People often hold up apps like Linear as paragons of software quality. In many ways it's great – fast, pretty design, slick animations, etc.

But the definition of quality should also include accessibility. It's hard to hold up a UI as "high quality" with lots of basic issues.

@devongovett I’ve started building something for myself that pulls in items from GitHub/Jira/Google Docs/etc. and lets you personally prioritise and schedule them. Early days but would something like that be useful for you?

@SalvMattera Exact same experience with my partner. Really disappointing. They did help with seeing a rheumatologist faster though

@KurtKohlstedt I bought the UK editions of the Harry Potter ebooks on Kindle to get the British spellings/slang. A few years later I noticed they’d been silently swapped for the US editions, except the first which just disappeared because Philosopher’s-> Sorcerer’s

🧵 The historic NYT v. @OpenAI lawsuit filed this morning, as broken down by me, an IP and AI lawyer, general counsel, and longtime tech person and enthusiast.

Tl;dr - It's the best case yet alleging that generative AI is copyright infringement. Thread. 👇

At Google it sometimes felt like all we ever talked about was problems related to version skew. And then I Google the term & there isn't even really a definition, let alone much documentation. So, I wrote a basic blog post with examples & how to handle it

Someone figured out you could use Stable Diffusion (+ControlNet) to adapt QRs into images while still having them work reliably: https://t.co/lKPJDF9gvr

We just shipped the first alpha of React Aria Components, a brand new unstyled component library built on top of the React Aria hooks! 🚀

It abstracts away glue code and provides a much simpler way to quickly build accessible components for your design.

A really interesting article on how AI/LLMs can be effectively used in education. It’s pretty clear that these tools are going to be a big part of life and work going forward, and learning how to use them effectively is important https://t.co/GS7jQU12jl

Quick peek at what this weekend did to some Sierra reservoirs-plus-snowwater storage numbers (thru yday). Getting some water into these reservoirs and lots of sloppy snow up there above them.
