I want you, a tech-literate person, to internalize one deep fact: Apple vs. Facebook is, and always was, kayfabe.

In reality, Apple is (and always was) Facebook's chauffeur; holding its coat while it surveilled everyone.

How to be sure? IABs:

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap I think is the most famous and fairly close by, though perhaps you know it already :)

It was on the Tim Raue episode of Chef’s Table. When I went (7+years ago) there was a very big queue

@threepointone.bsky.social @jevakallio.dev I seem to remember you mentioning a CSS talk that one of you had done (when we were chatting in Farringdon a year or so back), along the lines if "CSS lies to you" I think. Ring any bells, or know if it was recorded?

Me presenting at the Remix London meetup

Kent presenting at the Remix London meetup

I spoke about Design System APIs in React at Remix London last night, my first presentation in 6 years. With the other speakers being @kentcdodds.com and @chatsidhartha.bsky.social artha.bsky.social there was a bit of pressure... Thanks to @edmundhung.bsky.social and @catchpowle.com for organising

Anyone remember if Styled Components was the first open source React Library to have an `as` prop in its API, or was there something before this (specifically named "as" and with the same polymorphic behaviour)? @kitten.sh

The apple settings menu with a new item in the sidebar called "image creation tools are here" and a CTA that says "open image playground"

There is absolutely no world in which this is a "setting"

What ontological universe is Apple living in? If only we had some existing design pattern like "notifications" or "banners" to show users what's new??

Also, if I remember correctly, after looking at what conform does under the hood, I think I had figured out why you didn’t have something like this 😄

Our use case at the time, if I remember right, was to open a dialog mid way through a form with a dynamic number of inputs

This feature request is from some time back and I don’t currently need it as no longer working on that project. But something to consider perhaps :)

@edmundhung.bsky.social here’s the code I wrote for the conform/radix integration. It’s in a collapsed section at the top. Couldn’t find it earlier as I was looking in the conform repo but I’d posted it in the radix themes repo github.com/radix-ui/the...

Excellent talks by @edmundhung.bsky.social on React forms/Conform and James Opstad on Cloudflare Vite at the Remix London meetup tonight.
Thanks @catchpowle.com for organising!

I'll be free for a new contract from next week. I've just finished a contract as tech architect of a multi brand design system for a client with 100+ well known brands. Ideally looking for something design systems related or developer on an application/portal build.

I’ve had a small obsession with Lynch since watching Mark Cousins interview him in 1999 for Scene by Scene. Thanks for inviting me along to film that day :)

I was fortunate enough to meet David Lynch in 2007. He sat on an antlered throne, in a room off Oxford Street, and talked transcendental meditation while Donovan strummed a guitar next to him. Then he drank from a bowl of black coffee.

A truly joyful experience.

Post-meditation.

The UX of LEGO Interface Panels LEGO interface panels are beautiful, iconic, and great for learning interface design basics. I bought 52 of them from BrickLink to explore the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.

@ghengeveld.bsky.social @shilman.net 👋

Looking forward to trying out Storybook Test.

Am I able to get some kind of test report output such as a JUnit XML file? Looking for how I could integrate it with a reporting tool like Allure allurereport.org

Not to be overly dramatic or anything, but this has changed my life.
