finding fun/new Apps being hyped on threads or tiktok that's made only for iOS is discriminatory to Android🥲 If you're going to be App building and launching, do it for both. Affordances as a signifier could not be more present than ever😮‍💨

I often tell people that I have massive ambition when it comes to bold ideas, but not when it comes to titles. Sometimes the bold ideas work out and result in career growth but I’m not motivated by titles. If it works out, it works out. I believe that the work should speak for itself.

We already live on a planet where we could house and feed everyone with 30% of resource produced. Assuming true, of course any new tech that makes us more productive would NOT make anyone work less.

Sigh, twas ever thus: “You had thought that maybe, oh, because you could be more productive with AI, then you save some time, you can work less. But then really, you don’t work less. You just work the same amount or even more.”

We all know that person, who does the invisible work, who quietly coordinates and holds projects together. They sadly rarely get credit for it though. It’s hard to measure, and often overlooked. We need to find leaders who can see and reward this invisible work.

The Invisible Work

The coordination work that holds projects together disappears the moment it works. On the unfairness of recognition and finding leaders who see it anyway.

So, I'm an engineering manager at Stripe who is most responsible for our Design Engineering discipline, and my team would be the first to tell you that our definition is a bit imprecise. (It's actually a thing we're actively working on collaboratively as we come back for the year.) But my take:

Seeing Marcus getting to learn from Chef Luca, Richie getting to learn from Jessica and Chef Terry and even Carmy getting to learn from Chef Thomas Keller in The Bear. I really wonder if most industries would have this type of exposure for someone to learn from another.

New blog post: On Freedom, Curiosity & Happiness …Where I contemplate the intricate relationship between my personal life and the work I do, what kind of values I believe in, and what’s next after resigning from my full time position in the Nord Design System team arielsalminen.com/2025/on-free...

On Freedom, Curiosity & Happiness

I have been recently contemplating the intricate relationship between my personal life and the work I do, particularly how these domains inevitably get intertwined and influence one another....

“When you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must also repair the world around it… so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and …takes its place in the web of nature.” — Christopher Alexander (A Pattern Language, 1977)

The New Separation of Concerns

Separation of concerns is a computer science principle introduced in the mid 1970s that describes how each section of code should address a separate piece of a computer program. Applying this principle results in more modular, understandable, and maintainable codebases. Web designers & developers of a certain age might remember the separation of concerns applied to the three languages of the web: HTML provides the structure, CSS provides the style, and JavaScript provides the behavior of a web page.
