My son was brutally beaten by some students while on the @OC_Transpo bus heading home from @merivalehs.

A student filmed the fight and put it online. I’m trying to find the video.

I’m also calling on @merivalehs to deal with this issue and to prevent my son from being bullied.

@grigomcmahon I haven’t found one yet. Most of the twitter designery people that I found back on mastodon use https://t.co/DWVpXSTiXm. If you find one, I’d like to know

@seriald Kinda what ended up happening. Dialed it back a couple notches and sent it.

[Francis Beaudet @f_beaudet]

I find myself again at the point where I am writing an email that I will likely not send. But writing it is very cathartic.

So, here's an example of following the design system blindly.

The sign says "Stop has moved" in an arrow. The arrow is from the branding for the transit authority. The arrow points right because consistency with branding.

Guess where the bus stop actually moved.

Is it weird to be the kind of person that was eagerly waiting for the “find out” phase of the “fuck around and find out” cycle.

Instead of keeping a backlog of features (solutions), try keeping a backlog of problems. That way you can prioritize the impact of the problem, instead of prioritizing how easy it is to build the solution 💡

@janemarusaik Always is

This is what I feel like when I'm told that we can fix the UI with WalkMe.

SO ITS A SYSTEM OF SMALL INTERLOCKING PLASTIC BRICKS WHICH CAN BE USED TO BUILD CREATIONS OF ANY KIND THE POSSIBILITIES OF THESE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BUILDING BRICKS IS ONLY LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION AND YOUD BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH SATISFACTION YOULL FIND FROM CLICKING THEM TOGETHER

[Francis Beaudet @f_beaudet]

WalkMe is not a solution, it's a symptom.

It’s becoming less attractive every day to work for an American company if I have to travel there.
