It’s interesting getting to know myself more Like with onboarding at a new place - I kind of want all the In formation flicked into my eyeballs the minute I start so I can start digesting it rather than a chilled process to find your feet

Everyone involved in the creation of a product has an obligation to consider its ethical implications. You can’t outsource this responsibility or expect someone else to “figure it out”. It has nothing to do with your job description, and everything to do with being human.

While trying to get to the end of the first draft of my book I hit that point repeatedly that should just delete and start again…so great to hear the confidence that my editor has in it. Just the thing I needed to power through 👌

Great couple of hours with Street Group to chat through a load of questions and problems they have with design systems. Kind of cool not needing to prepare anything and field a wide range of questions from different disciplines and product teams. Maybe I know a thing or two 🤷🏻‍♂️

Got a decent chunk of writing done yesterday (finally). Some of which went into exploring how we can prove monetary savings or similar value, which ended up covering a lot! Is that kind of calculation something you’ve done? Did the saving _actually_ materialise?

With the attr() updates I’m pretty sure you could make a real #WebComponent without any JavaScript, and it would be useful!

While being a big Figma fan, I can still yearn for them to make a better product. So many areas feel half finished or not thought through 🤷🏻‍♂️

Getting fairly annoyed by apps and adverts talking about ADHD being a super power. Now having a diagnosis, it was to help understand what (if anything) I can do with things I struggle with. It’s also likely a part of what I’m good at but mainly see it as a negative. It’s been a journey

This trend of reaction videos has all the hallmarks of being so cringey - that before long kids would be look at you funny telling them that people used to watch people reacting to other people’s videos 😂

Remember when Duolingo’s copy was seen as friendly and a pretty good example? At what point did it tip over into desperate and creepy?

@lukasoppermann.com Hey Luke’s - seemed like your Style Dictionary tips might be what I need but just getting a ‘Package subpath is not defined by “exports” error when trying to use getIsType as per the README Something I’ve messed up here?

As ever, distracted by side-quests, it’s been really cool to keep my hand in the code side of things with a side project You never know if you’ll finish or launch it but it’s fun! Catching up with nextjs and supabase and learning loads Now, what was I _should’ve_ been doing?

Tokens Studio just keeps getting better! It's satisfying to see a workflow from the plugin, sync with Variables and Styles then push to a repo...which then can trigger Style Dictionary for various outputs Powerful stuff 🔥 ...and then you have the tokens visualisation tools that are easy to miss!

One thing I'd often say to people starting on design systems is to start with documentation It's about making that a part of what you do, having it a living space that reflects the current understanding. Also good practice to get your thoughts into words for an external audience and build awareness
