I love it when one of my bosses says, gently, “I’m gonna call bullshit on that, and here’s why” and it’s delivered with trust AND they are right AND you get a fresh perspective. 🥰

Von Schießbefehlen über „Vogelschiss“ bis hin zu „alimentierte Messermänner“ – die Rhetorik von AfD-Politiker*innen ist immer wieder geprägt von bewusster Provokation und Grenzüberschreitung, von Menschenfeindlichkeit und NS-Relativierung: https://t.co/IRjbcHa8vX

Hunderte Menschen in Todesangst in einem hauptsächlich von Vietnames*innen bewohnten brennenden Haus – niemand kommt zur Hilfe. Davor tobt der rassistische Mob. Das ist vor 31 Jahren in #Rostock-#Lichtenhagen in der Nacht zum 25. August 1992 geschehen.

Felt really sad waking up and seeing “RIP Kevin” in my timeline. I doubt there is a more well known name in our industry but if he’s unfamiliar to you (or you haven’t read this book), go and grab “Ghost in the Wires” which is an exceptional read.

Kevin started regularly coming to the Gold Coast about 6 years ago. I first met him here just after I’d gotten a boat and thought it would be a great idea to take him and my kids on a ride to a pretty secluded island. We had an awesome trip over, moored just off the beach then sat at a little cafe having lunch. When we went to leave, the tide had dropped and the boat was sitting half way up the beach, going nowhere. And a storm was coming. We ended up spending hours sitting in the cafe into the night while we played Jenga and he taught the kids card tricks. Eventually, late and dark with the storm still raging, we headed home anyway navigating through the pitch dark via the flashing red and green beacons. We came home drenched and according to Kevin, elated anyway at an awesome day out 😊

I never stranded Kevin anywhere again, but we did do more boat trips in the years to follow. The stories this guy had were nuts; obviously the hacking, but changing identities, being on the run, getting locked up and perhaps what hit the most, solitary confinement. It was a crazy time he found himself in (“Kevin might whistle nuclear launch codes into the telephone”), and he paid a hefty price. But he also later made a hell of an honest career out of it and became highly entertaining, and highly in demand. He was polarising, but there’s no arguing he earned his way to the top.

You kinda hope that when you pass on, that’s not the end of it insofar as you’ve made a lasting difference. We’ll still be talking about Kevin for decades to come, and there’s no arguing that he helped shaped the industry to become what it is today. A colourful character and friend, RIP Kevin.

Design hack:
Set up an hour long meeting once a week, or at least once a sprint with your dev team just to go through and fix all of the tiny UI details that could be better.

All of the things that would never get prioritized in a Sprint planning.
All of the things that maybe a user would never notice.
All of the things that might have been missed in original implementation or just don't align since they were first built.

Change colors, update icons, improve hover states, fix overflow issues, add better tooltips, make shadows better, cleaner alignments, fix typography bugs, move a pixel here, change a hex there.

No tickets.
No backlog.
No user stories.
No business justification.
Nothing that takes more than an hour (or close to it).

Just craft.

You'll love your product more. Your team will get a chance to jam with no expectations or KPIs. I thought it would be nit-picky at first, would give the impression of busywork, but my team is as motivated by it as I am. It helps clean up old code, unify implementation, and get exposure to features that they may not have worked on.

Cleaner code. Cleaner UI. Cleaner product.

Tiny improvements, huge gain.

Christopher Nolan doesn’t use detailed outlines.

Instead, he “draws shapes and diagrams and other structural things.”

Like this — the plot map Nolan used for Inception.

I love writing JIRA tickets new features.

Not the writing itself, but hitting the milestone of finally moving from discovery to execution.
