Every time I think of something I have to do, I put it in my Todoist Inbox. Every night I go through my Inbox and decide what needs to get done tomorrow. I assign a 'tomorrow' date…

Hey, thanks for writing this. Your article talks a lot about the nuances of the app (prototyping animation, specifically) but I'm curious how you were able to distill the experienc…

Depends where you work. At a large-ish digital creative agency you're probably stuck in PS creating 100 comps. At the small-ish digital creative agency I'm at the visual designers …

As an interaction designer I really liked watching this. I don't work for a startup but this is often how quick internal reviews go with a project team member at my company, as wel…

I imagine users going directly to a site like barackobama.com or xcandidate.com would be more inclined to read, not skim. It might be as simple as "this guy is running for Presiden…

I don't know if I agree with this. I think it's important for different members of the (small) team to interview someone they potentially, and most likely, will be working with. I'…

These IF programs, like leangains, do not require you to fast during the day and only feed at night... it's up to you when you would like to do it; That's the beauty of it.

LPTHW, without a doubt. I've tried everything out there - codecademy, udacity, coursera, codeschool, khan, etc. Nothing has taught me as well as LPTHW -- probably from just repetit…

I don't understand how people are still designing for the web in an image manipulation application. There are so many other tools out there today to get you to a design much quicke…

I think "great design can't be tested" is wrong. All design has consequence. If I make an add to cart button on an ecommerce site purple, I can test that to see if it performs bett…

I don't like to separate visual from UX. UX is top level, while user research, visuals, information architecture, for example, are branches. You cannot design UX, only design for i…

But is a web designer a visual/graphic designer as well?

This. Exactly. I was really confused. I've been trying to learn JS on an off for about a year. When I was shown the new CS program at Khan Academy today, I was instantly confused b…

Tons and tons of sites use the 3-4 column approach to showcasing plans and pricing Here are just a few: http://patterntap.com/search/pricing In terms of styling, you're right, it's…

Also like every other site out there. It's the most generic way to showcase pricing and plans.

Seconded. Read "On Writing Well" -- write something, cut it in half, then cut that in half, and then once again cut that in half.

I've created 2 anonymous posts in the past couple days (ask hn), and neither have shown up on the first 5 pages (didn't check past that). Have I done something wrong by trying to r…

I can't even figure out what it is/does. "The Chromebox is a fast, compact home or office device." That means nothing to me.

Dropping carbs dramatically after living a life where you ate a normal/high amount of carbs is going to, most likely, make you miserable. If decreasing your carbs is of interest to…

Of course there are other ways, it's called not eating crap.

Interesting. However, if they serve sandwiches, perhaps they also have "grilled chicken cutlet sandwich". If they do, no harm in just asking for the chicken and whatever other topp…

Places that focus on bread, pasta and rice are usually chain-food places (Panera, Chipotle, etc). Find a deli that will give you a chicken breast + veggies -- there are at least 4 …
