so, newly updated apple design language feels like a solid improvement, albeit to a local maxima of european aesthetics

who are the (BIPOC/POC) designers and artists bringing a totally new visual language that we should all be paying attention (and money) to? instagram.com/jkeeree/ really digging @jkeeree 's work (h/t @303)

we're hiring a [staff] product designer! someone who's EXTREMELY very good at creating consensus, communication, thinking about processes/systems in an organization webflow.com/jobs?gh_jid=21…

but wtf is "staff"? and how does that differentiate from "senior"/mid-level? in my experience, i've seen a lot of folks make it up to a "senior" level title, more or less clear what the expectations are. in larger tech companies, i'd equate this to the "resting" level (e.g. IC5 @ FB)

I went thru interviews recently and it sucked

But i have a lot of learnings

Would writing about this be helpful?

Fave for yes, reply if curious specific parts (screening, folio preso, vetting, negotiations, deciding) Heres some example thoughts (maybe I can just tweet about it)

Interviewing when unemployed is actually super terrible. Most companies work at a timescale where they expect you to be working full time. Waiting weekends is excrutiating bc that's the same as a weekday to you

So everyone was joking about Konmari-ing their Twitter, but I went ahead and made a tool for that:

Say hello to ✨ Tokimeki Unfollow ✨!

Hang out with virtual me and go thru your follows one by one. Do their tweets spark joy? If not, hit [Unfollow]!

tokimeki-unfollow.glitch.me If you've ever actually konmari'd anything, you'll know it takes a LONG time and a LOT of hard decisions. I've been working on this tool for 3 weeks and I still haven't finished Konmari-ing my 1000 initial follow (now at 600~ left)

But if you finish, there's something waiting!
