I drink mostly decaf coffee these days and I'm really excited about Wimp from my friend Matthew and friends: wimpdecaf.com/

Welcome to Wimp, a very chill revolution. No pitchforks or storming the castle — just decaf, the underdog of coffee, coming to play with the big kids.

I sent a newsletter that mentioned politics and only got 1 unsubscribe, I'd consider that a win. Also most of the newsletter is about a really good book I read: tedgoas.beehiiv.com/p/road-less-st…

My favorite Figma #Config2024 talk so far is Joyce Croft's talk on emotional intelligence. Because design is more about working with people than working with tools: youtube.com/watch?v=JLjcdZ…
Config 2024: Design as therapy: emotional dynamics of aerospace engineering | Figma
Config 2024: Design as therapy: emotional dynamics of aerospace engineering As a designer at NASA JPL, Joyce wears many hats – researcher, designer, interviewer, UXer, pixel pusher, collaborator, translator, educator, strategist, leader – and her engineer coworkers believe that designers just make things pretty. Joyce works with system engineers to build a software suite that helps JPL model new mission concepts. To do that, she has to build trust to listen to engineers gripe about historical tools, methods, and processes. A lot of times, they talk endlessly about problems and pain points. Joyce is their therapist. Featuring: Joyce Croft, Senior Human-Centered Designer, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
