as days pass by — A (limited) defence of footnotes
https://www.kryogenix.org/days/2025/07/03/a-limited-defence-of-footnotes/

Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.

Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face

The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?

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.

Beyond Bézier

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.

Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’ | de Volkskrant
https://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/luister-naar-moslimvrouwen-zegt-schrijver-houria-bouteldja-een-vrouw-met-hoofddoek-zegt-tegen-witte-mensen-ik-behoor-jou-niet-toe~bc577135d/

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

Interesting tool to see how music is linked. Works the same with all kinds of creativity and art of course, we could use more of these visualising tools

Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1

Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.

Overview ‹ Your Brain on ChatGPT — MIT Media Lab

Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.

Broken
Toolspace
https://letterror.com/articles/toolspace.html

Very interesting article about the idea that designer should make (hone) their own tools. Some quotes:

It is precisely the task of designers (graphic, industrial or whatever) to discover new possibilities.

Limitations and demands imposed by a client are easier to accept than the arbitrary limitations of your digital tools.

After all, programming graphic programs is much too important to leave to programmers.

Explorers, and that is what they are, do not want to do the same thing twice.
