It's pretty cool! As experiments I really love andy.works' work. I appreciate what he's trying to accomplish. And I think he's on to something with the idea. But the execution is always a little off to me. I just don&#x

WHO matters, but it's definitely not more important than WHY. Who changes as people come and go — as they receive better offers or more significant job titles elsewhere. Staff will always turn over for reasons in your control (and reas

From my understanding the 'rights' to TV shows are actually auctioned quite openly due to royalty systems and pretty strong union contracts demanding their slice of that revenue. It's actually within the deal structure. So I&

Personally I don't buy this argument to the degree the journalist is spinning it. "No screens anywhere!" is an extreme stance. I enjoy how well CarPlay merges my phone with the display screen (and I enjoy easy music control a

All of my searches are turning up unrelated results ("college life after the pandemic", "post-pandemic teaching in higher education", "football news NFL" etc.) NFL one had 'some' decently related resu

When all one has is a hammer (Girardian festival analogy) all of the world's problems begin looking like nails... (socially engineer-able solutions) I can't really tell, but I think this article is arguing that the carbon crisis w

Isn't this what he's advocating for when he expresses the need to approach work "UX first" even when it comes to story and epic-level work?

This is caricatured thinking though. You need to work because you want $$$ for rent, and you need to go to the grocery store (or wherever) to eat so you don't die. That's a sunk cost every person generally must assume. But the poi

It's a bit frustrating to read his follow-up letter because it largely ignores the root counterpoints Pinker made in favour of pushing the data integrity angle. Hans spends an awful lot of time poking holes in the historical accuracy o

I have not found this to be true in my own professional life. While we do not want to diminish the contributions of the individual coders, designers, marketers, etc. in the process of bringing a product to life. It's VERY hard, with al

I've worked at Top Hat for the last couple years (on the engineering floor) and it's been nothing but positive. Out of all the Toronto-area startups I've worked at in the last 6 or so years Top Hat seemed the most serious abo
