An important discussion piece by the talented @rachelandrew. There is a growing state of confusion in our industry. The core building blocks of the web are being supplanted by endless, convoluted toolchains. What’s the cost? bit.ly/end-points #webdesign #web #css #html

Fantastic piece by @zeldman. Has a "Cult of Complexity" been created by too many convoluted dev processes? I think so. Seems to stem from an unwillingness to ask "should I" instead of defaulting to "why not". alistapart.com/article/cult-… #development #webdev #code
And after listening to 10 straight episodes, there are some common themes amongst successful entrepreneurs: No one has any idea what they’re doing. Failures are positive and often fuel great ideas. You gotta be passionate about what you’re starting. Not about $, but the idea.

I met @ThomasPhinney when helping to bring @typecon to PDX in 2013. Now I've had the pleasure of interviewing him: webvisionsevent.com/2016/09/…

The official wine of web designers everywhere. I prefer an H1 myself, but this will do in a pinch.
