One of the ways in which Swift helps us write more robust code is through its concept of value types, which limit the way that state can be shared across API boundaries. That’s because, when using value types, all mutations are (by default) only performed to local copies of the values that we’re working with, […]
Security is important. Nobody wants to be the person advocating for less security. So nobody wants to say it. But somebody has to say it. So I guess I’ll say it. The way npm audit works is broken. Its rollout as a default after every npm install was rushed, inconsiderate, and inadequate for the front-end […]
Technology products are embedded in every aspect of daily life from homes, cars, phones, schools, workplaces. They’re in entertainment, healthcare, safety, and beyond. While technology is often billed as making things easier, faster, cheaper, and fairer, it can cause harm at scale. People face frustration, harassment, financial loss, physical harm, and more. What are “Flawed […]
Enterprises often have a simplistic understanding of navigational structures in UX Design. Companies shy away from messing with known organizational schemas for fear that their users or customers will become confused and run away. We don’t give our users enough credit.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of working with regular expressions as raw strings. I […]

In 2006 I started a lighting blog while working full-time as a staffer at The Baltimore Sun. By early 2007, it became obvious that I didn’t have the personal resources to give 100% to both Strobist and my job at the newspaper. That’s exactly the position I find myself in today. For the past year […]
“Any comment?” is probably one of the worst ways to ask for feedback. It’s vague and open ended, and it doesn’t provide any indication of what we’re looking for. Getting good feedback starts earlier than we might expect: it starts with the request. Article Continues Below It might seem counterintuitive to start the process of […]
