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.

I'm so happy I can just scroll and scroll and see art and silly one offs people post

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.

Totally agree. I ran out of characters.

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.

When you get 100% code coverage, but all your tests are like expect(true).to.eq(true) 😅

The longer I work online as a designer and dev, the more I gravitate toward using one screen. It feels more focused...less distracting and I get into flow easier — ˗ˏˋ rogie ˎˊ˗ (@rogie) Oct 30, 2024

@rogie I switched from a 3 monitor setup with an ultra wide to a single laptop, and I've never been more productive — Lost (@lostdoesart) Oct 30, 2024

I’m ready for the next design twitter beef can someone plagiarize a landing page or question the value of craft or something — Raffi Chilingaryan (@raffichill) Oct 30, 2024

You can reliably get invited to the many big-ticket events held across this nation if you constantly email & text everyone you’ve ever met. But that’s no way to live — Daniel Tenreiro (@TenreiroDaniel) Oct 29, 2024

@kefimochi A popular option is going from a big tech company to a small. A senior engineer in Big Tech can become a principle at small tech. Getting recommendations from people at the target company always helps. Knowing leadership at the target company helps a great deal. — JSONP （╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ (@palmerj3) Oct 29, 2024

In a surprising amount of conversations where I'm trying to understand why I don't agree with someone, I suddenly realise the other person doesn't think all people are equal. — Halli (@iamharaldur) Oct 29, 2024
