Brian Behrend’s microblog
Interesting background on the history of Pixar, good thoughts on fostering a creative culture, and really liked the focus on giving and receiving difficult feedback, but disappointed in the fact that every anecdote seemed to end with “and then the team worked 100 hour weeks for months and never saw their family but we got it done.” Or “then they worked two straight weeks instead of taking their Christmas vacation.”

Turned out to be pretty entry level book. Maeda spends the majority of the book’s 200 pages explaining the basics and extolling the value of UX research, product design, agile delivery, and iterative development and comparatively little on the actual premise of the book.

Four years later, old Slack logo is still way better than new/current Slack logo.
I am physically incapable of spelling palette (as in color) correctly. Pallete? Pallette? Why are there so many Ls and Ts and Es??
