    A parady O'Reilly book cover with a pencil illustration of a horse as the main detail. The title is "Moving Fast and Breaking Things, Fragile Development Guide" At the top, text reads "Just put the technical debt on my credit card"

  • From the archives: With design tools further commoditising and sanitising expected creative output, the time for designers to be able to stand out is very much here. I think for some, learning to code is a good route for that.

  • Nothing fancy is needed here and certainly nothing “smart”, but my one actual use for an Apple Watch — as a chill alarm clock — is silly really. I’m so fed up of my Apple Watch, so has anyone got a recommendation for an alarm clock that: Thanks! https://bell.bz/i-want-an-alarm-clock/.
