Defining "consistency"

“Consistency can't be bureaucratic. Don’t let discussions around adhering to patterns supersede discussions around solving real user problems. The most consistent thing a product can be is consistently useful.”

Consistency →


Free UI animation tool, made simple for Product Designers →
[Sponsored] Micro-interactions make interfaces feel alive, guiding, delighting, and enhancing usability. With Phase, a free web-based UI/UX tool, you can design and animate them effortlessly using a familiar, Figma-like workflow.


Editor picks

To grow, we must forget… but AI remembers everything →
AI’s infinite memory could endanger how we think.

OH NO type company →


Make me think

AI makes bad managers →
“It’s performance-review season and I’m watching managers kneecap their careers. Gleefully they share the best prompts to have ChatGPT write their performance assessments - exactly the sort of shortcut that guarantees they’ll never get better at the job.”

On browsers, AI, and the web →
“And let’s not forget: they weren’t even making a browser. They were making a fancy chromium skin. Because the role of a browser, at its core, is to make network requests, parse HTML, render CSS, and run JS. They weren’t interested in taking care of those things. They were happy to let other people do that work which, for a company called “The Browser Company” (…) is quite telling.”

Foggy feeds: the decline in my feed reader subscriptions →
“Whereas today, much of the argument I’m seeing in my feed reader by those same people, is more along these lines: I like cars. Cars are good. I also like AI. AI is good. We need to let it improve. I don’t like regulation. Regulation bad. We shouldn’t regulate AI because we need it to become as big a part of our lives and industries as cars are.”
