Starting to think Product Management will be overtaken by Product Engineering. Engineers are learning product. PMs aren’t learning how to build. Reminds me of “information architects” in the old days arguing that nobody understood how important they were. Then they disappeared.

iOS Focus States are often perceived as notification related only, but actually serve as awesome Time-of-day toggles to quickly change home screen context to what matters at that time.

My 14yo just said: "You better start focusing on your health because college kids are cheating using AI and they're going to be your doctor for the next 20 years." 🪦

I've been working to get Shopify Mobile app to load as fast as possible. This is where we're at. This is on S22. 🔥 The home page is React Native.

A developer who immediately approves PRs is a liability. Why? Because they eliminate an opportunity for a *real* review. A fake reviewer glances at the PR and quickly approves. A real reviewer reads/runs the code, asks questions, considers alternatives, and makes suggestions.

The 2021 revenue for Universal Music Group (@umg) was over $10bn (yep that’s 10 BILLION dollars). @lowtheband are unable to tour, so their income is solely from their recorded music. This just doesn’t seem fair at all teapaw.org/lowtheband/status/1610…
Testing. Check check.

There’s also a larger problem here that EVERY single-platform native app is susceptible to; confusing error messages. —— Error messages are THE MOST important part of human-centered UXD. Rust did it right. Stop making errors “something went wrong” and start making them empathetic

➜ If you want to stand out as a software developer constantly think about Murphy’s law — then design your error messages accordingly.

Dus mijn speculatieve hot take: het verhaal van de stad Antwerpen klopt niet. Iemand heeft betaald, of we kijken hier naar een wereldwijd unicum waarbij hackers data stelen, dreigen die te lekken en vervolgens zonder enig contact die claim laten vallen.

Good code should be readable by anyone regardless of skill level. Go flex on your own personal projects.

Listening to a Mazzy Star record with a lit up fireplace flickering orange reflections against a room filled with records and life doesn’t get any better than this.

If a site looks like it’s from 2012 and ugly as hell, they’re either at 0 users or they’re doing 50m a year in an industry you didn’t even know existed.
