Why did nobody tell me this stuff was so easy? I feel so foolish now.

If you're not big on testing, are you really a professional?

I reject the premise of pixel perfect web design being an admirable goal.

If you need a browser extension to implement a design, something has gone terribly wrong.

This hurts me. Also, an hour is pure optimism.

That seems to be a common problem with products that get big & need to curry favour with current/potential investors. Miro seems to be falling into that trap, too.

It's unfortunate that you can't just make a product, finish it & that's that. Hitching a company to a single idea makes things awkward.

I'm curious about Linear, being honest; because developers are not the decision-makers with a budget. Plus, when I looked at it, it just seemed like Jira with some of the crap removed.

I have a PS4 and Switch. PS4 gaming felt like an in-flight movie, due to the sound of the fans. The Switch is as silent as my fanless PC. My need for minimal sensory stimulation is satisfied well.

Facts and evidence don't matter any more. It's all about feelings and emotions. Some might call it post-truth.

It's as if they think they can will their fantasies into existence.

You can add on UX at the end in the same way that you can add security on at the end. That is, you cant.

Though it really depends what you mean by UX. My thinking is that it isnt an attribute of a particular screen, but something that pervades the entire application.

Yay for homogeneity? I hadn't realised that making all apps look the same was a thing.

I have two 49" ultrawides, if that helps.

Why are you using react again? 😬

In other news: testing does not improve the quality of a product 🙂

Facts and evidence no longer matter. Emotion is the currency of our post-truth world.

Seems like a logical fallacy, to me.

My career has bridged software dev and testing, but without these projects I would never have got involved in UX, UI, biz dev, product dev. Testing has made me a better developer (and vice-versa) and biz/product dev continues to do so.

None of these have been abandoned. Likewise, none have been released. All have been playing Pong with my brain for years; I first started work on the freelancer tool in 2020.

And this is okay. Solo product dev has catapulted me way outside my comfort zone, which is where growth happens.
