But since this is a new beginning, I'm also trying to be less of a lurker and more of a contributor, for better or worse. Not good at it at all but I'm trying my best. Oh, now I'm following new strangers & half of them so far been cool/interesting. Over there my list was devs only and feeling rot

All the good people that I care to follow are here. X feels chaotic, full of ads, buggy, NSFW spams, etc. It feels a bit calmer here, less rage. Look, I'm mostly a lurker (sorry), I follow y'll because I care and like what you posts. And if y'll feel better here and my part is to just join? I'm in!

I like them. They are pretty 🤷

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.

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) 😅

My SEO efforts seem to slowly start working! 📈 ...and I just realized half of my pages aren't indexed because I forgot to put them on the sitemap lol #buildinpublic https://t.co/WpPTuV5vnV — Tim (@timkonie) Oct 31, 2024

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
