Working with Shadow DOM, which is what I do most of my time, made me realize when working on a Light DOM CSS feature, how messy it can get. I get why some may think that adding more capabilities to CSS is a little crazy. But all I want is more!

I will talk about new accessibility improvements and what’s new in the @podmandesktop design system at the Community Meeting this Thursday. Please join me – it will be a fun ride! #a11y #DesignEngineering #inclusivedesign #DesignSystems

It's been a bit of a week. So much so that it resulted in a new blog post.

Front-end doesn't exist

Deskilling has led to a lack of front-end developers and the awareness of which skills are actually needed to hire for

That was one way of saying “no” out of many during ten months of job hunting. I wrote about all of them – the silence, the cruelty, the structural rejections, and the AI moment I should have seen coming. Also: friend’s question that ended the search in one sentence.

99 Resumes – Václav Vančura

Ten months. Roughly a hundred applications. Fifty-three declined, forty-four never replied, and ten I walked away from. This is what looking for work at forty-seven looked like.

I keep an eye out for how well LLMs do with CSS coding. Most web stuff is improving. CSS, however, is still lagging considerably.

Design and Engineering as one

This long read by Matthias is too good to get lost in my Mastodon favorites:

When design decisions are made in tools that have no concept of state, of time, of viewport, of the real unpredictability of content, you stop designing for the Web. You design a fiction of the Web. And then you hand that fiction to engineers, who absorb in the process all the compromises and assumptions that were hidden inside the original fiction matthiasott.com

As a person who's interest and professional education started in Graphic Design and then moved to working in and for The Web, this article rings so many bells and describes exactly why I always felt that I could give way more to the projects than the role that I often was asigned to ('needs only to be developed') in that waterfallish project flow.

Design and Engineering, As One · Matthias Ott

We inherited our product processes from a 19th-century steel works. Frederick Winslow Taylor separated thinking from doing, managers from makers, designers from builders – and a hundred years later, most digital product teams are still running on that model. The gap between design and engineering isn’t an accident. It was designed in. And it can be designed out.

🤦‍♂️ Oh no, not another tech apocalypse! Claude Code's Opus 4.5 is here to turn everyone into a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. Get ready for a thrilling saga of engineers pretending to be designers, and designers pretending to be engineers, while PMs are just...pretending. 🎭💻

Will Claude Code ruin our team?

AI coding is blurring the lines between engineers, PMs, and designers. In the short-term, it's going to cause havoc. What happens long-term?

Fridays are for button updates, too. They seem simple, but get them wrong and you'll lock out millions of users. We found 12 accessibility failures in our current button component, including two that violate WCAG Level A standards. (1/6)

Come work with me to define the future of product design education in Aotearoa!

We’re looking for an early career or mid career researcher with a strong background in teaching and design practice and experience delivering apps with modern web platform or game engine technology. We’d also love to hear from researchers with deep expertise in type design and font engineering; information architecture and data visualisation; or similar niches adjacent to product design who might thrive in our unique interdisciplinary context.
