"We're finding it increasingly necessary to set explicit boundaries about what the design system does and doesn't do. And where we've landed is that design systems handle everything related to common interface patterns." — @brad_frost

This is a pretty bold claim, very little news on it so far other than Okta is looking into it: edition.cnn.com/2022/03/22/t…

Welcome to the effects of Experience Rot. As you add features, you’re adding complexity to the design, and decreasing the quality of the experience.

Aussie taxpayers have spent $1.5 billion on the pandemic bailout package for Qantas. It's a similar story to Harvey Norman, where taxpayers handed over fortunes, only for the cashed up corporate to then buy out RATs and sell them back to Aussies for sky high profits.

Worth remembering with these press conferences that the speakers have an additional 15 hours of case numbers in their possession than being publicly announced (which is up to 8pm last night). The tone of the press conference often presages what tomorrow's numbers will show.

IMHO, we should normalize bragging to your manager. A good manager should be paying attention to the work you're doing, but they might miss the breadth and depth that only you know. Personally speaking, I love it when people do this.

I'd suggest that anyone who feels they have important things to say gets a blog, does some critical thinking on their subject, and writes about it. Rather than feeling the need to convince women on the internet one by one via DM and email.
