Your documentation is still in your Mum's filing cabinet

It's kind of wild that we're still organising knowledge like it's sitting in a 1970s filing cabinet. People and AI don't think in folders. They find information through search, context and connections.

The Absolute State of Management - Infrequently Noted

It is by no means the gravest linguistic crime of the React epoch, but 'state management' grates like nails on chalkboard.

Designing with Mustard — Anna E. Cook

Designing with mustard is the future of design. I used to think it was ketchup, but I was wrong. If you're not currently designing with mustard, you should get out of design and tech. The future of design is mustard. Adapt or perish.
