@joenatoli@DrGuitar It’s odd. With Servco, a financial co, acquiring Fender, maybe legal influence in Fender is to the fore. But litigation requires definition. E.g. the Strat body contours have repeatedly changed since the 1950s and will be different in e.g. PRS. Which shape are they protecting?
@joenatoli 1. The contentious points are generally between prioritising demand-driven feature-factory tickets over value-driven work
2. Outcome? - Everyone agrees we should prioritise value-driven work but somehow the tactical work always gets prioritised
Truly gob-smacked by @lovable - took me 10 mins to make this EV charge cost calculator https://t.co/aWOa1u2Sry
Lovable and @Replit are going to democratise IT skills and disrupt lots of lives. Many, in the design and dev world, are going to find it less than comfortable
@katy_milkman In the context of our times, I’m drawn to the correlation between global warming and global conflict https://t.co/qw4UzaVoMA - People’s belief in global warming is geared towards avoiding an extinction event. Yet the conflict it gives rise to, could kill us before we get there.
@domesticetch I have turned down gambling, porn, tobacco and the only other one I tend to avoid is financial services. I find the culture in that industry so arrogant and dismissive that it is difficult to do any good work and impossible to enjoy any of it.
@HukAleksandra You can contact the bank ahead of time and say you will be withdrawing £20k. Just say you’re having some building work done. Why get all worked up, just use whatever selection of words it takes. It’s easier than trying get a bank to change its obstructive culture.

Viewing Google dash, slides, Figma prototypes (in Google hangouts) when using Chrome, everything has a pink tinge. Doesn’t happen in any other browser. Does anyone else get this

@martymadrid Output over outcome worked in 20th century factories on piece rates. 100yrs on, we work smarter, not harder; e.g. the efficacy of code beats typing speed. What works for the worker so the business achieves the best outcome, supersedes any misguided clockwatching, output metric.
@almmaasoglu ‘Full Stack’ theoretically works; you do your research, then the UX and then UI, iterating as you go, then you code up the front end followed by the back end. But one thing will always take precedence. Full-Stack is like a sofa-bed - both the bed & the sofa are compromised.
Noticed lots of people using the term #AI in an entirely interchangeable way with the word ‘magic’
‘…we will increase conversion with AI’
‘…engagement will solidify with AI’
And one I heard a 2 weeks back: ‘…close your eyes and make a wish; AI can make that wish happen’

@BigMeanInternet At an early UK Govt digital project, I came up with a custom radio button. It was bigger and tested better than the system radio button. Everyone thought it looked too big and out of place. But we followed user tests. Then all UK govt sites adopted. Probably a convention now!
@ianzelbo I seem to recall from a lecture (a long, long time ago) that China was not a signatory to international copyright laws. That info may no longer be so, but it used to be the case
