The amount of modal popups this website displays made me abandon the site. Such an annoying UX.

The new icons are bad. There are small distinguishing details that are hard to notice at small sizes. The icons need to be more simple, concrete, and recognizable.

Not surprised that many are having a bad user experience with Jira. The interface design and usability is atrocious because it's a tool designed by developers. Developers lack the UX training and thinking that's needed to make the tool intuitive and easy to use.

Recently learned that pigs are smarter than dogs and even 3-year olds. They're also very social, which makes them humanlike. For this reason I don't ever eat pork. It would be like eating dog or human meat.

As someone who is written over 300 articles on my blog I can relate to the feeling of wondering if my words even matter or make difference. Feeling like they don't matter is the easiest way to quit.

Some articles have made a splash, but only for the momentary period it was first published. I always wonder if the next generation of people will ever see it, or will it just get lost in the void.

I've come to terms that it doesn't matter if it helps people or not. What keeps me writing is all the interesting thoughts and ideas I want to share. It's a way to express what's inside of me to the few people that want to listen.

If you can make writing so engaging to you to where you want to play it like a video game, you've cracked the code to being a writer.

In UI design, the user's attention is limited and valuable. I'm always doing things to minimize distractions and emphasize key information. The common problem is that there's so much information/data/content to offer that most people want to show everything.

However, revealing everything spreads the user's attention in every little area. There is no concentrated focus on any one thing. As a result, the user doesn't really absorb what they're reading deeply. They don't absorb information in a detailed way because there's something else they have to click around the corner.

To improve human attention designers have to say no to displaying certain things and focus on the few that's essential. This is easier said than done, but needs to be done.

This goes to show why Activity Monitor is such a great tool for troubleshooting and killing suspicious processes that hog resources.

China is always overstepping their bounds and needs to be checked by the superpowers of the world. Without checks and balances, they will continue to bully the neighboring countries by force and deception.
