It turns out that it's been a year since the last #BookmarkBeat 🥁 I have a lot of good links to share (and some thoughts, as always)

Check it out on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/bookmarkbeat/p/bookmark-beat-ep-25?r=1yus&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

@shellsharks thanks for reading! Glad you're liking the #BookmarkBeat 🥁

I hope that this list of links, however small or silly, gets you to think about the things that really matter to you. From art and design to cool sites hiding in the corners of the internet, this collection of mine achieves just a bit more meaning when it’s shared with others. https://bookmarkbeat.substack.com/p/bookmark-beat-ep-24

Bookmark Beat: EP 24

Life is for learning things together

This month on the #BookmarkBeat 🥁 I share my thoughts about when aligning a #design to a standard pattern can be useful and when we should feel comfortable straying from them. https://bookmarkbeat.substack.com/p/bookmark-beat-ep-23

Of course, there's also the regular selection of things on the web that caught my attention: from trash parks and a million checkboxes to treatises on the potential upsides of #AI development

On the nature of patterns, first principles and inclusionary design

In this month's #BookmarkBeat 🥁 I try to figure out how to get past the awkwardness of asking detailed-oriented questions in a meeting or user interview. I also share a bunch of cool links that came across my browser these past two months ✨

Breaking things down into the smallest pieces

This month on the #BookmarkBeat 🥁 I compare standups to a good workout. Specifically how standups create mini moments of vulnerability to make it easier to be in situations where an issue is urgent and communication needs to happen more quickly.

Standups and blameless cultures

This month on the #BookmarkBeat🥁 , I'm sharing bookmarks ranging from the state of the tech industry to an archaeological revival of ancient Greek music. I also reflect on what role design might play in companies whose product development processes don't *really need to* center the user.

Instead, I look for other ways to employ our skills (and, hopefully, *keep us employed*).
