His mapping of the structure of our current governmental system was eye opening to me. I liked the explanation of the prescriptive (planned/written) vs. the descriptive (actual/unwritten) constitution. I also liked the idea that o

> how does it help prototype anything? Sketch, Figma, and XD all make it quick to do the most basic prototyping: click hot spot to go to a different screen. They are much more focused on visual design than prototyping.

The most interesting thing about looking back at Kurzweil's writing is the tech optimism we were all smoking back then.

I wouldn't say I recommend trying this, but it takes time to find people you are actually interested in on Twitter. All the obvious "blue check-mark" people have zero insight at best. There is a whole weird world of small fol

I genuinely enjoyed your story about your nephew, but it's bit like telling an anecdote about an incompetent engineer and then saying there isn't a large number of engineers that are good at solving problems.

I've spent a lot of time in big US cities and more rural parts of the country. I had culture shock going to stores in the rural areas, because the friendly customer service attitude appeared to be much less fake. People didn't fee

Dating more isn't the only way to gather information about what you don't (or do) want. People that have dated few people might be more likely to share a similar approach to relationships.

My first Agile project was in 2007. It was fun and collaborative. We were all reading books/articles and experimenting together. It’s never been like that again. It worked kind of as intended on one project where we all had to be in th

That doesn't mean that works for them. I hope the vast majority of purchases of Dove, Breyers, Klondike, Lipton, Vaseline, etc. can't be connected to social media impressions.

I would bet that marketing departments for companies like Unilever have a hard time showing ROI on Facebook advertising. Why not get some marketing attention for cutting your spend?

I will be so sad if the same thing happens to Fujifilm. Hopefully they have carved out a sustainable niche by focusing on APS-C.

I absolutely did not enjoy reading Kafka, but I get the importance of the work, and I think about it constantly.

I guess that isn't fair. It doesn't have all the layout assistance and plugins that Sketch and Figma have. It is perfectly fine as a wireframing tool.

Are there powerful prototyping plugins for Figma? I'd love it if the answer is yes. Axure is horrible for wireframing and a non-starter for visual design, but it has the most powerful prototyping features I've seen by a long shot.

I've started subscribing to journalists I like on Substack. I feel pretty good about giving a serious journalist $5 a month. No advertisers to please. Long form, highly researched articles. I don't know if it scales, but it's
