Mastery is loose grip

Friends, hear me out – all chess is 4D.

With Figma Buzz, I no longer have an excuse not to use images in my social media posts. I can already see my follower count exploding to triple-digits!

So he bought twitter again?!

I've been messing around with these AI coding tools for a bit and on one hand I find prospects like these laughable and borderline offensive: "type all of this out in plain language as opposed to to just tap b,r -> tab -> 30?! what nonsense" – on the other, I've found myself often doing just that.

Alright, I've given a lot of shit to Atlassian over the years, but Confluence just auto detected a bunch of acronyms on a page I was reading, explained them and linked to relevant docs. Absolute lifesaver for a new hire like myself!

Hmmm I just realised my Config talk proposal relies pretty heavily on the ability of a component to nest itself, which is technically impossible. Woopsies! 😅

From now on, I’m signing all emails like this:

Amazing news everyone! January has _one_ more day left!

This is directly inspired by just how bad the apple podcasts app is – I get two different feeds on mobile and desktop (with the same apple ID) and updating the feed takes an ice age. Possibly their worst software product.

Frigne idea of the day: could you build a podcast app on the @atproto.com? No more "follow me wherever you get your podcasts", direct interaction with audience, cool technical challenge, etc, etc.

Thinking of getting my first tattoos: main component icon on the right hand, component instance icon on the left 😅

Ah man I was so early on to this agents thing! 😅

Reporting back – no epiphany about the wonders of life free from the shackles of technology, the toxicity of podcasts or our awful modern habbits – it was just a boring ass dog walk.

I’m going out on a dog walk alone without headphones, like a complete psychopath. First time in several years, wish me luck!

My bio says that I write about design and make weird lamps, There doesn’t seem to be any evidence for either of these so let’s change that!

This future that they’re building sure sounds awful

Revealing that your platform doesn't have real people on it was a major scandal for Ashley Madison, but is a publicized roadmap item for Meta

I miss the days on the Internet when "10x" meant "thanks."

DNS verification on here is pretty cool. I wonder if @bsky.app should start selling domain names!

Hi btw, I'm Todor and I write about product design.

For a while now I've thought a lot of #designsystems can actually get away with no components other than buttons, inputs and a versitile list item – provided they have a super solid token structure and well define ui patterns. WDYT? #frontend #design
