And that’s all for Prague's public transport "screen series".

Everything everywhere all at once:

We spent a year building Basecamp 5, which launched last week. One phrase kept coming back to me throughout: Don't accept the premise.

But that may have also been because I was watching Taskmaster 😄

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

@PIDoficialni Až budete řešit tramvaj, zvážili byste mapku? https://t.co/s3v6RetqHK

Tram screen concept: List of stops with a map.
Quickly check where the tram goes. The map visually conveys the route, city district names or the river for easier orientation.

81 days ago, I placed a sticker on a paper container near my home in Amsterdam

I hate it when someone leaves empty Amazon boxes in front of a full paper container.

Is it because they don’t know where the next container is, or are they just too lazy to look for it?

I believed that if I could remove that friction, nobody would leave the mess. So I quickly designed a sticker in @figma and made an order on @stickermule

After posting it on reddit, many people called me naive or even stupid, and I was curious if they were right (I honestly thought that they probably were haha)

81 days after: it happened only once that a person left a paper box there. Before, it was all the time.

So I posted a little report on r/amsterdam reddit again, and someone from the city hall reached out that they might implement it city-wide 🤯

Lesson learned: never give up on your naive experiments 😀

What's this? Oh I see, Tallinn is presenting parts of a master plan for the future of northern district

[Marek Lumi @mareklumi]

Little tweaks here and there over time

[Marek Lumi @mareklumi]

The pace of change in Tallinn is wild

Also, it's quite common to reuse old parts of buildings for the new ones

Yep, emotional neglect, the overlooked wound that secretly runs our society, anywhere you look

[Nick Pattison @thenickpattison]

I’m starting to believe that a lot of high-performing entrepreneurs are driven by the same wound: a kid inside who was never enough, who learned to chase love through achievement.

My own younger self, especially the version of me who messed up in my 20s, I’ve been punishing him for years. Pushing him, grinding him, telling him he has to earn his worth.

Recently I started to heal that part. Told him he can finally relax.

But now I’m stuck with a strange question: if I’m not pushing that kid anymore…then how do I work? How do I create without turning self-pressure into fuel?

I’m trying to learn how to build from freedom, and spaciousness, not self-punishment. It’s incredibly difficult, but I have this sense it’s where my best work lives.

Similar enough so you understand you're on the same line. But distinctive enough so you know you're entering a specific station

The beauty of the Helsinki metro

Kivenlahti station (new Espoo extension from December 2022 / ALA Architects)

[Marek Lumi @mareklumi]

I love this metro station. When we're building something, can beauty matter too, not just the lowest cost?
