CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

In their quest for velocity, managers identified a critical bottleneck: themselves. Now they are automating away the very work of leadership - determining what is most valuable to work on, and aligning everyone around those goals. The result: worse outcomes, delivered faster than ever before.

productpicnic.com"Accelerating" alignment is anti-designCurating our workloads is also part of "design taste". Settling for low-hanging fruit is bad design.

Hello! The internet is falling apart in a specific way today (as you PHP-heads may know). Out of an abundance of caution we've taken down our membership site while our folks patch it. Maximumfun.org is still up, but might have some downtime later. Sorry for any inconvenience, we'll keep you posted!

This part in particular is so 🔥🔥🔥 "Usefulness itself is not a sufficient criterion for whether something is good. Slavery and child labor are strictly speaking useful, but many societies have strict rules against those since they are also deeply exploitative."

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.
