@jstn This is the thing I’m confused about wrt the breathless gushing over systems that lack any conceptual logic or metaphors upon which to anchor one’s brain. 100% fluid kaleidoscopic pixel streaming or w/e might be fun but our need for solid ground to stand on hasn’t changed at all

@joshpuckett @asallen Effects pedals as a category, each one a little world constructed for a singular purpose

@joshpuckett I’ve been training for this my entire life

@kaseyklimes Aha! I was sure I had it with those reds, nice emulation anyway

@asallen @notboring Love the knurled / scalloped manual focus ring detail!

@immad Have you read Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota series? Unbelievably rich societal / cultural evolution thought experiment. Entertaining novels too!

@EightTwo_Three I love honing a craft and getting reps in, but in practice a _lot_ of creative work boils down to drudgery in service of a vision. Is it noble drudgery that infuses the work with meaning? Perhaps. IMO too often it’s just dumb labour at the maker’s expense.

[Adam Saint @adamjsaint]

@immad Nah you’ve got the perfect voice for this!

@PRBG_Aesthetics Gorgeous environments! Those blended background transitions are so lovely.

@coyleandrew My goodness that’s beautiful, how does one go about collecting such things?

@adamwathan - extremely fast prototyping of views, as close as you can get to sculpting interfaces directly in the browser
- a lot of intelligent, systematized defaults baked in from the start of a project
- probably the best available docs for practical CSS in general

[Adam Saint @adamjsaint]

@asallen @notboring Ah man, you can feel the joy coming off of them 😌

[Adam Saint @adamjsaint]

@immad @maiab Agree with Maia, IMO the interface and results are better designed for a search-like experience; source attributions and autogenerated related questions are handy while researching a topic

@JJOlaf87 You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket, the day’s not over and we’re pushing 4.2

@kaseyklimes You’re probably wise to it already but Ursula Franklin’s ‘89 CBC Massey Lectures “The Real World of Technology” has some profound riffs on this topic

@darrinhenein Well done Darrin!
