The main reason to do a Twitter thread (which the author alludes to but doesn’t look at enough) is audience. Good thoughts can go viral quickly on social media. The same cannot be said for blog posts (even when shared). This could be speaking to a larger issue but still the case.
As an example, I published this blog post [1] in November of 2019. It was probably read by hundreds to low thousands in about a year.
I then made a twitter thread out of the same content a year or so later [2], it was seen by over half a million people.
This is not to say audience is the only consideration but a combination of a blog post turned thread might be the best way to get audience and an archive.

Having worked remotely for the past few years, my experience has been that working remotely depends on the team itself as much as it depends on the individual's ability to work from home/remote.
The #1 factor that made the difference for me is how many others in the same team are remote. For Clarity (a team I lead), we decided early on to have a completely remote team. Few members of the team do work in HQ but most of them are remote. We wrote something about it here: https://medium.com/claritydesignsystem/working-remote-how-we...
Not to repeat the same post again but having the whole team remote with the option to gather every few months made a huge difference for us.
I've also worked remotely previously with a team that was mostly centered in one location, that wasn't a pleasant experience. Most of the decisions were still discussed outside of scheduled meetings and I constantly felt like an inconvenience to the team especially when having to setup communication and video conferencing tools at the beginning of each meeting just for me.

Fixed. You can click on the top-right menu to get the sub-menu and from there navigate to the icon set.

I shared a bit of our thoughts getting here and getting to custom elements as well as how we support in a medium post we wrote earlier, not sure if you noticed it. Here is a link again: https://medium.com/claritydesignsystem/the-road-to-svg-and-c...

Yep, that's a bug we're currently working on, should be fixed today. Thanks for the heads up

I believe it's a coincidence especially with how common names are when they are a word. Clarity is based on the name of the design system itself
