@vanschneider Let me ask Claude about that and get back to you

One way to quickly tell the difference between a decent UI designer and an excellent UI designer:
Both designs may look superb initially, but view them at a 100% zoom level. The first one's designs will appear very large, while the latter will have the proportions down just right

Can’t believe I had to uninstall the Figma desktop app just to get my laptop functioning properly again.

Getting good at this.

Product Design is particularly affected by this.

[Ali Spittel @ASpittel]

When I teach people to code, I see a lot more people struggling with problem-solving than the code itself.

The ability to break a problem into smaller ones and then solve all of those smaller problems takes a lot of practice.

We are building an amazing Product Team at @OrfiumMusic. If you want to evolve your craft, make an impact, solve big problems, this is your opportunity!! #hiring #Athens #pm #spm

Today I joined @OrfiumMusic and I am really excited be part of this amazing team.

damn, detaching instances now have transaction fees 😳

I’ve been noticing it for a while, but my twitter feed is slowly getting filled with HOW TO tweets. This is definitely a change (evolution?) in its main usage.

[Fotis M @fomastich]

Well said,
step #2 would be to try to educate the wider team/org on this mentality.

UX designers should strive to become a master of iterations. Fall in love with the process, not the solution.

During a chat about craft & motion, @pacocoursey mentioned to me that the right click panel on macOS animates on close, but opens instantly. I was curious why, and explored some possibilities.

Crafted with @framer.

A classic example of task vs problem focus. Imagine if someone ran up to you and said "we need a fire extinguisher and help from the fire department" while meaning to say "my house is on fire, please help". As strange as it sounds irl, in work settings it is the norm.

[Pavel A. Samsonov @PavelASamsonov]

I see a lot of product managers and designers rushing into "we need a page with..."

Pages are just a container for your content. First determine what content you need, and then pick the most appropriate container.

[Fotis M @fomastich]

Oh yeah I had forgotten it was "work-life balance" for most people, but "work-life-traffic balance" for long distance commuters.

[Fotis M @fomastich]

I see coding tools are starting to make their way to mobile screens, like tablets. UI design tools are still lacking in this regard, but I believe that the need is there.

Did you know you can use the CSS clip-path property to create any Shapes? Here is a thread to explain it most beginner-friendly way,

I can not think of anything in a more desperate need for a user-centric redesign than maths in education.

[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

btw these large scary math symbols are just for-loops

[Fotis M @fomastich]

User testing one of the most rewarding and demanding parts of a designer's job. Yet it can be very hard for many designers to access due to the cost and time involved. It would be interesting to see how more designers can get access to such tools.
