This created a nice pathway for new patterns to be experimented with outside the core product and then eventually added to the design system.
(At least that's how I remember it being presented to me, albeit 15+ years ago now)
I always liked the BBCs "onion" model back in the day.
i.e, in the core of the onion (the news site, TV listing etc) you had to follow the system 100%
for second ring products (like the Dr Who page) there was a bit more flexibility
and for experimental products, even more flexibility.
Although weirdly it reminded me a little of the Bad Boys movies, which I assume it influenced.
Rewatched it recently and really enjoyed it.
Tastes better than it looks :)
You inspired me for breakfast.
Might seem a little unconventional but a drizzle of honey can work wonders as well.
Why on earth is Die Hard on UK TV tonight? Its not Christmas.
I think that answer to that is yes, SaaS businesses are going to struggle in the coming years as at least some customer replace them with vibe coded alternatives
Add some feta, chilli and a fried egg and i’m in.
I honestly can’t be trusted around biscuits. Bought a pack of dark chocolate digestives the other day. Now every time I make a cuppa, I scoff a couple. And I make a dozen cups of tea a day. Glad we don’t have biscuits in the house often or i’d be the size of a walrus.
I swear people don’t go on holiday to relax and enjoy themselves anymore. They go on an extended social media photo shoot to make it look like they’re relaxed and enjoying themselves.
Just gave a talk on finding Product Market Fit to 100 founders attending Web Summit Rio in 8 weeks time (as part of their seris of warm up events).
Honestly thought it was a silly made up name like SPECTRE or SMERSH.
Authors note: Turns out SMERSH was also a real organisation.

In UK TV drama The Capture, the enemy is a secret military organisation called “The Increment”. When first mentioned I thought it was such a stupid name that it stretched the credibility of the show. Turns out it’s actually a real unit.

Just watching a silly thriller and pre-emoted a major plot twist when I noticed the heroine‘a hair and make up had changed from good person hair and makeup to bad person hair and makeup.
Wowzer
Lovely
"During the 1980s...a battle of wills [began] between educators across the world who saw these machines as either handy little classroom-elves, or devilish little desk-goblins, as interlopers or allies to the cause of promoting good mathematical understanding. "

The fight against using AI in the classroom has echos of the fight against the use of scientifica calculators in the 80s and 90s. A battle which is ironically still going on today.

Of course Cocaine is a restricted substance, so a much closer analogy would have been when I was at school and scientific calulators had started gaining popularity, sparking a debate about their use.
