So excited to finally show you all what I've been working on at GitHub. Codespaces are integrated dev environments in the cloud with the full power of VS Code Sparkles. For the past week I've been developing my app ON AN IPAD.
Super excited to release another useful feature for
@github
code review. Starting today, you can mark files as "viewed" and keep track of your progress!
Some personal news. It's been an absolute honor improving Pull Requests for y'all over the past 4 years, and there's lots more awesome stuff still coming. Next thing soon ✨
Hey, I'm open-sourcing the framework I put together to help me choose between job offers. Copy it and tweak it to your heart's content. I hope this helps someone 🤗
Is this really what modern web app development looks like to people these days? We truly are living through the dark ages. The boiler plating, the low-level distractions, the raw pool handling + sql, the configuration situps. Lordy.

Zoom notifies Facebook when we open the app, notes our device info , the time zone + city, phone carrier, and a unique advert identifier created so we can be targeted by the right ads. Fb collects the data even if you don't have FB. via

I love the aesthetics of Apple Emoji, but I will forever be obsessed with the Google blob emojis of yore. So I made a series of revitalized blobs I'll be posting over the next week or so 🙃
new proposals for engineering levels
Common Engineer
Uncommon Engineer
Rare Engineer
Epic Engineer
Legendary Engineer
you can exchange two common engineers for an uncommon but you lost some materials
I want to talk about bit about my path as a Corporate Designer. How I see myself and my role has often mirrored what the industry has told me is right, and that’s changed over time. 1/
Flight attendant: Is there a digital product designer on this flight?
Dad: *nudging me* this is your moment
Me: huh I guess it is
Dad: I'm so proud of you
Flight attendant: me too you're the best
Lots of FUD around the Figma acquisition. Very similar to the reaction when Microsoft acquired GitHub—clippy memes and all. Just a reminder that that turned out fine and even led to some great innovation. Adobe needs to respond by building trust. Hope they do.
Eli Schiff finally went full blown white supremacist and said the quiet part out loud. Those of you who kept treating him like a "design critic who tells it like it is" or whatever bullshit even through his blatant misogyny and racism should pay attention.
Facebook just showed my dad his "most loved photo from 2016."
It's him in the hospital after he survived a terrorist attack that killed 3 of his friends.
How many times do people have to call these things out for Facebook to stop prioritizing *engagement* over humanity?
How to make pasta:
1. Salt water and bring to a boil
2. Drop pasta in the water
3. Throw away package
4.
5. Take package out of the trash and read the instructions again
If anyone in the industry somehow still thinks that Eli Schiff is a good faith "design critic" rather than a toxic, attention-seeking sack of shit, I'm not sure what you're seeing. Is "women should look a certain way" a fresh and thoughtful take?
I really think
@AOC
is going to be president one day. Her media savviness is off the charts, and an entire generation is growing into voting age with her as the only politician who resonates.
design tip: getting someone to confess to a crime they didn't commit using a hidden recording device is called wire framing and is a critical part of any successful design process.
Hey friends, I just released the Figma plugin I’ve been working on for the past month on Product Hunt! If anyone’s into it, upvotes are very much appreciated ❤️
Hey Product Design Managers and ICs 👋 This coming Monday a whole bunch of folks who've been thinking about design leveling for a whole bunch of time are all going to be in one place!
What are the questions you'd want me to ask them?
As promised, a talk about why research is easier than you might think:
- How I build research plans, interview scripts, and prototypes.
- How I find and schedule real users to talk to.
- How I moderate user interviews/usability tests.
RTs appreciated 🙏
For the last entry in the Apple Blobs project, I've chosen what is by far my favorite lil' blob. If this gets 50 RTs I'll drop an ultra high res (printable) version of this tiny dancer for y'all.
Figma tip:
1. Install the Find & Replace plugin:
2. Go to your mac's System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts and make ⌘F trigger it.
3. You now have "native" Find functionality on

's ships this year. Variants, auto layout, selection colors, etc, etc. Really supporting the community's needs in a way few product teams do.
