How stupid are @NatWest_Help , and the state of banking in the UK, that they “aren’t setup to take cash on a Saturday” what is the point of having a branch anymore!

We’ll that’s me boycotting buying bananas from @coopuk as they are now priced per banana and conventionality means they have shot up in price! Especially as they generally seem to have the smallest bananas #inflation #food #uk #FoodPrices

My idea of scrolling long lists in 2010

- Automatically load more rows when the user gets to the bottom
- Fix the problems that this creates

My idea of scrolling long lists in 2023

- Load more rows when the user selects ‘Next page’
- Put your feet up

Boring UX > Fancy UX

In 2008 I worked on the Boots(.com) single page checkout 💵

It was designed with accordions & no page refresh - AJAX baby 😎

But it converted badly 📉

We met the bosses 👔

And decided to split each step into its own page 1️⃣

It converted well 📈

I learnt that simple wins 😍

THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE

– By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy
– By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed
– By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*

@adambsilver I bet they’ll sell it to you, check you out getting all modern!

Ever wondered how a QR code works?
No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating.

🧵User frustrations in 2022. Just a few frustrating design patterns that we should be avoiding when designing today:

– Tiny scrollable panes.
– Tiny click targets.
– Unexpected content shifts.
– Mega-menus opening on hover.
– Country selector dropdown.
– Generic error messages.

I've developed software for over 22 years now, which is way over half of my lifetime, both professionally and as a hobby.

Here are some of the most valuable lessons I learned along the way:

It’s time for well-funded open source projects to step up and support their dependencies financially.

@fhinkel For any shell I’d recommend https://t.co/qAiPmvSkwC
By simply changing into a directory it sets my env variables, adds any custom scripts to my path and if required sets up the correct Node version (by reading a .nvmrc) can do more too!

I always forget branch names when juggling a few things, this alias is one of my favourites...

One unforeseen benefit of choosing @Cypress_io for our SPA functional testing is that, when systems you rely on go down, you can carry on developing features as all the network calls are intercepted! #cypress #webdev #testing #Productivity #react #reactjs #dx

@asolove Check out https://t.co/qAiPmvSkwC particularly PATH_add
Use this to store regularly used commands in a “.bin” folder in the project. Anytime there’s a critical command I create a new script file and put it there - a history of commands used and easy to re-use
