"[C]ontent is not a feature. Content cannot happen after everything is designed. Content is what fuels the user experience. And you’ve got to start with it early." YAAAS. 👏 Check out this interview with @halvorson for more content zingers.
“We’d love to believe design speaks for itself, but a large part of the job is helping others hear its voice. Persuasive rationale—the why to your work—is what turns a great document into a great product.” @Cennydd #OldGold
Gonna try and get the ball rolling on coding out the new portfolio site design on Twitch in a little bit here! Would love to have you join us 💛
Perhaps the most abused and misunderstood word in the creative world is ‘strategy’ What does it even mean to be ‘strategic?’ @andybudd breaks it down in a way that no one else could. Do read.
A few days ago I celebrated my ten year anniversary as a blogger. To celebrate I decided to write the story of my career over the last decade and the roads that led me to my recent decision to leave my full time role with Etsy.
Economists at the World Bank understand the value of data: . It's an honor to be part of the World Bank Annual Meetings today, and for @Mapbox to join the Development Data Partnership. thx you @DevDataPship @WorldBank @mikel @ianschuler @developmentseed
Big thanks to @shawnmmccabe and @AcroMediaInc for identifying ways to mentor new #Drupal contributor "Vishalghyv" in the context of enriching the fraud detection / prevention measures of Commerce 2.x. 🥳
Ever needed to convert HTML to Markdown? This little app by @domchristie does it so well! It's the only one I found (online) that let me convert my code blocks to fenced code blocks and specify my preferences re: bullets, headings etc. ❤️

“When teams adopt Agile, the first attempts often involve doing the same things you’ve always done, just faster. This never works out well. You can’t do eight weeks of research in two weeks. Don’t even try.” — @jseiden

The online ad industry is a massive con job and it's does tremendous damage to the climate because of its hugely wasteful activities.
Still love this ravpower charger. Have been using it as my main travel charger for 18 months. 45W seems to be a sweet spot for power and size. This is the most portable, flattest charger I’ve been able to find:
This rollout was a huge team effort and I’m so excited about the future it’ll enable. Expect to see more when we rollout Polaris v6, including a public Figma UI kit, but for now, here’s more about the update.

Just watched “On the rocks” and realized how much I miss movies, cities, meeting new people. And how much I wanna be like Bill Murray when I get old.
Wait, where is cancel culture? To say Sacha Baron Cohen's earlier film was racist and inexcusably exploitative is an understatement. It was cruel. He went to a dirt poor village in Romania, paid them a pittance and duped them into this. I'm not over it.
NEW PODCAST: #ContentStrategy starts with people. Hear @carriehd explain the ways of getting the right information to the right people, while meeting audience needs and the business goals. #contentmodeling
Data as Property? Scholars, activists, technologists and presidential candidates have all proposed data governance reforms to address the social ills generated by the technology industry and develop true alternatives. Interesting essay via @syllabus_tweets

★ The Daring Fireball Election Desk Is Calling It: Biden Wins
The day after the 2016 election I was in Berlin giving a talk about the bias towards bad quantitative data. You can still watch it if you love to see a combination of hangover, despair, and irony.
Well, the cats outta that bag... yup, Chrome is working on ***CONTAINER QUERIES***. Squeee. If you'd like to sign up to test the prototype (when it's ready) and suggest new features, fill out this form!

Still thinking about @LMSacasas's framing of the "digital city" and the "analog city" as a way to think through online life and political consciousness. Taylor, Birkerts, Postman, + more here:

The "iceberg" model: a powerful way to think about systemic change. We tend to focus on events above the waterline but the key levers for change are mental models at deepest level. Here's an "iceberg canvas" to help identify each level: By @Sys_innovation
Muslim immigrants behind the vaccine that could beat COVID-19? You love to see it: "Also in 2019, Dr. Sahin was awarded the Mustafa Prize, a biennial Iranian prize for Muslims in science and technology."

Many teams treat the meta-work as something you do on top of the "real" work. There's no time. But if you keep at it -- take the leap of faith, and carve out the time and energy -- there's a good chance your team will benefit.
Fourteen years ago, I wrote about "The First 85%." I still believe in this idea, and we're addressing that at Episerver with a new connection to @DivvyHQ.
