@hobdaydesign @mattaningram @jstn if the designer made someone say that, they weren’t being constrained when they designed the thing in question

@mds Thanks, still haven't had a chance to play with the new UI. From here it looks like 1) small microinteraction improvements 2) overall IA mess (merging the avatar/play/share button with the details panel makes.. no sense?). Not sure it's a win overall? 🤷‍♂️

@kmumsan @gleb_sexy Fr the way the "home", "community" and "figma" buttons are laid out is a hot mess. And uh, I can't have projects in the left menu anymore? Oh, I need to "star" everything? Great. 🤔

[David Oudiette @davidoudiette]

@hobdaydesign @Superthread_ What makes them « core » here, though, as opposed to being basic/generic interactions used to *implement* the core mechanics? Seems confusing. Core mechanics implies some amount of domain specific semantics, I think.

[David Oudiette @davidoudiette]

@valvis_earth @simonsarris Sure you can. That seems like a misreading of the video, that shows not so much precision as *control* over all the variables of a process, that gives more room for exploration. You can make more mistakes with a complex process than a simple one.

@mds @figma So much goodness in the new updates 🤌

@t15_ventures @mijustin That genre of tweet can't die early enough.

@jhong @mijustin Literally true of anything being built ever in the history of mankind.

@alexeyguzey That's part of a larger pattern that comes from the "tech"/SV mindset that considers means separately from ends. Tech people focus on building "general purpose" capabilities/optionality but have no idea what to apply them to.

@DrewCoffman Now let’s talk about how you can use fluid ounces to measure volumes that aren’t fluids.

@alanklement It’s reached peak cargo cult.

[David Oudiette @davidoudiette]

@spakhm Picture a blank slate and gradually add information about what you’re building. Try to see with each addition what *is* there vs what you’re *assuming* is there.

@shahahmed @MightyApp Would be more convincing if Dropbox wasn’t the single go to example people keep mentioning, though. How many dumb forgotten ideas were actually dumb and called out for it? You’ll always find someone to dunk on an idea. That’s not a litmus test for success.

@visakanv I feel like modes are *also* simpler on guitar. Just start the scale on a different degree and shift it. Still just need to know 1 shape.

[David Oudiette @davidoudiette]

@visakanv is no one going to mention figs while we're at it?

@derek_j_morris What that says about us is that tech journalism is mostly terrible / not doing its job.
