I keep seeing articles about "no more UI". But if you *use* it, there's always a UI. You type, click, tap, drag, draw, speak, breathe, look, feel, move. When we stop considering UI to be purely visual is when we start to understand the beautiful complexities (and possibilities) of interaction.

I find it curious that the scariest warnings about AI are from the people who made it happen.

A weird design systems phenomenon: designers feeling limited in their creativity, and proposing system changes to get that creativity back. But often, this "creativity" is misplaced. When looking at system elements, zoom outside of your context. When trying to be creative, zoom further into it.

Liquid glass. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't. Have a nice day and enjoy your eye candy

I'm trying Vivaldi browser after spending a few days around my friend @brucel.bsky.social at #cssday, who works there and isn't overly car-salesman about it. It's a bit quirky and tries to do a lot, but I like it so far. Vivaldi is the emacs of web browsers.

Pre-boat Gollem chill is happening. If you know, you know.

A day early in Amsterdam for @cssday.nl and enjoying the city on my own. I just realized how uncommon it is for me to do that. And the weather hasn't disappointed!

The day after tomorrow, #cssday will begin. It seems I won't be able to come after all, but that won't stop me from making sketchnotes. And today, let's welcome the MCs of the conference: @haystephen.bsky.social and @bram.us

Recurring topic of conversation at work today: low-fi vs high-fi. Our tooling encourages high-fi "sketching". This can be useful. But your level of fidelity steers discussion. If you find discussions hovering around the wrong things, look critically at the fidelity of your "sketches".

Wow, all those animals using ChatGPT...

English. It's hard.

@ian-frost.bsky.social Happy (belated) birthday!
