#2It's really great to read this article: the contrast of text against the background is optimally low, it lets our eyes take its sweet time to recognize letter forms. Sit back, relax and poke your eyes out in pain. What more do readers want! Illegible, dysfunctional and decorative design is the future!

#3I’m sad this is an April fools joke because a lot of the sentiment rings true and I love the slogan “move slow and make things.”
Artisans make beautiful things and software artisans make beautiful software, but it’s hard to do it and still be a viable business.
And artisans moving slowly isn’t arbitrary. They move slow on the things that matter. The things that shine when attention was paid to the details.

Better is “Be deliberate and make (beautiful) things”.

Same here. I was disappointed to realize this isn't a thing.

You joke, but there's some truth to this. Better to have a nice tailored report that shows only what's needed to make a decision, than a dump from Looker, Heap, or just a 200MB of CSVs.

Maybe we will have a chance to move slow and make things one day, or in little moments, optimizing for the well-being of the creator etc. What rings true about it we can mull over in our heads at some point and try to implement in some parts of our lives, like hobbies, vacation, retirement, family time, etc. right?
