The second part of my article on the value of explicit design rules is here. In it I dive head first into example in layout, position, ordering padding and margins with examples from various design tools. In the end of this part there's also a treasure trove of links to other insightful people writing on adjacent subjects. Hope you find it interesting and be swayed to try tools that allow for more expressive explicit design rules. https://lnkd.in/dmGpUHU6

UX Collective published my piece on Evolving from implicit intent to explicit design rules on Medium. It's a unified piece (unlike the original 2 part Substack posts), so for those of you who prefer one uninterrupted fun read - I suggest you check it out.

There’s a gap that I think gets under-appreciated in the wider product design community, between what the process of designing interfaces *feels like* while you mess around in the canvas and what it actually *is* when you need to make sure your designs are smart, flexible, responsive and utilizing the available space in the best way to fit dynamic content. That gap is between desired intent and explicit styling rules, and its easiest to spot when comparing different tools and what they allow and afford to do in various UI scenarios. So, of course I had to write a nuanced deep-dive on it, and this time I did under Jux's home Substack: 'a button state of mind'. Have a nice read! https://lnkd.in/dGArXdHg

Usually I'm on the other side of the mic, so it was refreshing to play the role of the interviewee this time :) We talked about the fundamental problem that keeps on making handoff such a fickle and unreliable thing, designers emotions, the balance between authority and accountability in the context of what designers choose to 'own', and we talked a bit about jux.io, where we try to solve exactly those problems.
Hey everyone! I am thrilled to announce a new episode of Juicy Patterns that you won't want to miss. This week, we have Erez Reznikov, principal designer at Jux, as our guest. Together, we dive into the challenges that designers and developers face during the handoff process and explore possible solutions within the design tool. We also discuss the importance of designers' authority, control, and accountability, and how a balanced approach can benefit the design process. Erez even shares some valuable insights into the obstacles that hold back new design tool adoption. Join us for this fascinating discussion at the intersection of design and development! #JuicyPatterns #DesignandDevelopment #uxui https://buff.ly/49sTRn9

This is part 2 of the 'Elements - not so elementary' series on Substack. In this second part I’ll go deeper to elaborate on some more ways communicating about components and elements is difficult, why classification is non-trivial, but chiefly about why that matters so much. Why the consequences of this difference are so important. To be on the positive side - I’ll compare two ways I see our industry is trying to overcome this problem, and which I prefer more. I’ll also provide links to valuable resources to help designers be more mindful of the caveats. Happy reading and do check all the links, a treasure trove is hidden in them. https://lnkd.in/dGUf67dU

As part of my work at JUX I need to research and dive deep into interactive elements, and especially on the non trivial, code related aspects of them. This leads to some illuminating 'a-ha' moments that reveal to me why handoff was so prone to not go smoothly in my past experience with developers. The system is rigged. It was rigged from the get go. To give a bit of a taste as to how code and visual design tools treat interactive elements (the basic components of the DS) differently I've written a 2 part post series on my Substack that you can read. Part 1 is here, Part 2 will be out in a couple of days, so stay tuned. https://lnkd.in/dj-Pa9C6

There's really no limit (and I hoped there would be) to how ignorant and self sabotaging some people in the west might become. This is really next level masochism.. Really, it's like having an auto immune reaction to an attacking virus, instead of a proper immune reaction. I mean, I get the sentiment of 'oooh, this was sorta forbidden knowledge, but now I'm aware' type of thinking, and 'here's someone punching up and sticking it to the man' vibes, but come the f*ck on.. Bin Laden being the bad guy? 9/11? Like, the only issue that Americans ever had a consensus about? You want to challenge your thinking by some 'radical' deep thinker who was violent to achieve his goals - read the Unabomber's manifesto, at least challenge your mental capacity a bit (and then come to the conclusion that he was still completely wrong).
Ladies and Gentlemen 9/11 is justified 🤩 Dani Buller dives into the infamous letter Osama Bin Laden wrote to America that everyone is fan girling over. It's fascinating, really! TLDR: Radical Islam 👍 Everything else 👎

Wow. I've seen the picture of the reporters of CNN and photographers taking close up shots of kidnapped bleeding civilians (which is already pornographic to begin with) but I didn't think to put 1 and 1 together to remember that this was Saturday early morning, and they were with full gear, ready for 'surprise attack', which means they were notified very early about this. And instead doing something to warn Israel of the coming massacre, they waited to get good pictures. This is just bellow immoral. Kinda makes the word 'headshot' literal again in the context of reporting photography..
Are We Trading Lives for Headlines? Uncovering CNN’s Controversial Role in a Tragic Event😔 I’m deeply troubled by the recent revelations about CNN’s role in the tragic events of October 7th. According to a source, CNN, along with the Associated Press, allegedly had foreknowledge of the horrific attack but chose silence over warning the public. This decision, purportedly made to secure exclusive coverage, reportedly cost numerous innocent lives. If true, this is a stark betrayal of journalistic ethics. The primary duty of news media is to inform and protect the public, not to trade lives for headlines. By choosing sensationalism over safety, these organizations have not only failed their audience but also compromised their integrity and humanity. This incident, though still under scrutiny for its validity, is a glaring example of how media giants can falter, driven by the pursuit of ratings over responsibility. It’s a wake-up call for us all to demand better from those who deliver our news. We must hold CNN and other media accountable, ensuring that truth and ethics triumph over sensationalism and self-interest. CNN #ethics

My 2nd blogpost of the Design Nuance Substack. This time I try to make the point that the canvas, the digital canvas that is the fabric of most of the design apps that we are using, is limiting product designers from fulfilling their potential of designing stuff for the real, live, coded products. Check it out, and subscribe if you want to not miss the next ones https://lnkd.in/d_AVaPdJ

Ask yourself after watching this short but terrifying video clip - what should a country do to mobs of people chanting and inciting to genocide its people? Order to arresting all of them? Dropping a bomb in the middle of the human mass there? Ignoring? Guess what Israel does most of the time? Yeah, it's the ignoring part. And these are civilians is Ramallah, West bank, right to north of Jerusalem, Israels Capital. So.. giving these people full self governance after the Gaza 2005 withdrawal experiment of the last 18 years? Without having military control? Yeah, sure. No prob. What could happen, right? Remember this next time you read an article about all the innocent people in Gaza now being bombarded. The line is super duper blurry. It's a cultural, societal, deep indoctrination. Just like Nazism, but for much much longer a period, with deeper religious roots for justification and motivation. You just can't allow yourself to not have the highest level of alertness and borderline paranoia with neighbors like these. Self defense and preservation are the most important instincts people have. When a bunch of people who either live nearby or have influence nearby you constantly chant for your complete genocide, again and again, after actively trying to do that (and in the past almost succeeding by Hitler) - it's very reasonable, even expected you'll get aggressively defensive. Just have that in mind as context.
We often hear "but there are many innocent civilians in Gaza / West Bank", and so "the Israeli reaction is unproportional". In this video you can see people are marching and shouting in Ramallah: "Whoever has a weapon and hides it for weddings (!), either start killing Jews or give it to Hamas" October 27, 2023
