@BrianEnigma @mcc remember when text areas had clear scroll bars you could use to move around the text and they didn't hide themselves among the actual text and weren't so thin you have to pixel hunt them to actually move around your code?
@mcc Remember when windows had clear titlebars that you could grab ahold of and not have to gingerly find an inactive space between toolbar icons and other active interface elements when all you want to do is move the window around?
I have just learned that there's a photo sharing social media site dedicated to astrophotography.
What an unexpected and much-needed reminder that the social web can be good and pure and cool and beautiful.
a *good* product manager has taste: they understand the product inside and out, the product's users, the interactions, how things should be shaped.
therefore: surveys, err sorry, "discovery weeks" are evidence of *deficient* product management.
the corporate way of saying this is that surveys are a low-quality conviction building tool. this is because surveys are typically biased to favor the thesis of the product manager through the design of the survey questionnaire.
what I will say is that surveys are tools of product managers to hammer engineers and designers over the head with when they insist on building things that are actually good, but aren't aligned with whatever product management's vision is
also for god knows how long now we'd been thinking of slapping an IShellBrowser on the desktop to get desktop icons. but we'd figured it might not work because of the transparent background and lack of scrollbars
lol. lmao.
it's Win32
