The @MTA needs a campaign on all the amazing things that happen on the subway: strangers helping with directions, someone picking up your dropped glove, the whole car applauding for a particularly talented husker, kids thrilled to be riding the train, 1/— Sara Lind (@saraklind) February 24, 2023

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

It’s monochromatic to reflect a lithograph, vintage considering the crosshatching strokes to shade. Everyone else is right - I’d say this is vintage-poster-1940s Americana & Mid-Century style without abstract shapes. And the lettering adheres to 1930s.Aka IONO VINTAGE 🤷‍♂️— freshletters (@freshletters_) February 22, 2023

1. HOW TO WRITE HORROR FOR TV. (A thread!) I've said a lot of things on the topic of scary movies, but what about scary TV shows? For the most part, everything I've posted about movies carries over, the obvious difference with TV is how you use TIME to your advantage.— Seth M Sherwood (@SethMSherwood) February 18, 2023

There are multiple disconnected and connected systems that seem to make up the foundation for the scary western narrative of the "Social Credit Score" and the nearest to the truth might be the app/program one engages with while trying to enter or as a member of the Communist… https://t.co/FPtMQCe8OX— ⚓ American McGee 🏴‍☠️ (@americanmcgee) February 19, 2023

New typography structure for 2.0. Getting rid of auto-responsive styles in favor of more granular manual control of how they change at each viewport.

#BlackRock is the sign of a sick economy. “[T]he world’s largest asset management company is revolutionizing finance by investing in capitalism itself.” https://t.co/hf3bEEpw7aHow are they doing this & why is it a problem?

Big tech interviews are so much overkill compared to the job. Engineers spend weeks on leetcode only to be asked to create a button in a UI. Product managers memorize product sense frameworks only to schedule meetings and ask lawyers if it’s OK to ship a feature (it’s always no).— Dare Obasanjo (@Carnage4Life) February 16, 2023

An increasingly difficult part about "discourse" and participating in it is that many writers literally cannot read — they can't parse what a text actually says, and instead project their own convenient distortion in order to justify whatever grievance keeps them awake at night https://t.co/Xqpk7JZXFl— Jeremy Gordon (@jeremypgordon) February 15, 2023

Photography is the nicest way to start with graphic design. Instead of starting with a blank canvas and filling it with pixels, you look for pixels and hang your canvas around it. The grammar is the same. And if you’re seeing this the one tool you need is in your hands. pic.twitter.com/WAlz2u6aRL— abhinit ابھنت (@abhinitial) February 10, 2023

1. advance the plot; 2. deepen a character; 3. exemplify the genre (comedy- get a laugh; horror- have a scare, etc.); 4. build the world. So a scene between people, existing as people, int he world they live in, INSIDE your story, is legit even if there's not a plot point. BUT--— Seth Sherwood (@SethMSherwood) February 4, 2023

Maybe for some designers, but for the best of the best, we are artists. We are innovating, solving problems, and making art. If you go into design to make money for someone else's business, you are missing out on the art of design. https://t.co/A4uTz0nPVk— Bonnie Kate Wolf (@bonniekatewolf) January 31, 2023
