Really good examples in this thread that show how much "design" happens in the engineering and implementation of software. If you don't focus on these issues, you'll never be a great product designer. 👇
Designers: I implore you to learn about the back-end system of the apps you work on. How can you advocate for the user if you don’t know how their data is being used, or stored? How can you offer a good experience if you can’t signal what’s going on under the hood in the UI?

How do mockups influence design decisions during construction? A good example is the process by which our student Mayank figured out the window design in his powder room renovation. As with the rest of this project, the window unfolded one step at a time. Here's how. 1/6

I came for the tutorial and stayed for the thoughts on design thinking and musings about the mystery of wind. It's also an excellent, well-tested "recipe" that guided me to a great result and a bit of magic at the beach this weekend. nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

Quick note for journos: this is what a suspended Twitter account looks like. Trump’s account is not suspended. He’s merely on a temporary timeout from being able to post new garbage tweets. Which is necessary, and delicious, but woefully insufficient.

For all of you writing product copy, this interview with @BCDreyer provides some useful guidance on how to use the series comma skillfully, when passive voice is acceptable, and how to approach pronouns as gender identity become more fluid. n.pr/2WLlsLY
