Dust jackets on book drive me crazy. They just slide off and make it harder to hold. Why do we still have them? Have we not innovated in the book domain to come up with better technology?

I'm not sure if this is a recent trend or not, but my favorite thing I've noticed about UI design lately is using off-white / paper-like background colors. I find it to be so much more soothing than stark white UI. Claude being the most recent example.

How is it that text on Windows is still so bad? I attempted to edit a Google doc while on my gaming PC and I could not believe how bad the text rendering looked compared to my Mac. I figured this would be a solved thing by now. Am I missing some sort of configuration option?

I don't know how to write software (or make good UI mockups) - that said, it seems like a BUTTON that says something DO THIS NOW would be really useful.

I’ve been thinking about what a Product Manager does. I was reviewing frameworks like CIRCLES, but felt like that was incomplete/off and (more to the point) doesn’t show *relationships* between different activities. I whipped this up (in preparation for a job interview).

Thoughts?

Pink stuff = what exists
Blue = what we (mostly) control
Purple = where those things overlap
