The past couple of years has left us with a joy deficit. When we picture a post-Covid world, we imagine having our old lives back. But we can actually go a step further and make up for the missed experiences, flipping the deficit into a surplus. If Covid has given us anything, it’s a rare chance for a reset. Let’s take it.
Depressing math indeed, but it is always better to be aware so we can do something about it. Than ignoring the inevitable.

@ramiroruiz @rosiesherry Hey there Ramiro. Which part are thinking might be time-consuming, building the company or ensuring it's community-led?
I'm a mom too and can relate. It helps that our co-founders are quick to iterate on what works/doesn't. At early stage, "action" is quite slow too
Initiating, I’m by myself in this project and I’m not sure if the time I need to build a solid data base that would be attractive to the community be worth it.
Happy to being proven wrong. But my model doesn’t expect to charge people from the community.

Design advice that stuck with me. It’s easier to critique than create. Lately I’ve been feeling extra critique-y in some areas. Whenever I notice this I remind myself that I need to do the extra work to propose a solution instead of just point out the problems
True, and also is easier to edit than creating the first version.
Sometimes it may feel like the reviewer is way better but is actually not the hardest part.

Who is exploring building companies with a real community mindset?
I see so many companies breaking internally — surely community starts from within?
I'd love to chat, explore, mingle, collaborate.
I am ✋but I haven’t really started yet.
To be honest I’m somewhat afraid how time consuming it will be until I can make any kind of remuneration. And as a father. I try to be careful with how I spend my free time.

I've been thinking of sharing my thoughts about the term "designing in the browser" and why I think it should be called "tweaking in the browser" instead.
Would you be interested in such an article?
Yeah, I remember when that term started to come up. The first person I saw it mentioned was @Malarkey
I use to do that back then, not anymore. Big coincidence that yesterday I publish a post talking about that and other past processes I used. https://t.co/uQ1EQ7qfdm

Am I the only one that will paste content into VSCode, only to copy it again, to remove formatting?
I use safari’s address bar or the iMessages text box ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you!
And yes 100% recommend https://t.co/Dfx5HX2MH6. It is very straightforward, and I certainly don’t need a lot. Is just to satisfy my curiosity from time to time.

How old were you when you accepted you’ll never be done “polishing” your personal website? This perpetual redesign is no longer a phase.

@ramiroruiz @darylginn Why is a design never finished?
Design needs to meet business needs, and those evolve and change with time. Same with trends and the people that business is trying to serve.
They’re certainly milestones but I don’t think we should design a piece and forget about it. Is an iterative process.

If you could time travel, will you go to the future or to the past and do you have a year and place to go in your mind?

If you could give some design advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Get comfortable sharing WIP designs sooner. That doesn’t make you a bad designer and the outcome will be better.
Remember that a design is never finished.
