The #LabourManifesto is going to make a substantial difference to my post-tax income. If I never needed healthcare, or didn’t want my son to get a good education, and didn’t worry about being cared for in my old age, or didn’t care about an ever rising pension age, or didn’t…
care about the climate crisis, and wasn’t horrified by universal credit, and didn’t think a two-tiered education system was inherently wrong, and didn’t care about anyone else who was affected by any of those things, then it would seem like a lot of money to sacrifice, but...
if you asked me to put a price on those things, or rather a value - it would be far greater than the extra tax I’ll be willingly handing over to a Labour government to try and tackle all of those things.

What else could I spend that money on that’s more important than that?

I’ve been running design organisations for almost eight years now. First as the senior-most IC in a design immature company where I was trying to establish a design practise, then as it’s head of design, and most recently in that same role in a more design mature company.
Here are some things I believe based on that experience:
1. Running a design organisation consists mostly of work that no one sees, and that even fewer people understand. To some people, this can make the work seem trivial or easy, to others, superfluous. One has to decide in a daily basis whether to work on…

I know I bang on a lot about Facebook, but I think it’s important that people in our industry speak candidly about what that particularly company is culpable for, and why we should stop giving it our attention and the cash they harvest from it.
It’s entirely possible to get out of the Facebook ecosystem without becoming a social recluse, here are some alternative services you should try:
1. @Cocoon_HQ is a great replacement for keeping in touch with close family and friends. It is quiet, responsibly designed and doesn’t try and overreach beyond being a solid, private place for close-knit groups.

Emailing people is also really great, you should check it out.

I was saying mere days ago that the fact that there are no comparable examples of Facebook in Europe should be seen as a mark of success, not failure.
Perhaps whomever it is that reads my tweets at Downing Street was confused. This is absolutely *not* what we should be aiming for.
We should be trying to work out how to sustain a tech sector that creates lots of good jobs and lots of tax income, yes - but not under a single massive entity, rather dozens of companies competing and contributing, paying actual tax and creating actual value to the economy.

The combined impact of these two factors - longer working hours, and more productivity per-hour - is an almost 20% increase in worker productivity over office working. So any rational business will conclude this is on the whole, very positive.
Yes, remote working in not a panacea and not all workers or all businesses are the same - but the rising wave of anti-remote working which is being led by the government is not out of concern for those without adequate space to work from home, or for the loss of camaraderie in...
The workforce (the Tories are terrified of the prospect of a unified working class). They couldn’t give a shit about you. Their motivations are twofold:

“…in 96% of cases grades were the same as submitted by teachers or were just one grade different”.

So, in all but 4% of cases, grades were the same, or different. Thanks Michael. So glad you’re using the official government website for publishing your drivel.

Be better.
“pupils from lower socio economic backgrounds are slightly more likely to have a difference between the grade proposed by their teachers their final grades at C and above”

What you’ve done, is that you’ve debunked the criticism by explicitly confirming that it is correct.
I can’t believe I have to contribute towards the salary you’re woefully undeserving of.

Terrible news for all of the great folks working at @bookingdesign. If I can help anyone there with finding new opportunities, advice or connections - my DMs are open.
One way or another, an event like this was inevitable at Booking. When the going was good, the attitude in product and engineering in particular was to just keep growing, hire as quickly as possible, swell the ranks as much as possible.
The idea was that Booking’s model of experiment-driven product development meant they could almost infinitely scale the size of their product development teams in a real life human reimagining of the monkeys/typewriters/Shakespeare gag.
