TLD game STRONG.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Wake Up Excited!: Kaelig Deloumeau-Prigent on the State of AI in Design Systems. Have a listen:

I’m feeling all the love (and FOMO) from across the pond. Wish I was at Converge; it looks like it was a fantastic event!

RUH ROH. 🫪

I'm looking for tools/setups for creating & managing beautiful, interactive, and structured diagrams/flow charts/etc. Any recommendations?

Someone is visiting you for the first time, and you need to introduce them to your favorite guilty pleasure food. Where are you taking them?

One of our favorite parts of our AI & Design Systems course is hosting bi-weekly jam sessions with our community & special guests! In our latest session, we were joined by the amazing Christine Vallaure who shared her emerging design <-> code process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9gT...

Need a break. What song should I play on drums?

It's like PBS for Developers.

When making websites, I almost never stay in a single lane. I flit around updating copy, tweaking styles, adjusting structure, and whatever's required to get the dang thing done. Some may see this as bad (my apologies to every PM I ever worked with), but this is my creative process and it is Good.

✍️ New Article: Detect when elements overlap with CSS Can CSS tell when two elements overlap? At first, I thought this was not possible, but it turned out it can be done with scroll-driven animations and anchor positioning. ishadeed.com/article/css-...

I was just at multiple conferences in multiple countries; it's so apparent that EVERYONE is processing their grief around AI. bradfrost.com/blog/post/gr... Also apparent is a healthy way of processing it is to come together & discuss it with vulnerability and nuance. This is what community is for.

What's a song you like that you'd describe as "quirky"?
