I asked the long-time Chief Design Officer at Airbnb ( @alexoid )... "What do you look for in a junior IC that would indicate they have a high ceiling?" I agree w/ his answer 100% (but also I'm glad he said it not me 😅🌶️ )

Have you ever seen a company consistently call out the engineers/designers responsible for new features in product update emails? @browsercompany is creating a future corporate comms case study Affinity 📈

Design hack: Set up an hour long meeting once a week, or at least once a sprint with your dev team just to go through and fix all of the tiny UI details that could be better. All of the things that would never get prioritized in a Sprint planning. All of the things that maybe a user would never notice. All of the things that might have been missed in original implementation or just don't align since they were first built. Change colors, update icons, improve hover states, fix overflow issues, add better tooltips, make shadows better, cleaner alignments, fix typography bugs, move a pixel here, change a hex there. No tickets. No backlog. No user stories. No business justification. Nothing that takes more than an hour (or close to it). Just craft. You'll love your product more. Your team will get a chance to jam with no expectations or KPIs. I thought it would be nit-picky at first, would give the impression of busywork, but my team is as motivated by it as I am. It helps clean up old code, unify implementation, and get exposure to features that they may not have worked on. Cleaner code. Cleaner UI. Cleaner product. Tiny improvements, huge gain.

I'm starting to be super in love with @framer because it sure seems that since Framer started being popular we have seen more updates for the actual @webflow users than in the last 3 years. Good competition for sure benefits the users in the tech space.

A team on @trycampsite created their own ritual called Hot Trash Tuesday™ where everyone gets to dump WIP, no matter how janky, rough, or unfinished. I love this so much — lower the barrier to sharing, make it fun, celebrate the mess.

Sorry to hear the news of layoffs at @Xero especially for affected friends. We don't have many vacancies at @PikPokGames, but there might be an opportunity for a couple of people at least apply.workable.com/pikpok/

Let's talk analytics for your design systems. Do you use analytics to track usage, and if so what are the most important metrics you care about?

Mentorship from someone who hasn’t done what you’re trying to do isn’t mentorship at all.
