About hkuo

Design. UX. Code. Sunnyvale, CA

My skillset lies at the intersection of user experience, visual design, and code for any form of digital media. I began my career writing code, transitioned into design, and adopted user experience soon after. Throughout, I’ve continued to learn and play all three roles in parallel in a symbiotic relationship of creativity, functionality, and execution.

    You seem pretty intent on drawing a negative picture of people who can do both design and code, labeling them the worst designers you've ever worked with or a jack of all trades wh…

    You may want to check out a program called Divvy. You can set key commands to set the position and size of any window. There's other programs similar to it, but this is my favorite…

    I'm probably not the best person to have a debate about this since I don't have a traditional CS background. I dabble in many different languages, but I'll never claim to be an exp…

    It seems from the abstract that they're not looking for causation between those two but what other factors are involved that can explain the correlation.

    I don't see anything particularly terrible about how the js was built. It's not the style I would have done it, but I wouldn't blame the programmer. He/she was most likely just fol…
