Sustainable Web Design, An Excerpt
In the 1950s, many in the elite running community had begun to believe it wasnβt possible to run a mile in less than four minutes. Runners had been attempting it since the late 19th century and were beginning to draw the conclusion that the human body simply wasnβt built for the task. But on May 6, 1956, Roger Bannister took everyone by surprise. It was a cold, wet day in Oxford, Englandβconditions no one expected to...

Only in the last few millennia have we begun to commit our conversations to writing, and only in the last few decades have we begun to outsource them to the...

Community organizers are the glue that holds the Ethereum ecosystem together, and whether they're leading large-scale events, local meetups, hackathons or seminars, we might all be wandering in the dark forest of the analog world without them.

Published on: July 02, 2021 | Source:Asynchronous Design Critique: Getting Feedback
βAny comment?β is probably one of the worst ways to ask for feedback. Itβs vague and open ended, and it doesnβt provide any indication of what weβre looking for. Getting good feedback starts earlier than we might expect: it starts with the request. It might seem counterintuitive to start the process of receiving feedback with a question, but that makes sense if we realize that getting feedback can be thought of as a...

Feedback, in whichever form it takes, and whatever it may be called, is one of the most effective soft skills that we have at our disposal to collaboratively get our designs to a better place while growing our own skills and perspectives. Feedback is also one of the most underestimated tools, and often by assuming that weβre already good at it, we settle, forgetting that itβs a skill that can be trained, grown, and...
