Really enjoyed it, weirdly relatable and kept coming back for more. I'd seen the movie of the same name at the cinema back in 1999, and I remember Matt Damon as Ripley, but I didn't remember the details, except to say that the air of the character was thi

Lea's deep dive into dark mode toggles is well worth the read. I've got strong opinions about this, and Lea nails it with: Users do not seek out solutions to problems they don't currently have. I personally (for my own tools) tend to go further and just h
