  • Sometimes when you get UI experts and users and engineers in the same room they iterate to similar outcomes because its the logical conclusion. Apples design in this case isn’t ground breaking or even original.

    If multiple species of jumping spider can independently evolve the ability to see red from different branches of their family tree, multiple dev teams can come to the same conclusion about what is more comfortable for reaching with consideration for left and right handed people on various types of screens.

    The problem is so scoped these days, its fairly logical for UIs to come to the same outcome.












  • I feel much more comfortable in dark rooms, with dark mode screens and quiet.

    I am ADHD and ASD though, and it’s ASD that leads to sensory overload conditions that make the dark, quite rooms help me a ton.

    My pediatrician has told me that boys with ASD have a 90% chance of having ADHD, and its fairly common for girls as well, though not near 90%.

    I suppose, since ASD diagnosis is difficult in more subtle cases and it costs a fair amount of time and money that there are a ton of folks diagnosed with ADHD that are also ASD and don’t realize it.

    I identify with this because of my ADHD.

    But also, because ADHD, I spent about 15 minutes in a “does not compute” loop because bats can see perfectly well in the dark, so using them as an analogy involving something being lost and helping them by turning the lights on is just not making sense to me.

    I’ve broken out of the loop, but I still am not sure why “bats”







  • I think it depends on personal preference and what kind of user you are.

    If you are going to engage in trolling and just being the kind of person someone wouldn’t want to hire its probably best to hide your identify.

    Likewise of you just want to keep it a secret.

    My identity has been out there on the internet for a long time. Ran a web community, work in IT. I might delve into grayer topics on social media than on LinkedIn, but I try to check myself and ensure I’m considering others and my behavior before allowing myself to just pump raw emotion into comments.

    Not going to claim to be 100% successful at either of those but hey I try.

    I limit what information is shared about me as much as I can afford to given the nature of the industry I work in.
