I read this story in the New Yorker nearly 5 years ago and I still think about it maybe once a month www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...
not sure if anyone noticed yet but shiny poliwrath is basically a @granola.ai mascot
I've been working on my conference talk for @pushconf.bsky.social one thing that's been really useful, after finishing writing and practicing v1 of the talk, was to take a step back and not think about it for a week.

Yesterday, the CSSWG accepted my proposal for mesh gradients and diffusion curve gradients! Want to make gradients like this natively in CSS? Well, we've started the work on it. It's coming! Here's the Explainer: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
really enjoyed this read from my tall and kind friend @henrydaggett.bsky.social about how they're getting their design system 'ready for AI' spoilers: they're not training a model or using a design-dot-md file, as neither gave reliable results instead... medium.com/societe-gen...
super excited for the 10th design engineering night at @granola.ai this evening!

Our last talk was by @paavandesign.com who talked about how to make our designs make us feel calmer. Even just a notifications settings page on your OS can feel quite intense. So how do we do 'calm design'? A feeling that it's handled and you can just relax?

one of the cool things about @granola.ai is that we have holiday homes - for team retreats that pods can book out and also personal weekends the deal is that each team that goes out gets a small job to do here's me in the Beach House putting up coat hooks with my product manager
do I need the scissor lamp? no can I afford the scissor lamp? also no does the cost of the scissor lamp fall under the @granola.ai personal lamp budget (a genuine real thing)? sadly still no
