you could not choreograph a more perfect scene. the runner missing 1st, the kid getting smacked by the ball, that little guy picking his wedgie out. amazing

Sorry to hear. Had the same thing happen to me by
@Delta
, totally sucks. The enployees take advantage of their position and just pocket items they find on the plane instead of turning them over. Dishonest employees and the company doesn’t do anything.
@other_work
seems like a prime example of consumer satisficing. when production volume and quality of the “dupes” has caught up to a near-indistinguishable end product, why pay 3x the price for “authenticity”?
the rebrand is the downstream effect of ppl not caring about the origin
@benhylak
That’s actually very nice that they’re still paying you those bonuses after you leave. I know of other companies who say you have to be a current employee
Without a doubt,

is my favorite forum software. So so so many little UX benefits over traditional forums that help the discussions. A thousand small decisions, made well.
OK I am dipping my toes into the fun world of NFTs while I am on some paternity leave (surprise!), this is my first I bought and I'm very excited for this project! 😍
@Duderichy
> “competitive salary”
> “we work 80+ hour weeks”
so you want someone to be willing to work way more than most jobs for a startup market salary? pass

Great post. It seems somewhat miraculous the US managed to pull off some ambitious production goals.
I read Freedom’s Forge last year and also appreciated how much political opposition the administration had to overcome in order to privatize a lot of the manufacturing.
Lots of

Was fun to sit down with
@ridd_design
and chat about design at Loom and shipping our AI suite.
Huge shoutouts to everyone on this team!
This week we get to go backstage with
@designatloom

They teach us all about their design process and share lessons from their recent AI launch.
Here are 7 of my favorite insights 👇

1) Capitalizing on emerging tech requires more
@simonsarris
Partially this is a self-perpetuating problem now. Service minded people can no longer function in the government bureaucracy and leave to go where they can actually have some sort of impact.
You’re left with a glut of everyone who sticks behind, content to build nothing
@GergelyOrosz
Makes sense that Slack now advertises itself as a remote tool, given the industry shifts. But the tool doesn’t feel designed for remote work. It’s the open office floor plan as a communications tool.
@KristyT
if we turn the “risk” around: literally where else can you go work for a decade and make enough money to never work again in your life?
malicious framing IMO
Thinking of exploring a new collaborative, web-based tool for interface design and prototyping? Join us for an intro workshop in Figma with Twitter’s product designer
@TheSeanGoodwin
and Coda’s product designer Alicia Salvino on November 17 at 6:30 PM.
Some evergreen advice for those wanting to get into design and asking for advice:
Just go try to make something small. A logo, a book cover, an app screen, a poster.
Then when you read design books, you’ll get much more from them.

@itspatmorgan
Yes. It positioned design as a c-level stakeholder. Sometimes that meant more power than design normally gets at a company, like the capital to shutdown an engineering led project/directive.
(Not saying that’s always productive, but it gives you a sense of the weight)
Good news!!
I wish this was a heroic story of bicycle recovery, but I’ve just replaced the bike after going through the police + insurance. Such a great ride that I’ve now bought it twice.
What's an unexpected reality about working in Product that nobody warned you about?
I'll start: You'll spend a lot of time figuring out if you're "solving the right problem."
@nabeelqu
I wonder how much his financial security impacted his decisions around industry post-35
I feel like a lot of people set financial targets and then when they reach them they either decide they need a bigger target, or realize reaching it wasn’t that important at all
Last week I gave a guest lecture to design students about choosing to join a startup, work in a design agency, or enter Big Tech.
Would folks be interested if I wrote an article about this? Would that be helpful to hear about?

When I worked at Twitter, Reddit was often pointed to as an example of what community knowledge was possible to achieve. It’s a high standard!

@ejames_c
I wrote about a design problem that I initially didn't think was solvable until I actually sat down and tried to solve it. It's a small story from the Primary rebrand, but I think it's one that will stick with me for awhile.
So last year

This week someone at Wayfair asked me to cancel their subscription of , which is my AI interior design tool launched 2 years ago
I was confused why would they sign up to it
