- Because users deserve to be on the right screen right away. - Because Steve Jobs wanted simple apps not super apps. - Because you'll get better features much faster. - Because it lets our team take more risks and own their thing. - Because it's new and new is our business. - Because we hate tabs. - Because @Nike doesn't design a basketball shoe that is also a golf and skating shoe. - Because Zenly was always better and faster than Snapmap. - Because a camera shouldn't open on a feed. - Because it will be harder for @finkd to clone. - Because your deserve an app that starts super fast. - Because it's a smaller codebase. - Because app groups work great (thank you @Apple). - Because it is a big challenge, and challenge was the way to convince @corentinanjuna @CharlyDelaroche and @qperez42 to cofound. etc etc. – at Paris, France

Doing research with developer teams, something that really strikes me is how much people look for ways to make complex problems easy rather than make it easy to work on complex problems

The curb-cut effect: when we design for disabilities we make things better for everyone. From Angela Glover Blackwell at @policylink
The curb-cut effect: A range of people of all ages next to a crossing, road, and park show how the curb cut design for disabilities benefits everyone

Find me on 🦋 : @p-y.wtf@Piwai10 Apr 2023
Is there any official documentation on how to *use* Macrobenchmark results? E.g. "do a run before & after a code change, here are the results, here's what you can conclude from those?" All I see is "yey here's a median". You get 2 medians, then what?

Great thread! (and also ♥️ the quoted thread from @danluu) Sequencing to deliver immediate value even if the path looks longer overall is also how you build the right thing. This approach was crucial to how we shipped the Square Reader SDK, let me tell you how 🧵

Some advice for line managers to help avoid similar situations (project getting cancelled). I'm not at all familiar with the referenced project, nor any contributing organisational dysfunction, just using it as a launching point. 🧵

I contributed to this excellent, balanced piece in @thenewstack by @EmilyOmier on whether or not the "startup grind" is really necessary. One thing I learned from reading it -- the average age of successful founders is ✨45,✨according to the HBR. thenewstack.io/is-the-startu…

Is the Startup Grind Really Necessary?

Building an early-stage company doesn't have to mean insane hours and no life, say those who've been there. #startups #techstartups #grindculture #techjobs

a debugging manifesto
a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT??? 6. there's always a reason computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way" 7. build your toolkit person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER" 8. it can be an adventure person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found" by @b0rk @omarieclaire, more like this at https://wizardzines.com

As a tech lead or eng manager, you so frequently get request from above or from other teams to drop what you are doing and work on this thing they need, *now*. During my 4 years at Uber after asking these questions, 9 out of 10 times it turned out it wasn't really urgent:

Being able to run tiny programmatic scripts within my notes has changed the way I write and think far more than any other interface features. Noticed we're seeing more platforms that make 'programmable notes' possible. Wrote a short essay on the pattern: maggieappleton.com/programma…

"You were at one company for nearly 14 years?!?!" Yes, I'd say. Here's why: 1) I loved the people 2) I was continuously challenged and learning 3) The mission spoke to me 4) I felt deep loyalty But there was another big reason that was hard for me to admit then... (1/10)

What if your timer was.. a toy?! #AndroidDevChallenge With Kotlin coroutines and #JetpackCompose, gestures and animations are a whole new ballpark.

It was fun to try out the #JetpackCompose beta by prototyping the app UI for a local animal shelter. #AndroidDevChallenge

There are surprisingly few serious "web books"! I don't even mean "fancy new media books"—just: written primarily for and read primarily on the web. Collecting some favorites. Please reply with yours! * Butterick's Practical Typography: practicaltypography.com (more 👇)

A key design principle I follow in libraries (e.g. Keras) is "progressive disclosure of complexity". Make it easy to get started, yet make it possible to handle arbitrarily flexible use cases, only requiring incremental learning at each step. Like zooming in a complex landscape.
