UI Pace Layers - Jim Nielsen’s Blog
Every UI control you roll yourself is a liability. You have to design it, test it, ship it, document it, debug it, maintain it — the list goes on.
It makes you wonder why we insist on rolling (or styling) our own common UI controls so often. Perhaps we’d be better off asking: What are the fewest amount of components we have to build to deliver value to our users?

Chimes at Midnight—Asterisk
It’s been an idea for over three decades. How did the clock that will run for 10,000 years become a reality?

Making the new Salter Cane website
With the release of a new Salter Cane album I figured it was high time to update the design of the band’s website.
Here’s the old version for reference. As you can see, there’s a connection there in some of the design language. Even so, I decided to start completely from sc...

Deep Black Water
Back in July 2023 I went into the studio along with the rest of Salter Cane.
We had been practicing a whole lot of new songs for over a year beforehand. Now we were ready to record them.
We went in with a shared approach. We were going to record everything live. We were go...

There are plenty of non-men in tech to speak at your conference - Stephanie Stimac’s Blog

I’m going to share this with the organisers of that conference I pulled out of recently.
Yesterday I watched Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Thunder Revue. Today I’m watching Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz. The highlight in both of them is when Joni Mitchell sings Coyote.

If I was only able to give one bit of advice to any company: iterate quickly on a slow-moving platform.
Excellent advice from Harry (who first cast his pearls before the swine of LinkedIn but I talked him ‘round to posting this on his own site).
- Opt into web platform features incrementally
- Embrace progressive enhancement to build fast, reliable applications that adapt to your customers’ context
- Write code that leans into the browser, not away from it
I’m not against front-end frameworks, and, believe me, I’m not naive enough to believe that the only thing a front-end framework provides is soft navigations, but if you’re going to use one, I shouldn’t be able to smell it.
