We’ve been testing how machine-readable our design system documentation is. Turns out, AI agents and humans benefit from exactly the same qualities:

A total KO of design feedback that I’ve never quite processed, but tl;dr this is why I do product design and front-end now.
Therapy session over, as you were.
Most of the feedback was acceptable – a rewrite here, larger visuals there, the usual. Suddenly a Creative Director not attached to the project swooped in with this absolute corker:
“Can you make the slides more modern and optimistic, less Thatcher’s Britain”
💀
In all of my career, the one piece of design feedback that has persistently haunted me was this:
I’d wrapped up slides which were going to be presented back to a client – the client being a large, British aviation company (coincidentally also the first initials of one of the A-Team, y’know?).
Hah ditto – particularly neighbours who are retired are the most organised I find! 😂
Randomly needs a Selenium server set up to pull the data but plain sailing after that. Home Assistant is bloody brilliant though.
Screenshot of my home assistant summary from iOS. It is showing widgets for some of my smart devices including bin collection summaries from the council. Much love for Home Assistant and its community!
Pissing it down this morning so spent some time tinkering with Home Assistant and have now added our council bin collection times to the homepage summary. Yes, I’m middle aged.
Depends the way the wind is blowing, surely.

Geri always makes accessibility .. accessible. Plenty of light bulb moments in this post that I’ll be taking away.

Moving on from the long, slow eye roll, I’m stumped as to how a stylised Chrome browser and an AI experiment fit in to Atlassian’s product plans.
Jeffrey Zeldman’s “Fear of Style Sheets” article from A List Apart in 2000. The table-based three-pane layout employs garish colors and poorly spaced navigation in 1990s club flyer type. The A List Apart logo at the top left includes the words “For people who make websites.” "The title illustration is unsubtle and in your face.
25 years ago. Bit o’ nostalgia for the old folks.
Great. When can we expect content hugging for both rows and columns in the beta? Thats the only thing preventing my team from using this effectively.
Woop! Looking forward to it.

My advice to any person exploring design <> code through AI is to first take a step back and learn some HTML and CSS basics. Removing a text-align: center yourself rather than wrestling prompts to fix your prototype is a much quicker and better use of your time.
We’ve been trialling this internally and no matter what way you look at it, you’re in for the worst time if you’re a designer with zero front-end knowledge or experience.
