@LuisBizarro @shampliu What’s your take with SEO if you plan to move everything into the canvas?

[Dan Heywood @HeyDanDesign]

@LuisBizarro I've seen yourself and @AristideBenoist mention Rust for your frontend builds. I'd love to understand what it is exactly that is making you guys choose Rust.

@pizzaboy @SunLife What’s interesting is the change from Sun Life to Sunlife.

@edankwan It's funny cause it's clear as day where the "inspiration" has come from. "copy this, but try not to make it too obvious".

[Mike Smith @mikesmith187]

I think 99% of design is just about commitment to the bit. Like if your brand is kinda weird just lean in and own it.

It’s the wishy washy middle managers that eventually cause the downfall of a brand.

Conviction is everything.

@javiiarchive Is this in a repo with other prompts/settings or skills? There’s defo a style here that is being applied

The "iced coffee to an interview" thing is such a good case study in Gen Z not being able to pick their battles

Everything has to be some dramatic example of oppression or ableism or "corporate overlords" instead of...just the way things are

You don't wear white to someone else's wedding, you leave a tip when it's customary to do so, these are just social conventions that make you not look rude

An iced coffee doesn't matter that much to you as the interviewee. You will survive going 1 hour without an Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso

But it COULD matter to the person interviewing you. Why risk it? Why die on that hill?

You may think it's a poor proxy for professionalism, you may think a good employer wouldn't care

But if someone tells you "Hey, this is not universally acceptable, it could risk your success," and you insist on doing it to make a point, that's your own dang fault

My problem with this is I like seeing the percentage number of my remaining battery life. How does that fit into this?

[ldt @madeby_ldt]

I don't like this new battery/cellular/Wi-Fi status icon on #iPhoneDuo. It doesn't feel familiar, and it looks too cluttered.
