I hate the CSS cascade and specificity.

The most interesting AI design challenge is making people understand that it can’t “just do it” for you.

Too many users go into tools with the expectation of immediate results and almost magical intent interpretation, but the reality is plenty of iterations and revisions

Can’t help but feel a little bit more excited to be a designer today, feels like that Config was needed for the culture 😌

Really nice work from the Visa design team and an impressive amount of tech supported in their components (maintaining 4 frameworks must be tough!)

HTML Is Actually a Programming Language. Fight Me In fact, HTML is the most significant computing language ever developed. Underestimate it at your peril.

In 2024, @wired.com launched Machine Readable, a monthly column about programming. It's been a consistently huge hit, and I'm very glad that this month @tcarmody.bsky.social is offering to fight anyone who dares besmirch HTML's good name:

A big collection of lego bricks with printed control panels, taken from many different sets.

😂 I love this.

“The UX of LEGO Interface Panels”, a look at the fictional interfaces printed on 2×2 sloped bricks.

UI kits?

Maybe atomic design? There’s a lot of non unique terminology (foundations, components etc) but with specific usage

Flex should just be the default flow on web

Holler if you'd like to be added!

Can do!

I also wish I’d started writing down snippets of documentation as they were discussed - sometimes in casual conversation you can describe things very clearly.

Also I should have made component property tables (like an API table) from the start, so everything could be aligned in figma/doc/code
