New blog post! A close look at Tahoe menu icons. With 109 illustrations! https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/
It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons

Looking at the first principles of icon design—and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.

The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.

@jaffathecake just a heads up that the angle brackets in the heading for this article are messing with my RSS reader 😅
Hey folks.
My position as the eng lead of the Polaris #DesignSystem was made redundant the other day. I’m now looking for what’s next. Let me know if there are any positions out there for a remote eng director working remotely from APAC. I managed team across all time zones, love getting up early.

@daringfireball this is an extremely bad take.
Most of the time, I get hired to fix things as a consultant developer that would not be broken if they had been designed more thoughtfully in the first place. Sound familiar? But here's the thing: I'm not a developer. I studied art and design at university, including how to design websites. But they didn't teach me how to code, even though that's most of the work. So, in early employment, I had to ""steal company time"" to learn how to do that and be better at my job, as a designer.

If you have a Synology NAS and use Safari's "Add to Dock" feature for your DSM, I threw together a quick icon for it.

There's probably better ones out there, but I did a quick search and didn't see anything so I just created this one. Figured I'd share it.
