We shouldn’t have needed lockfiles

Lockfiles are an absolutely unnecessary concept that complicates things without a good reason. Dependency managers can and are working without it just the same.

You don’t have professional jargon? In normal Russian they swim, but in “professional” sailor’s Russia they “go/walk”

I started a new account — Street Typography @street.rakhim.org

Examples of interesting... words I guess (?) I found on random streets of random cities. Signs, graffitis, weird logos, anything that resembles cool typography.

All pictures are taken by me.

Roma, head of design of Evil Martians, is looking for his next gig.

We know each other for a long time, had endless discussions about font design, he is very meticulous, detail-oriented and with great taste. Martian Mono (his font) has been my daily driver for a while.

Can’t recommend him enough!

Roman Shamin @romanshamin.bsky.social · Mar 31

I’ve announced my departure from Evil Martians. I can’t express how grateful I am for 11 incredible years ❤️ But I’m excited for the next adventure.

I’m open to roles in product ownership, design engineering, or design leadership.

Let’s chat if something comes to mind!

Switch to ProCreate, it’s golden standard of drawing on iPad (although with a small learning curve, but nothing crazy)
