia isn't here to see 😞

Talking to users can feel uncomfortable. But some things are more important than design teams feeling comfortable - like finding out what what's it's like for people who use and depend on your service.

Team docs, 2 mental models... 1. Writing team docs: I want people to understand everything. 2. Reading other team's docs: please front load, limit scope and provide a clear chain of evidence if I want more detail - there is no way I can understand everything all at once.

In 2010, I couldn't sleep. I needed a break. I booked a single room in a best Western in Eastbourne. I read. I walked along the coast. I had a chippy tea. And, at 8.30pm, I started watching Predator on the TV. By 9pm I was ready to sleep. And it was the best sleep I'd had in months.

It was so exciting to watch 'CSS3' and HTML 5 emerge as standards. I devoured every cross platform possibility. And responsive design was so cool - a layering of techniques that got back to the roots of the web.

It's never been easier to create small, weird and beautiful websites with HTML and CSS yet the economy and infrastructure of the web has never been less amenable? Just my vibes. Please share lovely weird projects 🙏 🌈
