A Useful Guide to Bad Type
https://letterror.com/articles/bad-type.html

Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.

Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.

I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.

Hiut Denim | No Growth
https://hiutdenim.co.uk/pages/no-growth

I agree with the idea that businesses do not need to grow. Growth is the ideology of a tumor, of a parasite.

Overview ‹ Your Brain on ChatGPT — MIT Media Lab

The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design • Lea Verou
https://lea.verou.me/blog/2025/hovercar/

The idea that product (design) teams need a vision to work towards. The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn. And something we, as a school, should do as well?

A well informed rant against rutger bregman and his school for moral ambition, a powerwashing school for the elite, for them to feel good, but not to solve the issues they cause irl.

The Server Doesn't Render Anything
https://unplannedobsolescence.com/blog/the-server-doesnt-render/

Good article that explains that server side rendering does not exist.

If you love React and love using it—by all means. Just don’t mistake the complexity of React Server Components for complexity that is inherent to the web platform.

Is HSL really easier to use? • Chris Lilley
https://svgees.us/blog/hsl-bad.html

So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.

Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.
