  1. I keep reaching versions of Eterna that feel finished, then one clearer product or page changes the standard I use to judge everything around it. Lately, some of the biggest improvements have come from removing explanation instead of adding more.

  2. How we designed a driving behavior system for a large car-sharing platform, helping drivers improve through UX, transparency, and visual feedback. hackernoon.com/designing-a-dri #productdesign

  3. I knew my mug handles were way off, but didn't know how to approach handle design. This fantastic breakdown of aesthetics and function gave me the basic understanding I needed to start refining them, from leverage and torque to friction and pressure: oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog/m

    In the photo, left is before, right is after. It's night and day how they balance when you hold them.

    (They also use the same glaze combo, just different amounts.)

  4. I’ve (soft) launched a new personal blog! My goal is to share thoughts and insights from my experience in leading #UX teams, building product, and what I see for the future of #productdesign. My first real post is a book report on one of my faves…feedback welcome!

  5. Turning a rough user idea into a usable AI-generated design is mostly a context problem. Static business rules go in the system prompt, big historical datasets need retrieval, and visual concepts work better as reference images than as text.

  6. Mass-market messaging needs real privacy solutions that users will accept. In my new blog post I explore how passkeys, layered encryption for backups, and PIN‑gated privacy can provide stronger protection while keeping usability intact. Read the full article: wix.to/A9c3T6X

  7. Benedict Evans nails the AI adoption gap with the 'spreadsheet vs. lawyer' analogy.

    Claude Code "does a week of work in an hour" for the developer, like spreadsheets did for accountants in the '70s. But most people are the lawyer, thinking, "This is clever… maybe next week."

    The solution isn't just a better model, but better products for unnoticed daily habits.

  8. Meta is settling for up to $16.68 billion over claims it built Facebook and Instagram to be addictive for teens — not as a side effect, but by design. This isn't a fine for a mistake. It's a bill for a business model. For years, "engagement" was the north star metric in tech. Growth at any cost. More time-on-app = more revenue.

  9. We don't want Edorena to tell users:

    "This is a good decision."

    That's not the job.

    The system should say:

    "This decision matches one of your rules."

    The user decides what that means.

    That distinction matters.

  10. AI is making interface generation increasingly cheap. But understanding user motivation, context, uncertainty, and trade-offs remains a deeper challenge. The value of UX may increasingly shift from producing screens to making better product decisions. When AI can generate countless options, what should determine the one that ships? #AIUX #UXDesign #ProductDesign

  11. Am I just weird but when I'm watching a video on a project or something, I get real fucking annoyed when there's too much yapping in the video? It oftentimes feels really pretentious and like some corpo motherfucker on LinkedIn overselling themselves.

    If you think the project/product is good, why not let its function and/or form speak for itself? The more you yap the more it feels like you're compensating for something.
