> That’s a lot of disclaimer burden No it is not, a disclaimer is very low effort. Here is an example disclaimer: "Just a heads up, I am a Reach-UI contributor!" That is in no way a large burden, still gets the message out abou

Was wondering why OP only seems to recommend reach-io as examples, turns out they are a contributor. It’s all open source so like, you’re not doing anything malicious for profit here, but it would come across as disingenuous if you didn’t m

Oh, then I guess I don’t see the point? Actual design systems vary quite a bit, refer to their documentation for their exact flavor of how to implement UI correctly and eliminate the middleman. I’m not saying having a general knowledge of t

Yeah this is absolutely inexcusable for a public tech giant. I wonder how incompetently secured the rest of their backend is. This is terrifying, the amount of PII flowing through Twilio is insane, there really needs to be a way to bite com

Agree with this comment. I think it is awesome that OP worked on a design system for the first time, that’s great experience to have, but it doesn’t warrant further diluting the market with another unfinished system.

Yeah, it’s something I catch myself doing all the time too, confirming a bias I have but then just moving on anyway. As if confirming the bias somehow made it okay to just have it.

Glad to see others bringing up concerns about the obsession with extracurricular learning in the industry. It’s pressure on people to do work at home, cleverly worded to not sound like a requirement. Yes, in depth learning takes a lot of ti

Not at all a Python user, but I don’t get how this is a valid argument at all: > Python has no built-in structure to manipulate trees What’s wrong with an API like appendChild etc? I know you’re just quoting the FAQ but if anyone has an

I’ll get shot down for it, but I love the JetBrains IDE visual merge tool. It’s not free, but this among other things makes it worth it for professional work.

Agree with this point. If your diff is so large you need syntax highlighting to make sense of it maybe you should step back and evaluate your version control habits. A diff tool should focus on what changed and nothing else.

I love the idea, will have to try it out. Not so thrilled about yet another service that wants to collect a monthly rent, but maybe the free tier will suite my needs

Sounds like you’re aware of the problem, and already know what you want to do about it. Now time for that daunting next step, doing something about it. Start with something small, take a walk outside every day. It sounds stupid but it is gu

It drives me insane that they don’t localize the times on their status page, is there a real reason they are displayed as UTC? If you are looking at a status page chances are anxiety is already high, to throw time zone conversion into the m

I'll check it out, thanks for sharing! Looks promising from one one minute scan. In a similar vein (also have zero affiliation) I discovered https://whimsical.com today, which also has a few other promising looking tools li

That's awesome to hear! Was that something that you had to fight for, and if so, what did that process look like? My observation with SV startup organizations is that it is very difficult to get that buy-in from product on something li

I've encountered this as well. I am a proponent of just using low fidelity shapes for mocks instead of high fidelity renderings of what it should actually look like. If you put enough work into the design system, and implemented it wel

Yeah that is the exact result I have observed before as well. I'm really curious to hear more examples about how this actually works out well in the end from others. I recognize that my view of this is from the bottom up in terms of on

I have my own "perfect world" solution that I can shed some light on, sure. It's built to address the concerns that I myself have observed, so it might not apply to all. Never just blindly follow the advice of a stranger on t

In your experience, do you know if engineers implement the shared component libraries as such in the actual applications? This would be as opposed to engineers directly implementing the end result of work in Figma (Sketch, etc.) that utili

Not a comment about Figma really, but it has unfortunately become a trigger word for me. These are my observations from working with tech startup companies as a software engineer. Software solutions will never fix problems that are caused b

We definitely have that idea in mind, you need to be able to filter these bounties sanely :) Filter by bounty amount, repo languages, bounty age, etc.
