Companies are scrambling to get their design teams to move as fast as their now blazing fast engineering teams.
But lots of design doesn't lend itself to this type of compression.
It’s the insight you get on a walk.
The connection from another field.
The aha when using a product you love.
It could be that for some design work the answer isn't to speed up... but actually to slow it way down.

I have enough skills in my clause setup that I need something to help me remember them. Maybe we could call it a menu or something . And it would group things in a way that matched my mental model and helped me find things. I suppose you would call it an interface for the user.

@FonsMans I have a studio display and it’s delightful. Is it worth $2000k? Depends on how you personally value those delightful details, I think that’s the driver of polarizing views. Gruber does a better review than the verge imho https://t.co/4gnuUgNnXg

Dear apparel brands, I typically buy menswear. You know this. The email newsletter you signed me up for (with a dark pattern) will have much higher conversion if it contains menswear rather than womenswear. You're welcome.

@soren_iverson I think you have to zoom out. How many icons are in view? Does it look like a chocolate box of icons or is this the only set the use sees?

@rayarooo I've admired your work from afar for a while. FWIW, here's a story of one of my heroes, Alec Guinness, clearly experiencing imposter syndrome even at the height of his powers. https://t.co/kuOKZMhv49 – It happens to the best of us.
