Readability is dope

Forget Skittles, WeAllHateQuickbooks is brilliant

iseffcom: I was undecided how I felt about the Skittles marketing gimmick (showing the Twitter search results for “skittles”). In the end, I decided it was brilliant, at least short-term. I’m still on the fence as to whether it amounts to something good long-term for a huge brand like Skittles. However, for a smaller brand, like Less Accounting, who are competing against an established...

Great design stuff

960 Grid System (960.gs) is a lot cooler than the Yahoo UI Grids system, I think, because it includes cool “sketch sheets” that you can print out and doodle on. Very cool for mocking up new ideas. Templates are also included for Photoshop, Visio, Omnigraffle and more. Highly Recommended. And while we’re talking about Visio and Omnigraffle, Check out the Yahoo UI Design...

Pixar's Brad Bird on Fostering Innovation →

I'm Going To Scale My Foot Up Your Ass →

“You don’t need to worry about scalability on your Rails-over-Mysql application because nobody is going to use it. Really. Believe me. You’re going to get, at most, 1,000 people on your app, and maybe 1% of them will be 7-day active. Scalability is not your problem, getting people to give a shit is.”

be good. →

When you write something telling people to be good, you seem to be claiming to be good yourself. So I want to say explicitly that I am not a particularly good person. When I was a kid I was firmly in the camp of bad. The way adults used the word good, it seemed to be synonymous with quiet, so I grew up very suspicious of it.
