Amazing isn’t it?! Where did you visit? I definitely want to come back as there’s so much we didn’t see this time. We did Honegg (near Lake Lucerne), Zurich and Wengen - with a stop at Interlaken on the drive

I know it’s WILD isn’t it? Always wanted to come to Switzerland and it’s even more beautiful than I imagined

I’ve been ill the past couple of days and a few years ago that would have sent me home (literally, I’ve abandoned multiple holidays in the face of no more than a cold) and although it’s wobbled me, I am coping and taking care of myself. And if I do have to be laid up in bed somewhere…

Missing @webdevconf.com this year but here’s my excuse.

Three paragliders hover over the grass in Interlaken with alps visible in the background. The air is hazy with mountain mist.

Found a UX podcast called Systems of Harm by @amyhupe.bsky.social, about how design systems can perpetuate elements of systemic harm inadvertently. Most episodes were recorded in 2023 and it's still so relevant. It resumed this week with an interview with @gerireid.com.

ALSO I wrote a thing for Zeroheight: When’s the right time to start documenting your design system?

In here I talk about what type of documentation to aim for at each stage of your design system’s lifecycle.
