To be clear: I’m talking about the disconnect between what I hoped we’d be creating by now (animated/dynamic transitions between screens in focused, native-like UIs) vs what I see in the SPAs I use (crappy reproductions of server rendered UI and <a/>)

I still want the first.

Pro tip: Make positive comments in code reviews as well.

Nothing says “having trouble with digital transformation” as when your main website is www2.domain

Advice to every online creator: own your distribution.

Build a simple personal website.

Email is — by far — the best place to build an audience.

In software, ‘no’ is temporary, but ‘yes’ is forever.

Would you declare

* {cursor: none;}

No? Then don’t declare

a:focus {outline: none;}

For exactly the same reasons.

📣 PERSONAL NEWS: I was “made redundant” at work today, and am now actively on the job market. If you have a lead on a UX design management role around Boston, or remote, I’m all ears! DM’s open.

UnPHPular Opinion:

! $variable is wrong 99% of the time.

empty( $variable ) is usually what you want.

! is for Boolean comparisons – true/false

empty() is for checking if a variable is non-empty, non-zero, or is not set.

I hear no one whining that it wasn’t “sharp enough” in the theater

Someone combined John Bolton with Michael Bolton and I can’t unsee it

Please give me the option to turn off AMP entirely. I never need to be given the AMP version of anything.

Dropbox in 2007 could not have been simpler: it was just a folder. You put files in it, they showed up everywhere else. 2019 Dropbox is a confusing mess of feature bloat waiting to be disrupted by a product that does 90% less stuff. twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status…
