Ever wondered how to measure Design Systems?

Yesterday, I spent a great hour with Farid Sabitov, Natalya Shelburne, and Brian Alfaro, talking about that exact topic.

What if LinkedIn had a warning when users are instant experts on areas where they have no way of having expertise (or serial hype boomers)?

Another feature we need but will never get 😅

#FakeProductFeatures
A fake LinkedIn post with a warning about the lack of expertise of the poster on the topic (artificial intelligence).

The LinkedIn feature we all want, but we will never get 😆

Imagine if you could create a poll to check if the claims people make are actually true, and not just virtue signaling.

#FakeProductFeatures
A false LinkedIn post that asks reports to fact-check their manager's claim. 73% of Smith's reports say that the claim he gives autonomy to reports is false.

Seems like Chromium-based browsers now have support for squircles 🤓

It's as easy as

@supports(corner-shape: squircle) {
corner-shape: squircle;
}

Are you even a Designer if you aren't using squircles? 😂

What do recruiters and hiring managers really want and look for when hiring Designers in Sweden?

5y ago, I ran a survey to figure it out with statistical relevance.

Some findings:

- LinkedIn is the number 1 place they look.
- Spring and Autumn are the main hiring seasons.

Pinterest just gave us a way to disable Gen AI images from our pin recommendations 😍

As everyone starts getting really tired of AI slop, we will start seeing the rise of human made as an antidote to the emptiness of copyright-thef enabled content.

Can you introduce yourself in 20 words or less?

It's not really about the word count, but about clarity and allowing others to understand what you can do for them, rather than exposing your entire life journey on a first contact.

2 truths about automation...

It does not need to be expensive (anymore), and you also don't need to use AI for most things you want to automate.

Here's an automated email flow for the Swedish DS job board, using the open-source n8n via a Docker container.

#n8n #automation #SwedishDesignSystems
An automation flow on an n8n instance running locally via a Docker container. This checks for a trigger in Notion, validates if the required data is present, and then sends an email to everyone on a Google Sheet. The email sent from the n8n automation is in my inbox, containing all the job details.

The notion that there is but one future, and you can either submit to it or perish, has been one of the biggest hazards to critical thinking in our time.
olivia.science Olivia Guest · Ολίβια Γκεστ @olivia.science · Sep 6
2. the strange but often repeated cultish mantra that we need to "embrace the future" — this is so bizarre given, e.g. how destructive industry forces have proven to be in science, from petroleum to tobacco to pharmaceutical companies.

(Section 3.2 here doi.org/10.5281/zeno...)
4/n
3.2 We do not have to ‘embrace the future’ & we can turn back the tide It must be the sheer magnitude of [artificial neural networks’] incompetence that makes them so popular. Jerry A. Fodor (2000, p. 47) Related to the rejection of expertise is the rejection of imagining a better future and the rejection of self-determination free from industry forces (Hajer and Oomen 2025; Stengers 2018; van Rossum 2025). Not only AI enthusiasts, but even some scholars whose expertise concentrates on identifying and critically interrogating ideologies and sociotechnical relationships — such as historians and gender scholars — unfortunately fall prey to the teleological belief that AI is an unstoppable force. They embrace it because alternative responses seem too difficult, incompatible with industry developments, or non-existent. Instead of falling for this, we should “refuse [AI] adoption in schools and colleges, and reject the narrative of its inevitability.” (Reynoldson et al. 2025, n.p., also Benjamin 2016; Campolo and Crawford 2020; CDH Team and Ruddick 2025; Garcia et al. 2022; Kelly et al. 2025; Lysen and Wyatt 2024; Sano-Franchini et al. 2024; Stengers 2018). Such rejection is possible and has historical precedent, to name just a few successful examples: Amsterdammers kicked out cars, rejecting that cycling through the Dutch capital should be deadly. Organised workers died for the eight-hour workday, the weekend and other workers’ rights, and governments banned chlorofluorocarbons from fridges to mitigate ozone depletion in the atmosphere. And we know that even the tide itself famously turns back. People can undo things; and we will (cf. Albanese 2025; Boztas 2025; Kohnstamm Instituut 2025; van Laarhoven and van Vugt 2025). Besides, there will be no future to embrace if we deskill our students and selves, and allow the technology industry’s immense contributions to climate crisis

Sam Altman: *over the sound of accountants banging on office door* How's our run rate?

ChatGPT: Excellent question! Budget projections are not only responsible—but necessary—in today's dynamic business landscape. Our total expenses over the next five years will be twenty two dollars and nine cents.
As a result, OpenAI projected its cash burn this year through 2029 will rise even higher than previously thought, to a total of $115 billion. That's about $80 billion higher than the company previously expected.
