Din Bisevac recommended Shipping is Hard. from medium.com:

Tonight we shipped Evomail for App Store approval. I’m still nervous about some of the buttons I didn’t shift 3px. I’m still uneasy about some of the icons we didn’t switch out for others. But… tonight we shipped Evomail. It was handed to the post office rep (Apple), they gave us our receipt, and wished us a good night. We fulfilled our promise.

Din Bisevac recommended “User Experience” from daneden.me:

A great designer should have a solid understanding of the psychological effects of their designs on top of all the typographic, colour, and layout techniques they use on a daily basis. Each decision in those categories will have an effect on the overall user experience, and we should be conscious of those effects. User experience is not something that should be considered separately from any design processes, let alone given a separate job description or department.

Din Bisevac recommended If you ever feel alone in this… from bubs.co:

I haven't thought about killing myself in 20 years, but I've been there. So if you're ever so depressed and stressed out, and you think you're alone. You're not. I've been there. It can get better and i'll bear that burden with you. Send me an email with the subject, “I feel alone in this” and you'll be the next email I write or the call I make.

Din Bisevac recommended 445 Days from ticci.org:

This is not a post about the lessons I’ve learned. I am still learning. There’s an old saying in Italy that goes like this: “life is a continuous exam”. I believe that’s true. How can I write about life when I’m still learning how to deal with it?

Din Bisevac recommended Design at Vine: Everyone needs an editor from vine.co:

Old things are beautiful, but new things should look, well... new.

Din Bisevac recommended What I Do for a Living from ticci.org:

She’s looking at me, waiting. My mom is looking at me, silent, because she knows this is the question I want and need to answer. I’ve made mistakes in my life, but I can’t escape from what I love doing — what in part led me to being in this room. “Doctor, I write about technology.”

Din Bisevac recommended Why We (Still) Believe in Working Remotely from blog.stackoverflow.com:

The product side is where our remote working happens: we have 16 full-time remote and 18 in-office developers, sysadmins, designers, and community managers. So we are very much a hybrid team, which I’ve come to believe is the best of both worlds.

Din Bisevac recommended A Startup Education from brianbailey.me:

At most startups, you will have unlimited opportunities to push your skills as far as you can. With ambitious plans and small teams, you can often set the direction of the design, development, support, or marketing of the product. You will have the opportunity to decide which problems to solve and how to solve them.

Din Bisevac recommended Jeffrey Zeldman from thegreatdiscontent.com:

I had done art, writing, and music and had never had the knowledge or networking skills to get my stuff out there, but with the web, I became a producer and publisher.

Din Bisevac recommended 140 Character Hitchhike from medium.com:

Then I got an @ reply from someone I didn’t know or had ever spoken with. It said: Roommate and I are headed to Richmond from Charlotte. We are at Exit 93 and can pick you guys up if you want.

Din Bisevac recommended Amber Waves of Green from gq.com:

I'd worked out that there are six degrees of economic separation between a guy making ten bucks an hour and a Forbes billionaire, if you multiply each person's income by five. So I decided to journey across America to meet one representative of each multiple.

Din Bisevac recommended It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's...Some Dude?! from gq.com:

They are ordinary men in extraordinary costumes, and they have risen from the ashes of our troubled republic to ensure the safety of their fellow citizens. Jon Ronson goes on patrol with Urban Avenger, Mr. Xtreme, Pitch Black, Knight Owl, Ghost, and the baddest-ass "real-life superhero" of them all, Phoenix Jones

Din Bisevac recommended How to build an iPad competitor from kottke.org:

For a piece of portable networking technology like a smartphone or tablet to be successful on the scale at which Apple operates, you need to have an ecosystem, a network of interacting devices, software, products, and services that work together...hardware + software is not enough.

Din Bisevac recommended Brad McCarty’s blog from bradmccarty.me:

When I got married, we lost touch somewhat for a few years. But every time that we'd see each other, you'd light up and give me the biggest hug. It warmed my heart, and still does right now as I think about it.

Din Bisevac recommended Oh, the Places You’ll Go! from daltoncaldwell.com:

Similarly, in software, you can't be thinking about which programming language you are using, and whether you are using MongoDB or MySQL, or whether photogrid layouts are the hot new thing or not. You will never hit the proverbial fastball if that is the sort of junk filling your head. Rather, creating and shipping products needs to be muscle memory. You just need to have clear eyes, a full heart, and be ready to show up and play.
