These days, designers largely observe industry best practices to build approachable products. Many of these practices are codified into design systems and easy to implement, making straightforward, well-designed — albeit simply designed — sites and apps ubiquitous.
Think of the machines, then, as beasts. It’s not a new comparison, just the inversion of an old one. Rene Descartes compared the cries of a wounded dog to the sound of a malfunctioning machine; he called animals bêtes-machine.

As organizations, product complexity, and new feature launches have accelerated, so has the difficulty of maintaining cohesion and consistency. Digital designers need to adopt a systems mindset, finding ways to build scalable solutions to product problems.
Software Is Automating Design. What Does That Mean For Designers?
People make sacrifices to fit into what they are told will make them a “good person, “ and not all of those sacrifices are worth it, because they sometimes ask you to harm yourself more than you are helping someone else.
You Are Not a “Good Person”
If our fear of the chaos raging around us leads us to put our trust in machines so that we don’t have to trust one another, we relinquish the reciprocity that lets us advance our shared humanity, and those bleak assumptions about humans being immutably selfish turn into self-fulfilling prophecy.

12 March 2022 update: I’m changing the title of this song from “Lubay” to “Lubay Bulay” so give context to the shifting and contrasting melodies.
Happy Chinese new year! Padaluyin natin ang magandang suerte sa pamamagitan ng pag let go sa mga nakaraan — mapabagay man yan o pangyayari. Hindi man siya madali, kailangan nating subukan.
Sa pag let go lang tayo makaka-move on nang mas magaaan kesa dati. Sa ganitong paraan din magkakaroon ng puwang muli ang mga bago at mas magagandang bagay sa buhay natin.
Related sa letting go and moving on itong tutugtugin ko, na nagsimula sa isang set ng chords na ayaw akong lubayan, parang siyang LSS. Parati ko siyang tinutugtog para mahanap ko yung tamang timpla pero hindi ko talaga makuha. Parang gusto niyang ipanganak sa mundo regardless sa hitsura niya. Ganun pa man, tatapusin ko na siya para lubayan niya na ako.

It is almost easier to define what hybrid work is by looking at what it isn’t. Is your company fully-remote? Is it fully in-person? If your answer is no to both of these questions, then you are hybrid.
Song of the week
At the core, anxiety and feelings of overwhelm feed one another. The more overwhelmed you are, the more anxious you feel; the more anxious you are, the more overwhelmed you feel.
Relevancy is an important attribute of information, determined by its context and the pre-existing knowledge of the information consumer. With relevancy, people are able to make information out of plain data. Adding context to a data set is the way information can be used by humans.
If you’re a designer or developer, it’s your job to push back on the notion of consistency when it begins to affect a user’s experience. Remember design is how it works, and work is not the same on every device.
One important component of hype is thus a set of promises of what the technology can achieve in the future for you dear reader. These might range from solving a particularly annoying problem to creating new markets, making you heaps of money, or even revolutionizing a whole field and changing society as a whole.

If multiple teams were given the same goal to achieve then many of the principles of agility would organically begin to show up. Teams would have to self-organize ways of communicating between each other, knowledge management, status reporting, blockers, dependencies and everything in between.
All of these sorries raise the question of whether any harm is actually done when someone commits the sin of unavailability. Granted, there can be real consequences to responding slowly in a culture that considers idleness, or even just the appearance of it, to be a moral shortcoming.
To design for systems rather than users, we must shift into a dynamic posture. Systems are ever-changing and success metrics are too limited a goalpost, instead we may be better served thinking in terms of incentives and consequences.
Abstract thinking is essential in order to solve complex problems, come up with innovative ideas, and collaborate with other people. It allows us to analyse situations, understand new concepts, formulate theories, and to put things in perspective.
People have made money through cryptocurrency speculation, those people are interested in spending that cryptocurrency in ways that support their investment while offering additional returns, and so that defines the setting for the market of transfer of wealth.

What happens to impression formation when we see and hear each other through video on a regular basis? Visual cues in video conferences, such as camera angle and a partner’s distance to the screen, may have large perceptual consequences on impression development.
Géraldine Fauville, Anna C. M. Queiroz, Mufan Luo, Jeffrey Hancock, and Jeremy N. Bailenson
So much data had accumulated, he argued, and computers were already so much better than us at finding relationships within it, that our theories were being exposed for what they were – oversimplifications of reality.
As video conferences give an increased importance to the faces of the participants while hiding the rest of their body, measuring how individuals perceive the social traits of these faces is central to the impression formation.
Impression Formation From Video Conference Screenshots: The Role of Gaze, Camera Distance, and Angle
These are the kinds of relationships — fleeting but indicative of significant eras in life — whose memories older generations may have kept neatly enclosed in picture albums as they, quite separately, moved on to different stages of life.
The most important variable was the stories people told and the emotions they suddenly stumbled upon. And that was the only thing you couldn’t measure and couldn’t predict with foresight. That’s why the results don’t compute.

Nawa’y nakapag-celebrate kayo kasama ng mga kapamilya, kamag-anak at mga kaibigan nang ligtas syempre. Marami tayong maipagpapasalamat.
Sa simula ng taon na ito, isang maganda paalala na lagi tayong mag-menor. Bumagal mula sa tulin ng takbo natin. Pwede ring umatras at bumalik para magnilay-nilay. Take one step at a time, ika nga. Sa kabuuan, maranasan natin ang balance sa iba-ibang anggulo ng buhay natin.
Sa pagtingin natin sa di kalayuan, hangarin natin na magkaroon ng linaw kung saan natin gusto pumunta at ating tahakin ang daan papunta doon. Isang suggestion ko, isulat mo ang mga gusto mong makamit ngayon taon. Sino mo gusto maging? Saan mo gusto pumunta? O kahit maging malinaw lang sayo kung nasaan ka ngayon, malaking bagay na yun.
