Her poems feel buoyant to read

TL;DR: We’re taking a longer term approach to building Dark. As part of this, we’ve made the difficult decision to shrink Dark’s team, and…

you will learn that your dad is an optimist, and I know you are reading this from a better moment.

Revision requires you to have faith in your own ability to improve your work. ​ Try something else. What if you give yourself that reward immediately, as a way to coddle your writer brain and help it along? If I let myself go sit outside with a seltzer and a book for 20 minutes (so decadent), it helps me feel like a functioning, healthy person who can sit down and read her terrible draft. ​ If I can forgive myself for being imperfect,

Today you find yourself guilty

Perhaps our motto as designers should then be this: Do no harm. Make things clear. And show us the future.

each kindness \ reaching toward another

Perfectionism is the inability to let your expectations go.

Every time it’s a new thing.

SwiftUI Blend Mode Cheat Sheet. See what the various blend modes look like when used with the three primary colors.

Functional optics, like lenses and prisms, are incredible tools for manipulating data structures in a declarative and composable way. Let’s take a deep dive into functional optics in Swift. In this talk we’ll explore more optic types than just Lens and Prism, and unlock their ability to compose at multiple levels. We’ll then leverage composition to operate on complex data structures, avoid Optional handling with the Affine optic, and explore more sophisticated usages that go beyond data manipulation.

start a team playlist. the best adventures have soundtracks. ​ write down everything as it happens, in real time—because the best adventures have storytellers, and what are startups if not stories? ​ spend everyday thankful that this tiny collection of extraordinary humans came into your life when you didn't know that they would be exactly what you needed.

That’s a clunky way of saying “when something is different, make it look different.” The best designers, in my opinion, take this to heart and don’t use too many variants to make those differences as clear as possible.

Our daily work might be filled with tasks but we should understand and remind our teams of the purpose and long term goals of our work. You don't need to save every feature request or piece of feedback. Important ones will resurface and low priority ones will never get fixed. get to know your users and ask them to explain why they want a specific feature so you find out their needs. Solve the problem – don’t just build the feature.

I had in Gym Jones speak, blown up. Only by slowing down, reunderwriting my goals, refining my priorities, and refocusing on being efficient with my efforts did I find my bearings. Like my experience on the AirDyne, the focus on efficiency had a material positive impact on my output.

Style Check is like having a personal editor-in-chief on your device, carefully reviewing your text for redundancies, clichés and filler words as you type. It's simple, different, powerful, and available for Mac, iOS, Windows and Android.

and every door in the breathing house bumps softly for unlike us it does not resent its faithfulness or question why, for what, how long?

but the mathematical envelope, which is defined as “the locus of the ultimate intersections of consecutive curves.”

You can’t change the time of the body. It needs time to get into something, and it will do things at its own pace. That in itself is a radical statement in the world we live in, where everything’s changing at an insane pace. When I started contemporary dance, my teacher was making us dance away from [the mirror]. Then you realize, it was all about my feelings within what I do, that is the key answer to dancing, and not what I look like. It’s funny—I can have that love for someone else, but I also have to find the strength [to give] that love for myself. I did that for other choreographers, too—just write them, tell them, “The reason why I love your work is this, this, this and this.” And I found choreographers like that. First, it’s very nice when someone tells you I like you—it’s a bit like the beginning of a good date.

Readers are going to remember two major things when they walk away. The beginning and the end. it’s important to get eyes on whatever you’re working on, from someone who has a little distance from it.
