Wow, these two last days flew by in the blink of an eye! Thank you to @vitalyf.bsky.social and all the #SmashingConf team for pulling this off again, and a BIG thank you to all the speakers for sharing your thoughts and feelings about our industry with such an open mind and so much #love 💜😻

"Show you are willing to be vulnerable helps you connect and build trust. […] Being a leader is a quality you acquire [whether you are in a leadership position or not]." 💜 @emmabostian.bsky.social at #smashingconf

"It can be scary to speak to someone with disabilities, but it can bring you so much. Learn from people who have disabilities in your life. Your users become the experts. Include them." Marie van Driessche at #smashingconf

Tobi is really smashing it 🤘 #smashingconf

I love talks like the one Lyra just gave. It was full of excitement, delight and surprise. Lyra enthusiasm is contagious. 💜 Just when you thought you knew everything there is to know about CSS 🤔 Love it.

"You cannot redesign/replicate in a year or two something that has been running for 30 years. You'll loose something on the way, and that will be very bad." Vitaly, the man that does it all 💜 @vitalyf.bsky.social at #smashingconf

Friendly reminder that people you admire who are great at something did not start out great at it. It took a lot of practice. A lot of trial and error. You’ve gotta start somewhere 🙏

odd ? time: time + (quarterBeat * swing) "It's the first time writing a line of JavaScript made me feel happy, because I could feel its effect." I felt it too 💜 @heydonworks.com at #smashingconf

@jakearchibald.com is taking us in a fascinating time travel in the history of the select element. It turns out select is the element the most re-created by developers, and the one that gives the most frustration (by far) - no surprise. #smashingconf

"Be curious, and experiment, but remain grounded and use it [AI] for high value tasks. Don't forget to touch grass." Love it. Sarah Thompson at #smashingconf

"Technology growth is sky rocketing, and human brain evolution is very slow, it hasn't been "updated" in the last 40'000 years. We can't escape our cave brains. Design for it." Sarah Thompson at #smashingconf

More relevant now than ever. Thanks Ricky 🙏

Al literacy != maximum Al use. Al literacy = calibration. Ioana Teleanu at #smashingconf

"Which part of the job is yours? […] AI is getting good at making, but that's not where the value is. […] Design is not output, or output was never design. We will design how AI decides." Ioana Teleanu at #smashingconf

#smashingconf's first morning was soaring. It feels so good to be back 😻☀️💜

Joe Natoli Breaking down the silos is hard. But getting people to care — even just a bit, for a short time — about each other and the business or the product feels so good. Thanks for sharing. Your talk is why I love #smashingconf

"You say no to protect the business, not the discipline, or a best practice, whatever that is. Friction is good. Late friction is expensive. Early friction is strategic. […] Don't try to create a team that doesn't disagree" So insightful. Thank you 🙏 Joe Natoli at #smashingconf

"Business isn't personal. Wrong. To be good at anything, you need to care about it, and that makes it personal." 💜 Joe Natoli at #smashingconf

"Argument doesn't equal opposition." "Everybody is protection something." "Stop taking sides. Figure out what each of you is trying to protect." Joe Natoli at #smashingconf

"If a product is defective on the receiving end, it's (almost) always a failure to communicate properly." "The friction you feel downstream, was usually created upstream." Joe Natoli at #smashingconf

In case you're wondering, we're having a blast at #smashingconf 🎉🎈

"i18n is not just translating strings, it's showing that we care." 💜 @evaferreira92.bsky.social at #smashingconf

"Lately, using the web as a non-native English speaker sucks. Al generated crap-tions, unrequired translations, weird grammar..." Eva Ferreira at #smashingconf

"The question isn't whether AI will be part of your design system workflow. It's whether your design system will be ready when it gets there." TJ Pitre at #smashingconf

"You need the dark in order to show the light" - You can't fix drift you can't see. Validation is how the system shows you. by TJ Pitre at #smashingconf
