i know this is nitpicky potatoes but this interaction between the macOS Tahoe Finder’s sidebar and status bar is truly wild.

it’s an extremely hard problem to solve! when you suddenly “float” a thing that has to sit directly next to lots of weird things

@cabel I am working on a Mac app and Tahoe’s design has filled me with despair. No idea what I’m going to do.

Like what even happened? Nothing makes sense. Their explanations are word salad

@dmd @marioguzman @cabel I was just trying to use Numbers Quick Filter. The UI is quite novel. Maybe random. Had to be done by an intern with no review.

@jgordon I think that’s giving the interns too little credit.

@[email protected] The issue is direction, not execution. It’s not that I’m not there, or that another designer isn’t there. It’s that the company put people in directorial roles who don’t have good taste. I have no doubt there are many designers at Apple who could pull off the right thing if given good direction or if they had more power to challenge those without good taste.
