2026 and I'm (well, Claude is) building a website off designs that were handed off in Illustrator. Guess the wedding industry hasn't quite caught up.

Are you even an engineer if you don't put a console "easter egg" on your wedding website?

A hill I’ll die on: PR descriptions that alter UI and don’t have a clear visual diff should not be merged.

if your team wants to actually ship Good Software, you need to be handwriting digestible PR descriptions with screenshots that explain the why, not what or how implementation details are now secondary, rationale and knowledge sharing is everything

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

In the era where almost everything is greyge, uninspiring and straight up AI slop, seeing the Amazon translated like this is a major relief.

A Amazônia Legal Brasileira tem 60% do território nacional e 28 milhões de habitantes. Nunca teve uma marca unificada. Até agora. 🌿 A @rotas_amazonicas_integradas e a @embraturbrasil lançaram a primeira identidade oficial da região, criada pela @futurebrandsp. O alfabeto não…

`tabular-nums` should be the default for any number that updates ( timers, counters, prices, percentages, scores, live data etc ). you can enable this tnum OpenType feature using the CSS property `font-variant-numeric`. .tabular-nums { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }

I guess @DoorDashEng idempotency handling has room to improve. Tried ordering while on the train with spotty connection and ended up with a duplicated order… At least one can never have too many pastéis de nata.

As a designer, be ready to say way more NOs. It's the only way to save the user experience. People in your team will bloat every single page; they will add tons of buttons just because they can prompt.

Is it too much to ask for a wearable + app that has the form and precision of the Apple Watch, data analysis and presentation of the Whoop, and workout capabilities of the Garmin?

From the archives: One of my favorite hero transitions I’ve had the pleasure of deploying in production. It explain the product so well. A lot of work from @marcovincit and @olarclara to optimizing and perfecting its smoothness! 😮‍💨
