The thing I love about software development is there is endless possible solutions. The thing I hate about software development is it’s rare to feel finished with many of said solutions.

The really ironic thing about the JavaScript ecosystem is that we build on top of the web – the most stable platform the world has ever seen, with unmatched backwards compatibility – and we do so with tools that go from version 10 to version 20 every week just for fun

Whenever I see arguments against `cursor: pointer` on the buttons that say that the OS does not change a cursor for the buttons, I want to remind people what these “modern” OSes do to scrollbars (removing buttons, making them overlays, completely hiding sometimes).

Remediation is a chance to learn *why*, and then teach the team.

*Why* was this system performing the way it did? *Why* was it designed that way? *Why* wasn't there observability in place to catch this? *Why* will these changes make the system faster? *Why* will we avoid regression in the future?

If native web share needs the url to share ready onClick what’s an enticing design pattern to get a secondary click from the user. Seems to me the only thing to do is create a secondary share UI view with share links and a native share option. #ux #uxdesign #share
