Few years ago, I saw Bret Victor's visual timeline of their career and work, and I always wanted to do it for myself.

I could do it this week.

I do not understand anything on this page by Microsoft

* It asks me to sign in to learn more but I am already signed in. I cannot see any other Sign in option.
* I am not sure what top right means. Is it my top right or screen's top right?
* It cannot identify my device type?
* I am confused by the content structure—how the button is part of the text itself. There is no hierarchy either.

They have purposefully designed it for the random channel in Slack. Brilliant job by the Microsoft content design and UX writing team.

I tend to avoid sharing such news but this is much bigger than what it appears to be. AI whistleblower Suchir Balaji found dead—mostly looks like a suicide. Their one of the recent tweets.

This is not about ClosedAI, OpenAI, CrossroadsAI, WhateverAI—this is about us—each one of us.

In my last IC work, the org had a profitable B2B2C SaaS product but the design team did not have a design system.

I called the team and asked them to write down a few reasons of why we need a design system. They wrote:
— Consistency in design
— Speed in design operations
— Faster shipping
— Common reference for all the teams
— Saves time & cost

None of them said *Product metrics or SaaS metrics*.

We started the DS journey backwards from these metrics.
Uphill, slow, windy. But more fruitful.

Meanwhile in a product team who are designing the next generation AI-powered innovative and disruptive technology solution.

PS: This is not a UX or design fail. It happens because they do not have content designers or product content strategists on board.

An excellent example of common sense design:

SPACE10 closed last year and today while searching something, I wrote SPACE10 in Google search. The SPACE10 website title itself shows that they have closed last year.

How wonderful it is.
