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.

Do design system component libraries still need components? Not handcrafted framework-specific components. The future is AI integration and build-time generated components. Read about it for free on Medium. Github links to a POC in the story.

Excited to launch the Actor Whitepaper site: https://whitepaper.actor – introducing Actors, a serverless programming model bringing UNIX philosophy to cloud computing.

Created at @apify, I crafted every aspect:
• Complete UI/UX design
• 3D illustrations & animations
• Full development in Astro
• Custom components

This demonstrates my design engineer approach: designing interfaces and bringing them to life through code.
