   Purchased a Pristine Hydro https://pristinehydro.com/ system a few years back and absolutely love it. Pays for itself in convenience alone as we were accustomed to filling up containers at a local aquifer or grocery store (

   Back in the 90s my son REALLY struggled getting to sleep on his own. The only way to put him to sleep was to rock him and hope he didn't wake up while you were putting him down. This lasted for almost a year. At wit's end, a frien

   I used a flip-phone from 2011-2018 after standing in line day-one to buy an iPhone. Those were very productive years of my life.

   Hey young man, go West. When I was your age I switched from Ux to software dev. When I attended college at 43 I was the top student in all my CS classes. Same, when I attended an immersive 3-month bootcamp 5 years later. Now, nearly 10 yea

   Startups perhaps? I look at my startup. Complete greenfield project. Never been done before. Industry disruptor. No ceiling for the growth potential of our product. Developers engage the full stack. Never boring. Fully remote. What do we ma

    I have a bachelor's and master's in Industrial Design. When I first entered the software industry after grad school in 2000 a master's was the floor for work in UI Design or Information Architecture (Ux wasn't a job titl

    Thanks for sharing! One last question. How did the astro-turf compare as a slip-free material compared to more conventional materials?

    I work on a small startup team of 3. What makes my team unique is that I come from a Ux background but pivoted into development about four years ago. As such much of the friction between development and design is eliminated because I speak

    Out of curiosity, how did you determine which skis you'd make mats for? Did you have to generate your own templates? Also, where did you sell?

    I was one of the first few Ux designers for a large defense contractor that made data-link communication devices for the military. Prior to my arrival all the GUIs were done in Matlab. Think 80s VCR-level complexity. Needless to say, these

    The new macs are (for me) a return to the pre-2015 era but on steroids. My M1 Macbook Air is a blazing fast dev machine for what I do (dockerized full-stack web dev). I do sympathize with all the mac hate during the dreaded 2016-2020 era. I

    This is obviously a "to each his own" issue. Work where you perform the best and for the best of the team. For my small startup WFH has been a blessing. Outside of physical face-to-face interaction there have been no downside beca

    To me that clunkiness was just not understanding/utilizing the true power of the tool. Once you work past that uncomfortable phase there is a eureka moment when it all snaps into place and you can't imagine doing it any other way.

    I'm so grateful that I paid for a copy of the Master Collection back in 2010ish. When I need to do design the older software still does everything I need.

    Thanks for the the tip on a new product! Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of free products become paid products over time. It's nearly impossible to sustain growth without income. That being said, I gladly pay for Figma. It&#x2

    Not much to add to the conversation here except that I love my Airtag in my wallet. So many times I've lost it for days and sometimes weeks on end only to find it in the crack of my couch, behind the seat in the car, under a pile of pa

    This article really resonates with me but not because I've been down the same path. Back in 2011 I learned Ruby as a hobby language and from the beginning I fell in love. Probably because of my OOP background as a programming hobbyist

    I have managed people for decades and I would never disrespect a new hire by asking them to work before their start date. I say huge red flag.
