Depends on the font you are using, I suppose. Mine shows the triple equals as markedly distinct by using three parallel lines. But I take your general point...
No matter how much dev experience you have, you'll occasionally mess up your branch and panic-try random Git commands from the internet. The other day I just deleted all the files from the PR and my machine too.
Took me 1.5 years, but finally decided to calm myself by blocking some people on this platform who’ve been acting really weird after I came out as trans. Because I’m kinda starting to enjoy the ride here now and not gonna let those folks ruin it for me.
If I were to build a curriculum for Design for the problems we solve today, I’d include the following - Interface Craft - Motion Design - Prototyping - Systems Mapping & Information Architecture - Research & Experiment Methods - Data Literacy - Deconstructing Product Frameworks - AI infrastructure
Not a “technical skill”, but one I would say is invaluable as a designer that doesn’t get taught today is storytelling and presenting work and ideas. Almost 50% of the job is communicating ideas to others via decks, diagrams, etc., and most people usually learn on the job.
Advising all my old tech friends finding me here —I don’t post about CSS/JS, design systems, or accessibility much. I’m mostly Costa Rican plants, bugs, animals, & sunsets, with some politics mixed in now that I’m giving Twitter the bird. And we own a little market & deli now —so maybe food/recipes.
I made a thing!
I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev
It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃
Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
For whatever reason I can’t fully explain, this app is like a bunch of people hanging out, and Threads is like a computational simulation of people hanging out. Totally different moods.
Unfortunately all of my cooking photos will be poorly lit in this kitchen but I'm making chili to celebrate our new oven being delivered (after three months or so without one). Prepping!
When I’m not designing on Figma I’m designing and building my physical spaces … I’ve built the cabinets and shelves from scratch using birch plywood, so this weekend I’m painting the walls, and finalizing the small details
There are true gems hidden among the countless personal blogs scattered across the Internet. I wish there were a curated library with only great articles on a wide variety of topics—a kind of search engine stripped of all the clutter: no SEO gimmicks, no ads, just quality content.
Because I did something wrong in a previous life, I'm spending my Saturday afternoon reading the Industrial Strategy and, guys, can we just agree to have a moriatorium on "unleashed" and "unleashing" when talking about "the potential" of innovation?
DOGS ARE ON LEADS, INNOVATION IS NOT
Hello new followers. Lovely to see you all here.
You can mostly expect pet pics and silliness with the odd smattering of content-based waffling. If you want all the work stuff, head to: @contentdesign.london
To make my point, here’s a picture of my cat with a cobweb on his face. Silly sausage.
It’s out. My full interview.
Growing up poor with non- working parents. Wandering the streets of London on my own at 7. Struggling to fit in at school or anywhere else. Deciding to end my life… then not. Turning my life around at 32.
It’s a lot. Even for me. And I lived it!
