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

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

Realizing that “digital product designer” as an archetype is mostly extinct. Folks who are able to package technology in progressive ways. Instead we have ended with a rational archetype (born out of having to defend choices) and hyper specialists.— Tuhin Kumar (@tuhin) January 27, 2023

It’s surprising how useful screenshots have become, especially on mobile. The pixel layer is the lowest common denominator and ultimately will be the interoperable data layer, especially as AI gets better at operating on pixels.— Amjad Masad ⠕ (@amasad) January 26, 2023

What people don't realize is that this is the default state of housing in a market economy, and it's great for consumers.
