Above all else, AI is an accelerant.

That makes it really important for us to look at the world around us right now and ask: do we want to keep doing this, but faster? If not, what are the necessary interruptions?

Bringing communities and cultures together through Bhangra
YouTube video by Citizenship and Immigration Canada / CitoyennetΓ© et Immigration Canada Bringing communities and cultures together through Bhangra

Throughout human history, migration has been a vital part of people to find food, shelter, new life and explore. If we are living in one country now, we even don’t know where our past 10th generation lived. Let humanity flow the way it has been for thousands of years.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.

See how it works?

I genuinely am! Our team is preparing for a v1 release of our new design system and we just wrapped up some usability testing with product devs – an opportunity I really appreciate, even though it’s totally unfamiliar for a little ol’ React developer.

I love this concept! But if individual teams or groups are creating independent recipe libraries, how do you promote discovery across teams?

It seems like there’s a risk of silos being created and wheels being re-invented. The cross pollination of ideas and techniques would also be ideal, imo.
