@tylersticka Long time AKG user. They have a wide range of open and closed back options in variety designs and price points. They have a good sound to price ratio. Have owned a few models over the years; currently enjoying K553 closed back. Comfortable for longer stretches when recording or working than say Beyer Dynamics.

@brad_frost Was listening to Temple jazz station in Philadelphia. A local band was playing in studio. They sounded interesting. I could not figure out how to spell the band’s name for the life of me, but remembered the DJ comparing them to John Zorn. I could spell that! 25 years later: very happy I could spell “Zorn”. Rearranged my head and opened my ears to so much music.

@inthehands Buttons, for similar reasons, are one of the harder things to nail in a design system. Looking at the “Button” gives you great insight into the philosophy and architecture of a system; that is if it’s going to fall on its face

@martin_fennec Finally we will be able to rest

@kajord Compostable code is actually good architecture. Designed to be deprecated. Designed to break down or change and not poison code around it. Composable code should be compostable.

@tylersticka @brad_frost 100% this! Use the system and let it evolve. Don’t build on spec and don’t let perfect be the enemy of shipped!

@lolgop did this last night. It was great! Doing it again tonight!

@brad_frost The best design system is the one you use. Expressiveness/flexibility is more important than the narrow view of consistency.

@leaverou @karger Congrats on your finishing! Sounds infinitely better than fighting MS Word every step of the way. Citations and results tables were particularly fragile. I don’t know how many times I grumbled that it’d be easier to code. And I barely knew how to code back then …
