Smart devices are overly complex. The entire point should have been to make devices work for you, but now when you buy a ‘smart’ washing machine, it requires you 30min of setup. Downloading apps, connecting it to wifi, providing GPS locatio

I work on UX/UI for startups. Have both worked for big tech companies and have many designer friends in big Tech co’s. The pattern I unfortunately see is that many of the larger firms somehow think they need dozens (a few cases: hundre

This is a welcome surprise. I have been hunting down memory leak problems for a hardware installation that runs a JS heavy app 24/7. Had to build in auto software resets just to clean the garbage because there was no real solution. Loo

Since I'm reading a lot of angry comments here, let me add a bit of thinking behind how these things happen without taking a side. Been designing for companies (probably just 10% branding, mostly UI/UX) for more than a decade. Reb

Might be good to take a closer look at history. #GOOGLE Google started as a research project called BackRub. It only turned into Google and a mission after it started taking too much bandwidth on Stanford's servers Source: https:&#x2F

I'm surprised by the many negative comments, as my experience is the opposite. We're a small B2B UI/UX Design agency[1] and used to work with Sketch. When first trying out Figma, we practically never came back (even though it

This was fascinating to watch and felt like watching a video recording of a dream. Seeing the world through approximations instead of details.

I wonder how healthy this actually is. Isn’t pain a signal the brain uses to alert you about a detected problem? Just eliminating the sensation of pain could mean your body would be unable to signal an issue that needs to be resolved.

I too was under the impression that there was some kind of clever way these shops operate, based on the title. But the economics are exactly like any other shop.

Slightly off-topic, but from time to time my UX/UI agency offers free help/advice to spice up dev tools. Especially open source. So if you are working on a ‘boring’ but important tool that looks crappy (because you don’t have the
