Design and Engineering as one
This long read by Matthias is too good to get lost in my Mastodon favorites:
When design decisions are made in tools that have no concept of state, of time, of viewport, of the real unpredictability of content, you stop designing for the Web. You design a fiction of the Web. And then you hand that fiction to engineers, who absorb in the process all the compromises and assumptions that were hidden inside the original fiction matthiasott.com
As a person who's interest and professional education started in Graphic Design and then moved to working in and for The Web, this article rings so many bells and describes exactly why I always felt that I could give way more to the projects than the role that I often was asigned to ('needs only to be developed') in that waterfallish project flow.

🤦♂️ Oh no, not another tech apocalypse! Claude Code's Opus 4.5 is here to turn everyone into a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. Get ready for a thrilling saga of engineers pretending to be designers, and designers pretending to be engineers, while PMs are just...pretending. 🎭💻

Fridays are for button updates, too. They seem simple, but get them wrong and you'll lock out millions of users. We found 12 accessibility failures in our current button component, including two that violate WCAG Level A standards. (1/6)

Come work with me to define the future of product design education in Aotearoa!
We’re looking for an early career or mid career researcher with a strong background in teaching and design practice and experience delivering apps with modern web platform or game engine technology. We’d also love to hear from researchers with deep expertise in type design and font engineering; information architecture and data visualisation; or similar niches adjacent to product design who might thrive in our unique interdisciplinary context.
