Ranty grumble from me: remysharp.com/2025/03/08/d...

Your outie's code works on the first try

When you remember it's monday so there's a new @shoptalkshow.com 👌

3 focus days a week, the dream 😅

Love these articles!

This past few months has reinforced two things about #DesignSystems: 1. Documentation is a work multiplier, time spent re-explaining probably should have been spent documenting. Don't do it too early, but don't wait too long. 2. Spreadsheets are still the best design system tool.

This was super insightful! Thanks @tink.uk! and thanks @remysharp.com for the upload, been waiting to share this around!

Still the best smartwatch I've used.

Love this so much! 👌

✏️ ✏️ I wrote a quick little rant about the awful UX of login codes.

Seems to be the week for annoucements for me... yesterday my HTML & CSS for beginners course, and now: frontendmasters.com/courses/pro-...

Just used the "My manager will handle payment" function on @frontendmasters.com. Seemless 👌

Finally watched Godzilla Minus One, what a film! 👏

Finding the warm spots 🐶

We need to talk about dog poo bag UX. All bags should have big contrasting text saying 'OPEN THIS END' so when it's dark and my hands are numb from the cold, I can complete my task with low friction. #ux #dogs

What gif pops up when you type in your name?

Thinking about @bell.bz's excellent #ffconf talk and trying to go a whole week without sending a lone "Hey" on Slack... which btw I also find frustrating as a recipient 🤦

Some things I like: 👨‍💻 Web design & development, for work and fun. 🎶 Music, mostly electronic but other stuff too. 🎮 PC gaming, mostly indie. 🌐 Self-hosting, "I run Linux btw". 🔌 Modding electronics, then not using them. 🐶 Walking the dog, watching her zoom. 🏙️ Norwich, tis a fine city.

Hello! Don't usually social media but might be giving this a go. Here's a picture I thought was nice.
