Can't help but admire Set Studio, Picalilli, and everything Andy and the team stand for, as well as their transparency.

If you need design system help, consider hiring Set Studio.

If you are looking for courses, check out some of their Black Friday Deals.

Since you can’t hire Paravel anymore, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you hire Set Studio to unfuck your website and get your apps on a good user-centered path with incredible, world-class design.
A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

a design course that isn’t just about copying patterns??

this from @piccalil.li looks really good if you’re looking to spend down your yearly edu budget:
Mindful Design
A high quality, expansive video course that will elevate your design skills to a level you never thought was achievable.

i used to make homemade green bean casserole from scratch (with bacon!) and it is, regrettably, Extremely Good

i say regrettably bc it’s a lot of work
Another food take since many people are doing green bean casserole. Campbell's cream of mushroom soup is garbage, but better than the other versions.

Homemade is so much better, and you don't have wheat as a filler, but pureed mushrooms for bulk. It's not just a little but a lot better.

Spoke too soon 😅

Looks like a posthog Maven package is now affected

> Turbo can also speed up perceived link navigation latency by automatically loading links on mouseenter events, and before the user clicks the link. This usually leads to a speed bump of 500-800ms per click navigation.

that seems....wrong...

🚨 check your dependencies!

in these 500+ packages, three third-party nuxt modules were affected:

- @alexcolls/nuxt-ux
- @alexcolls/nuxt-socket.io
- @posthog/nuxt

no dependencies of nuxt itself, or any of our first party modules, were affected.
We have updated this list to include more than 500 packages and 700+ affected versions, as well as a technical analysis of the attack. socket.dev/blog/shai-hu....

wtf did i just read... how long before the snake Miller gets back in his ear and he starts crashing out on his social media platform?
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."
