I'm going to piggyback onto this and hopefully get a good collective together. As someone that mostly fits this description I've been trying to find similar folks on Dribbble to add to my Developer inspiration list ( http://dribbble.com/man

This makes for a decent developer analogy for the arguments designers have about services that devalue their time and efforts too. I don't know where the middle ground would be for us, though.

It isn't a "bad" word. It's about the implications of using a tool in the workplace that is automatically going to garner giggles and stares at the reactions of the female employees. Imagine having to explain your workflow to your executive

Initial thoughts: 1. A circle is not a very effective content area at this size, particularly for instructions or steps. 2. Why an image instead of CSS?

Hi Nathan, perhaps this book isn't for me as a designer as much as it is for developers to ensure everything that needs to be there is there, but the modal popup having the action buttons before the messaging doesn't seem to make any sense

So nice to see the designers of HN come out of the woodwork. I feel like that's all my account here seems to be used for.

I agree with your message, but I'd argue that the logos in that Speckyboy link aren't necessarily good design. They just have the marketing budgets behind them to become ingrained in your brain.

No one that works on a logo for $5 is a designer, they're someone that is trying to make a quick few bucks off of preset shapes and OS-shipped typefaces.

I don't know if it is because this is a design-based project and not a development project, but I don't understand why people are complaining about the complainers. Just as many people ask why someone did something a certain way - or why th

It's totally disrespectful. To act as if a crowd of savvy users who run their own services aren't to be taken seriously and that a single user - who tried for weeks to get help based off of the company's own claims - is this loudmouth minor

May do flashy things to get attention, and that's not even positive attention as evidenced by this post, so at the end of the day they must do it for themselves because it'd be easier not to do it at all. I don't know what makes someone a

Because it's insinuating those girls actually feel that way and are acting out because of it, instead of assuming they're confident enough to make these decisions because they actually want to. If every girl/person you see with unconventio

They're actually referencing the Ryan Gosling meme, not OAG. There's an image of him right on the page.

I read it less like she was correlating those conversations to a frat as much as she was making an (albeit poorly described) observation about who was in the lab. I'm not sure if she was trying to be humorous, but it would be silly to assum

Based off of the blog post previous to this one about the implementation of SVGs site-wide, I'm confused why they'd risk using SVGs over just CSS alone or CSS+PNGs or even matte'd GIFs? Maybe I'm behind the times, but that seems like a nigh

Awesome problem to solve (been looking for something similar without having to use three different tools), but there's no tutorial on how to use this or what it can do. Does it assume I've already assigned the glyphs in another piece of sof

I would say that pseudonyms do more than just allow us to be anonymous with our opinions, but it also allows us to be anonymous with our emotions. In that sense, everyone has - or realizes - their jimmies are likely to be rustled at some po

Didn't actually say that. Gawker is and has been a terrible company for as long as I can remember. But their actions have nothing to do with these ongoing issues that keep cropping up with Reddit. If they didn't do the witchhunt, someone el
