[1/7] For the last 6 months, while searching for a Spotify alternative, I’ve tried all the streaming services, slowly writing a blog post about my experience with each. Now that post is finally live! And here’s a brief thread if you’d like the main points summarised. (Views are my own, obviously.)

“The value was never really about how many components were in the library. It was always about all the knowledge and decisions your team built up over time…” #designsystems medium.com/@rahul.rajwa...

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

The official launch event for The AI Resist List is finally here, and you can join in person or online! The airesistlist.org has met a seemingly urgent public need for examples of ways communities around the world are moving against extractive AI and exploring more equitable technology futures.

Here's my full interview with CNBC, covering my bear case against generative AI, OpenAI's questionable finances, AI's lack of ROI, and how all of this is a symptom of the tech industry running out of hypergrowth ideas. It's great to see the mainstream media discussing this. youtu.be/TtmPccUTDP8?...

“Building a design system is not a milestone. It is not something you finish and move on from. It is ongoing work that compounds over time when you treat it seriously and decays rapidly when you do not.” #designsystems medium.com/@sicarlos/wh...

“An unowned design system does not stay frozen in a good state, things change all the time, and the gap between the system and the codebase widens until the system is no longer trustworthy and people just copy whatever is nearby instead.” #designsystems #ai mandy.dev/posts/design...

“UFC Freedom 250” on the white house lawn on his own birthday is not the first time trump has invited a crowd to dc to watch people get the hell beaten out of them. at least this time there’s a ticket and 494 port-a-potties i guess. #clownShow #whatAreWeDoing #ufc

All I want for Christmas is a president who's as effective as Mamdani. I would actually give up all my Christmas presents forever.

“A design system isn’t a design artifact, but an organizational one. The components are what you can see, whereas the system is what produced them.” #designsystems dlslead.com/post/ai-desi...

A few weeks ago, I talked about AI and its impact, and the uncertainty it's causing. It was a bit downbeat. I thought it would be a good idea to make something with a bit more of an uplifting message as a follow-up. Of course it hit a new audience and all the haters have shown up in the comments 😅
