• Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship

  "Tailwind is a symptom of what I feel to be a larger problem in development. There's been a rapid deterioration in pride-of-craftsmanship in development."

• How Can Designers Save The Planet?

  "Lastly, we need to talk about your tech. Or rather the new tech cycle. Chasing after the latest smartphone/computer etc each and every year isn't good for the planet. This is depleting the planets natural resources and uses immense amounts of energy to do so."
