AddTips for enterprise UX. If we do this at CMD, this could be interesting
A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.
Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.
The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim.
In retrospect, this accident of history has been a disaster, since almost all the opinions pushed by the commercial propaganda were false, and, in addition, the propaganda has been so effective that for many those opinions have become dogmata that can no longer be challenged without committing heresy.
The missing article on font size on websites, while also taking the user’s preference seriously.

Very, very long piece about stuff around the disability pride flag, some sort of weird conflict it seems to have with an earlier disability flag. Some interesting observations about what it really means to design with a community as well.
Pacifisme is de oplossing.
When anyone can produce something that looks good, the question becomes not “Can you make this?” but “Can you tell if it’s any good?” Or: “Can you make it better?”
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.
[AI hype companies are] selling the idea that doing things is worthless.
Long, but very good read about hype, that the author calls Whatever.
Excellent resource about the UX of specific HTML elements in different screenreaders.
Prachtige visualisaties van vogels in amsterdam
Excellent explanation of why box-sizing: content-box can be useful.
The fascinating idea that time moved slower in right after the big bang
Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.
Excellent article for discussions about privacy
Making a git repo, completely manually. A clever explanation about how git works, and what it does.
All the details about ‘Coding Independent Code Points (CICP) for color space identification’
Brrrr, date in javascript is even worse than I thought. Ridiculous.
Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.
