OpenAI is making a social network? Why?

Woke up to my Lightroom catalog being corrupted. Just after spending hours fixing a prior Lightroom freak-out a few weeks ago. That's the final straw. I'm done with @adobe.com. I'm importing my catalog into Capture One and unless it shits the bed on an epic level, I'm moving over.

Been listening to @jessecox.bsky.social on a podcast and I just love the energy. Homeboy has been in the YouTube creator business for 1.5 decades and just has such a cogent, lucid take on the industry. I’ll listen to this guy as long as he keeps it up.

Could someone explain to me why a peer-to-peer social network is a bad idea?

I had the best time with @davy.bsky.social and @pjonori.com on the Design System Office Hours Podcast. We talked about the other kind of design system consistency; consistency of process, that helps scale our work and creates predictability, and how it can help foster trust in the system.

I don't typically shoot in color, but the desert is making it unavoidable.

The one nugget of advice I've found to be timeless and nearly universal is to carry a camera. Not a phone. Not a Hasselblad. A light, smallish camera. Carry that camera with you and capture your surroundings. Make it as habitual as possible. You'd be shocked how much that can impact your life.

I look forward to the mental gymnastics deployed to spin today's news as a good thing.

Can finally share this!!! 🚀 #Config20250401

Everything's broken. You can feel it. It’s the spinning beach ball in front of us all. I’ve done something new to me, I wrote a new manifesto. It’s not polished. It’s not safe. But it’s true. brilliantcrank.com/eject-disk/

Come on in! The water's.... fine? #designsky #comicsky

Our team at Instacart is putting a lot of thought into the design technologist role. So I decided to write about it to help collect my thoughts: pjonori.blog/posts/design... I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of this role.

I saw a LinkedIn post about how conferences have lost their way. I agree. At some point their purpose shifted from benefitting an audience to giving speakers a way to show thought leadership. Hell, I bet there’s a business model in flipping the revenue source. Pay to speak and attend for free.

Been thinking a lot about the qualities of a good experience—and how they’re universal. The same things that make a strong experience in software are the same for service and the same for interpersonal relationships. I’m going to try to write about this.
