Property mgmt are increasing the friction considerably for @Airbnb and @vrbo, requiring me to sign agreements and place deposits off of the platform. One required I send a photo of myself holding my ID. I have 8 years of 5 star history. Why even have a trusted intermediary?

🤖🤖🤖 AI and Design Systems 🤖🤖🤖 https://t.co/7hO9vaPcuE In this post, we demonstrate all of the great ways we (especially Big Medium's resident AI expert, @kevincoyle) have been applying AI tools to many facets of design system work.

The unglamorous and time consuming part of design systems work: aligning legacy product/code to the system so that updates matter.

Leadership lesson for today: When you delegate decision authority, the worst thing you can do is override their decision(s) without consultation. Change is a natural part of learning, so decisions change. Just be sure to drive it back thru the team who made the original decision.

i've been experimenting with the new @figma variables feature by creating a jeopardy game and it's pretty cool! all the jeopardy questions and answers are set through variables 😱

If you’re thinking “now is the time” for implementing dark mode or high contrast modes in your @figma files, it may also be the right time to learn more about #color and #contrast perception 🧵

Having worked on many mature products, I give @skuwamoto a “strongly agree” on this POV.

After working together for almost a year, we finally meet in person! @amberfeinerman

Beautiful keynote by @iamharaldur to close day 1 of #config23 ✨The things you can’t do shouldn’t stop you from doing what you want to do. ✨

T-minus 30 mins from #Config2023 Keynote!! It’s like a big design family reunion in here. 🤗

In parenting, there's a clear difference between those who balance the parent-as-a-customer and the child-as-a-user and those who don't. As with #EnterpriseUX, parents will put up with a poor experience for a bit if your kid is having a good time, but everyone has their limit.

And to round out this MSFT love fest... I decided to ask a cheeky question. And - well - at least it was honest. 🤣

Aaaaaaand now that I've tamed that window I get to enjoy another typical Microsoft thing: the junk-drawer-of-tools-nobody-wants-or-needs that seems to always accompany a Microsoft product.

Aaaaaaand it immediately defies platform convention by launching itself at max-width+max-height on the primary screen. I can't even find the installer window to "finish" the install.

Today is the first day since 2003(?) that I used a Microsoft browser on an Apple computer. (BingAI/Chat is only available in Edge, it seems) I feel triggered, amused, and curious.

Today’s mass shooting at the Allen Outlet Mall hits too close to home (again). We used to live and shop there. This is not a one-in-a-million situation. America - specifically Texas (which has now had 3 such events in 1 month) - is sick with a wound that festers and never heals.

Last night, I explained GenAI to my mom. Her perception had already been jaded by media-driven FUD without ever having used a GAI-driven experience. We have a lot of work to do. The bad news bears are out there defining this tech before people ever actually experience it.

It’s 2023 and your marketing email copy hoping I am “well in these challenging times” probably needs an update.

At today's haircut, I was surprised that my barber's mom advised her to take her $ out of banks. We talked about FDIC. She said mom's reaction was a "hispanic thing." Reminded me how bad news gets out of hand but also how people from different backgrounds process it v differently
