@UltraLinx Think a few small tweaks would sort it. Upvote feels better top-aligned, maybe with a soft background or border so it’s less floaty. Bit of type size tuning and a light row border could make it feel more structured.

If you’ve used GitHub Copilot chat on https://t.co/qbjmHCElaJ recently, you may have noticed some new life breathed into the Copilot chat avatar with interactive 3D character animations. Let's do a deep dive 🧵on how we hacked it together for the front end 🤓’s out there…

Imagine hiring a designer that refuses to (or can't) design a social media ad or billboard if you needed one because "it's not their job."

If my team asked me to make a social media graphic, I'm in. If they ask me to make a billboard, I'm in.

Be a designer that can.

Having a Design Engineer (aka UX Engineer) on your team is a game changer. Attention to detail, product quality, velocity, all benefit from this hybrid role.

Yet most tech companies overlook the importance of having people that excel at “front-of-the-front-end” work.
