@dhh Thank you for sharing. This has renewed my drive to progress my career. It would be incredibly helpful to read follow-up pieces from your designers discussing their journeys to reach this level of code and design literacy in their careers.
@nickjbasile Thanks Nick. The reason I was asking is that I was planning to spend an extended amount of time off work learning the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, JS, and React. However, your point that this would take away time I could spend honing my design skills has put a spanner in the works
@nickjbasile Hey Nick, after completing this course, do you offer any resources for students who want to deepen their understanding of the course material? For example, would you provide guidance on how to learn coding if a student discovers an affinity for it while taking the course?
@tylermcginnis Do you recommend this course to product designers who have a beginner-level understanding of HTML and CSS, and want to comprehend and contribute to the implementation of their designs in code?
@_hraymond @itspatmorgan Thank you so much for your replies. I'd love to hear about your journey from BA to design technologist, Hugo. I'll send you a DM
@itspatmorgan Hi there! I have two questions for you: Did you begin your career as a developer or a designer? Also, I was wondering if you could share any advice on how to transition from being a designer to a design technologist? Thanks so much!
The RBA has tightened, hard.
Retail sales (trend) still booming.
Inflation still way too high.
Stage 3 tax cuts still planned.
If you can't see a problem, you're not looking.
Our economy (and society) is very imbalanced, and getting worse.
The reason I bring this up is because I want all software to be high quality. One way to do that is to make it so the base level of all software matches what we know is table stakes for quality.
An example is performance: 99% of software should be instant.
Styles like flat design are less interesting to some designers, but also easier to get right, which means the chance of more people producing beautiful interfaces is higher.
People should celebrate styles like this, even if they personally prefer to use something more complex.
