Big deal
after six and nine years respectively, me and @narrowd left L̶e̶d̶ ̶Z̶e̶p̶p̶e̶l̶i̶n̶ stripe a couple of months ago. what we did at stripe/press over the years was a big deal for us, and i don't want to diminish it by making jokes or reducing a tough decision to "we made the difficult decision to leave". maybe we’ll write a book. i will miss some of our enemies and all of our friends. art directing books and designing websites for @stripepress was an honor. we will miss the chaos of it all 🫡

as much progress as AI has made in generating Actually Good code, it feels like we've made 0.01% progress in generating Actually Good interfaces.

Spent a few hours refreshing my personal site. It's full of micro-details and hidden elements... ∆ · ◌◌◌ · ∆ Including an HTML in Canvas API astroid game where the page is the battlefield with enemy glyphs, elite units, lethal network connections, power-ups and levels.

There’s a law named after 3d graphics pioneer Jim Blinn that’s roughly: If rendering a frame takes 1hr today, it'll take 1hr next year, regardless of tech progress. What changes is the complexity of what goes into each frame. This may be generalizable.

Build an idea, not a business. Share work rather than guard it. Find collaborators rather than competitors. Move culture rather than markets. Build an idea, not a business.
