Hey #webdev crowd, is there a way to tell Storybook to feature every component in a directory even if there isn’t a .stories file?

My favorite tracks on the new HAIM album are the explicit ones.

I took off a week between jobs to decompress, do some house projects, and learn how to do stained glass! It was a cool hobby to learn away from screens.

My humble advice for design portfolios:

1. Keep it focused on your best work
2. Tell a compelling story from the original problem to the outcome
3. Be clear about what you contributed

Hey #designsky, take my job! At Guideline, product designers distill complex topics into clear retirement experiences. The manager and design team are great!

Ps. I don’t have time for calls right now, but am happy to answer any questions via messages.

It's my last week at my current job and I'm feeling like a rebel by skipping the annual compliance training.

This is the best baby toy ever made. It’s called “turnip the beet” and I may need to buy one for myself.

I’m not sure what the intention is in labeling every individual post as popular. 🤔

First month’s thoughts of converting from Spotify to Apple Music:

- Pro: Less poorly done AI content
- Pro: Family bundle pricing
- Pro: Artists paid more
- Con: No scroll wheel for fast scroll
- Con: Shuffle feels less real

We're in the dystopia where physical products can't exist without paid subscriptions.

Does social media know that Doechii has other great songs?

Side projects can wait. The OG Rollercoaster Tycoon is now on Apple Arcade.

I’ve questioned which industries don’t claim to be user-centered, but then I found this weird niche on social media where car salespeople mock their customers.

I don’t even enjoy podcasts made by real humans. Why are you recommending me ones made by AI?

I’ve been receiving so much lobbyist spam in support of legalizing gambling in Texas. In a list of legislation I care about, that’s dead last.

Reminds me of this 10/10 chart

I think about this a lot.

My new pet peeve is already successful people writing children’s books. Their books make the bestseller lists due to clout and therefore we probably miss out on better stories.

Feeling good now that my first splash animation is working for Sōsh! I used Spline for the animation, just like the original camera icon.
