Hell Yeah or No

Derek Sivers just published a new book. It is called “HELL YEAH OR NO” and you can get it on Derek’s website. Having enjoyed Derek’s blog articles and podcast a lot, buying his book, which also includes an audio version, was a no-brainer for me. Derek is a musician, producer...

Their Fault

It is clearly their fault. The clients just don’t get design. The designers only care about how it looks. The developers have no sense for aesthetics. CSS is broken. The users are just too stupid. It is clearly their fault. Is it, though? Whenever we struggle or ...

Always at Your Service

Jeremy Keith and the team at Clearleft have started a new podcast. In each episode, they are looking at a different theme related to design, development, and beyond. The first episode covered design systems and was already very worthwhile. But I especially enjoyed the latest...

Wicked Design

Problems come in two flavors. There are the problems we know how to solve, or at least know that there is a solution to them. Like mathematical equations, for example, or beating another chess player in five moves. For those problems, the mission is clear. And then, there ar...

Scrolling Elements Into View

Although you should not mess with scrolling unless it is really necessary, scrolling an element into view is something that is needed from time to time. In my case, I recently wanted to scroll to the top of a table after a user clicked on the pagination underneath the table....

Useless Is Useful

Much like every other weekend, I spent several hours cleaning the apartment this Sunday. Although I enjoyed the result of it, I had always looked at cleaning as a tedious task. Yet, I have come to enjoy it over the last few years. This is because I have started to listen to ...

Fear

I knew it would happen again. The fear. The tunnel vision. The blackout. Only a few seconds left. I don’t want to be here. “Next is Matthias, who will play the first movement of Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 11 for us.” Applause! I can’t think straight. The tunnel vision is here...

The New Urgency of Climate Change

The COVID-19 crisis has temporarily shifted our attention away from the most pressing and life-threatening of all challenges: Climate change. But while we – at least in Europe and other parts of the world with responsible leadership – are on a flattening curve, the issue of ...

Don’t Assume, Validate.

As we gain more and more experience in building digital products, we tend to think ever so often that we already know what a good solution looks like and how people will use our design. But that’s not true. Far too often, we are assuming that things work in a certain way or ...

Necessity Is the Ultimate Teacher

Remember that thing you wanted to learn? You know what I mean. That thing that keeps on nagging in the back of your head. That thing that comes to mind now and then and reminds you that there are so many things that you could explore. You know it would be interesting and, al...
