I love #designsystems, #creativecoding, #modularsynths, #chess, #videogames, and #motorsport.

I think when people hear “minimal” in MVP they interpret that to mean “shit” rather than “narrow in scope”. They gloss over “viable” almost entirely, leading to a belief that MVP is short hand for “a shitty version of the product”.

@miggi Building a common language about a product actually helps working with others. Ambiguity leads to misunderstandings and reduce efficiency.

@skuwamoto @figma Not really. I wish they would support auto layout so you don’t constantly have to nudges frames as flows evolve.

@MercedesAMGF1 @MercedesAMG @amgmotorsport Around the block.

@figma @jlvnbs This should be the default in my opinion.

@Spotify Glenn Gould.

@nikolasklein @figma Applicable to GIFs too.

@chesscom Art, science, sport.

@disco_lu Thinking about how this would be implemented in HTML might help finding the appropriate name, which in this case would be radio buttons.

I’ve tweeted a lot of late on why designers make poor strategists. Here’s a quick thread on why designers make excellent strategists 🧵

@Ableton Another LFO’s frequency.

@skuwamoto Watch Drive to Survive on Netflix. Not into F1? You’ll probably still enjoy the drama.

@skuwamoto Have you tried meditating? @Headspace

[Jean-Simon Robert-Ouimet @AntiMars86]

@uxdesigncc The feeling that we’re all on the same page.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

I’ve never felt comfortable with the “Five Whys” approach to identifying problem root causes.

Let me tell you why.

The approach is that you ask why 5 times.

The first why gets you a immediate cause of the problem.

The 2nd tells you what causes that immediate cause.

@uxdesigncc Having a coffee.

@skuwamoto @figma I wish the new text property would support some formatting options, like lists and links.

[Jean-Simon Robert-Ouimet @AntiMars86]

@HonzaTmn @figma I would add, why not turn it into a color style you can configure on any new file?

[Jean-Simon Robert-Ouimet @AntiMars86]

@skuwamoto @figma Showing/hiding layers as a component property is very useful; I wish it was extended to borders too.

@DougCollinsUX Make friends with developers on your team. Help them understand the why behind every decision you make, small or big. You can do as much research and prototyping as you want, if it doesn’t translate into the actual product people use, you’ve wasted time and energy.
