It was only a matter of time until DHH said I sucked
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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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
