My goal is to have one course going at all times. Keeps the ol' brain malleable.

As I'm getting close to wrap up "#UX Personas and User Research" on #IxDF, I bought "JavaScript for Everyone" from @piccalilli

Looking forward to getting started on it!

Working on a Stepper component today. Can't plug The Component Gallery enough. Next to MDN and WAI APG Patterns, this is my go-to resource.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote here about the design engineering role. I decided to write it up in a blog post

https://rosenqvist.design/posts/How-to-become-Design-Engineer-as-Designer.html

Learning to code is relatively straight forward with loads of resources that can help you. Creating a new role in your organization, that is also a hybrid role, is the hard part. I’ve never seen any guide to do that and it would need to be tailored to each organization

How to Go from Design to Design Engineering

Moving from design to design engineering is challenging but achievable. Here's the technical and organizational hurdles to look out for.

Idk if anything gives me the urge to redesign my personal website more than a type foundry releasing a new web page for a new font.

I’ve been reading up on the #designengineer role. The last few years I’ve been writing more and more code both professionally and in my own projects so maybe I should understand this role better?

I also work with many quite junior #ux designers and I want to be able to guide them and give some good advice now that the industry is changing so much

📝 Really enjoyed this idea of a "ruthless edit" from Rick Rubin. Even went so far as to try and explain it visually

The Ruthless Edit

Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web.

Going through the struggle of explaining to managers and colleagues where I and a co-worker fit in the reorg. We believe it's in the (small) Design Team with two UI/UX Designers, but Management seems set on putting us under Engineering.

@brad_frost Would you say the title front-end designer ever caught on? Or am I better of using something else like UI/UX Engineer, UI Developer, Design Engineer to frame our skill set and responsibilities?
