Any of this doesn’t change the fact that Shopify is a company run by far right sympathizers 🤷‍♂️ So, I think I will take Andre with all his flaws over corporate fascists

In my experience, most people believe systemic solutions are good but also impossible to implement. So they see point solutions as pragmatic. They can provide immediate relief (at the cost of more problems later). I find those conversations very hard…

This is just most recent and most extreme example. But it was going downhill for a few years. He basically went all in on “standing up for our colleagues in minority groups is too expensive and takes too much time off work”. Many people expect better from people in position of power and privilege

If nothing else, one problem is how other contributors and maintainers are treated or even just how they feel. Would you like to contribute to a project where the leader openly supports people who want you dead? Another big issue is his “never wrong” mentality. It’s not good for OSS

Ça ne sera pas bien différent de tous les générations précédentes 🤷‍♂️ Y’a pas une époque ou les classes supérieures n’ont pas dominés et ne se sont pas enrichies

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

The reality is many task skills we learn, we forget and then need to learn again. The reality is that all modern careers are strange historically situated ways of doing things, not inherently The Best Way for our minds. Hell screens aren't even good for our eyes and it's not like we've fixed that.

Have you used/tried Hey? I’m surprised to hear that Basecamp is fast where Hey is Extremely slow given they share the architecture…

I haven’t tried Basecamp in years, but Hey is anger inducing slow 🤬 I keep up with it because I love the product, but the technical execution is so bad 🤦‍♂️

I see where you’re coming from, but I will reiterate that I don’t believe that restricting to an arbitrary set of UI elements (basic HTML) is a sign of good UX 🤷‍♂️

There is a blog post explaining why native is not enough react-spectrum.adobe.com/blog/buildin...

You can tell them it’s “expensive”💸Eventually they start asking how much 😅

The problem is, from design/UX (or even accessibility) perspective I don’t think combobox is evil when used in right context. It means it is really hard to have to explain to your UX person that they can’t use comboboxes in their designs because HTML is too primitive 🤷‍♂️

After a few years resisting comboboxes we couldn’t resist design needs anymore…

I know they are very minimalist. It’s cool! I work for a French government website and we tried to stay away from complex components. I am genuinely curious if gov.uk genuinely don’t need comboboxes or date pickers or if they “design around” the constraint
