The Norwegian Consumer Council made a video about enshittification and got 2.5M views and 168K likes on IG. (If the style feels familiar, it was created by NewsLab, the same advertising agency that made the brilliant Visit Oslo video from a few years back.)

Your surroundings will shape what you think is good product design vs. what actually is usable.
When you’re building software in San Francisco:
Surrounded by sober Ivy League engineers who go to sleep at 8pm and have a perfectly balanced diet (i.e., human computers)
What America actually is:
• 23% of Americans have some form of mental illness
• 20% of Americans have more than 6 drinks per day
It’s actually surprising that anyone gets through any signup process at all. Try to do the email confirmation flow after 6 drinks.

The holographic stickers ... the tactile audio ... the SHRINK WRAP!? Officially obsessed with the luscious new home my team built for @Shopify Editions.
Check the mobile experience for a glimpse into their commitment to the metaphor. Design joy radiates.

I asked chatgpt's new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The results genuinely gave me chills.
I'll post them all in a thread below.

Starting today, we're archiving a large backlog of outdated, unhelpful, and untrusted reviews from the Shopify App Store. We're serious about trust and that means dealing with fake reviews - both positive ones that unfairly boost rankings, and negative ones that do the opposite. When it comes to reviews, quality > quantity.

Thanks to this anonymous user, I now have preferred terms for output tokens and thinking tokens: “yap” and “juice.” Future model cards should include yap & juice statistics.
Now we just need as good a term for the size of the context window.

Not everything needs to be a Swiss Army Knife, an Instant Pot, or Amazon Prime. There’s a great usefulness to multifunctional tools and platforms, there’s also a beauty in focus and speciality that can solve one problem really well.

the worst part about being a product designer is knowing you’ll never come up with an idea this good again

There are moments when I catch a glimpse of myself in the window glass, say, the window of the corner video store, and I'm gripped by a cherishing so deep for my own blowing hair, chapped face, and unbuttoned coat that I'm speechless:
I am living. I remember you.
