Getting absolutely roasted on hackernews rn lol

Speakers on btw for any first time users. Sooooo satisfying

Gaming history right there. Interactive buddy? Falling sand game? Save the sheriff? Red beard? A whole generation of memories.... And where are they now?

A list of Figma variables for padding where the name equals the value.

When I said "use tokens" this isn't what I meant

Case studies are hard bc when I don't know who I'm writing for, I write recursively. "The problem was, it's hard to use this data. Which is a problem because we need it. And we need it because our customers expect it. And they expect it because it's where the value is. And it's valuable bc...

Imagine a costco here

Now you know damn well I still don't know how that works how dare you

Spectacular. Love it love it love it

Well that's above my head but I love that I still get the gist of it from how you've explained it. So, you're saying the tool extracts bins (binaries? I'm front end only plz don't hurt me) and as it goes, it "repels" colors thatve already been extracted, so the palette has greater # of unique hues?

Is there a mini boss when the sole decision rests with somebody who has to have all their emails printed out for them?

The makers of Xbox One X Series S didn't nail the naming?? 😱😱😱

How do you demonstrate your "process" in a way that doesn't make you look like a fresh grad? (Tired of 'case study guides" that just prove that you know when to use a radio button vs a checkbox)

Discovered this today trying to build a select menu with a search field in it. Oh my God

Never forget what they took from you

I wanna meet the artists behind the macOS desktop wallpapers. How do I do that?

I figured out how to find the perfect amount of space between any two lines of text of different sizes

Oh wow this is so interesting. I knew majoring in English would pay off eventually!!

Also the more time I spend here and tumblr vs reddit and IG the more I'm like "ohhhh this is why I used to love social media so much when it was first happening, I forgot it used to just be like this."

Got a good write up on what content design actually is? I'm only just now hearing the term, lately, and I never know what I can trust from the slop Google pushes to the top these days
