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

not gonna die on this hill but with all the emergent technology we're experiencing right now, it feels like every single creative field is either morphing into or merging with game design— Eric Hu (@_EricHu) February 8, 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

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

i used to think self-promotion was a really icky concept & practice, until i realized that the actual self-centered thing is to believe that people will just flock to your work (based on talent/"merit") without you having to say anything about it/support readers in finding it— 兔兒神 (@chenchenwrites) January 21, 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. Turning aging homes into an investment vehicle by artificially constraining supply, the way it's done in the US and many other places, is extremely harmful. pic.twitter.com/J3sCihYJ0n— François Chollet (@fchollet) January 21, 2023

the thing lynch does better than anyone else in the history of cinema is play with gradients of reality, starting from an understanding that all film (like life itself) can be understood as dream, and so all film (like life itself) can feel real + unreal.
