There's a saying that writing software is more like tending a garden than constructing a building -- things constantly change. But the more I learn about how buildings evolve, I think this process is actually a perfect analogy for designing software! Thread:

... so you don't interact with the service by sending untyped blobs of bytes over the network, you do so using a typed API. There's no parsing/serialization or defining message formats you have to do to just communicate with the service.

"invented" or "discovered" ? Who cares. Pointless question. A new thing "created," new possibilities open to the world.

I really recommend this post. Also: personal opinion: I think this shows another way CSS is the wrong abstraction for what we are building using it today.

Did not yet read that, but it looks interesting!

🚀 Variants are here! It’s a powerful way to organize your design systems so even the most complex components are structured intuitively and aligned with your front-end code. Hop into the file to play around ⤵️ figma.com/community/file…

elm-tailwind-modules is one of my favorite Elm tools lately. Definitely check it out if you haven't already! Thanks @matheus23.com is on 🦋 for the great tool, and for coming on the podcast to discuss it with us 🙂

type-assisted completion and repair in hazel; a teaser

I see parallels between musical instrument skills and programming skills. Many people learn them in their youth, but both are totally learnable as adults if you’re willing to put in the many hours of practice they require. It’s not natural talent, it’s persistence that matters.
