there's a detail in linear where it takes a second for a tooltip to open
but once it's open other tooltips immediately show
no one asked for this feature, it doesn't drive revenue - but if you claim to be committed to quality this is what you do, no questions asked

Whenever I see a UI like this I sigh: because I can tell whoever built it is an dev who doesn't care about their craft much.The card type can be inferred from the first few digits of any card, using a regex. It's a neat (and fun!) thing to code + makes for more pleasant UX. pic.twitter.com/a4aqSrZgOD— Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz) January 31, 2024

If your company’s OKRs are primarily business outcome oriented, how do you get UX improvements prioritized that don’t move a business metric?— Pat Bergstresser (@PatThePM) June 3, 2023

“There’s a spicy article to be written about how much better videogames are doing at accessibility than consumer/enterprise tech. Look at Naughty Dog shipping fast follow improvements to what is already widely heralded as the most accessible AAA title of all time!”

LLMs are highly non-deterministic, which presents a huge design challenge: we've never built non-deterministic software, it's always been based off of branching logic and restricted options (hence: the GUI)— Neal Khosla (@nealkhosla) February 25, 2023

Something tells me that it being promoted into a way of assessing “profile quality” by recruiters who have no design knowledge or time to talk to candidates has certainly not helped.— Ana (@dingbats__) September 18, 2022

I prefer the simplest way to deliver a desired effect. I don’t say that I need springs and complex timings, because they might not be the best solution for the task. What is the best solution? The excerpt describes how I approach that question. tl;dr Design is how it works. pic.twitter.com/ayEosvACOi— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) September 17, 2022

Some people think UX design is just doing the facilitation or research work like personas and empathy mapping, etc. etc. and there are lots of bootcamps which teach only those things.— Helen Tran (@tranhelen) September 10, 2022

Steve Troughton-Smith on Twitter - fixes for stage manager in iPadOS 16 beta
I think my preferred way to fix window placement/resizing on iPad’s Stage Manager is to not do any of the ‘smart’ repositioning or grid-snapping when interacted with via mouse/trackpad. I get how that could be nice with finger interaction, but I do not want it at all with a mouse— Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) August 20, 2022
