Such a pertinent talk. I think this is one that will be referenced and built on for years to come.

Why Women in Tech isn't enough
Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

There’s this weird myth about how UX or UI or whatever software design is called isn’t a big deal anymore.

Figma going public means new industry tooling coming because they will slow down, focus on 1/4 by 1/4 numbers before eventually being swallowed by a PE firm or sold for little to Adobe who will rename it.
Be on your toes design folk. Now is the time to try everything and use what works.

Hey @nathanacurtis.bsky.social I’m rereading the [documenting components](medium.com/eightshapes-...) series.
I’m struggling to find the part on “code”. Is that still available anywhere?
Thanks for all you do and share 🙇

This will save me so many hours when trying to figure out what is going on with popovers and tooltips 😅
Tip: Chrome DevTools can emulate a focused page! Great for debugging elements that disappear when they lose focus.
