       iOS 26 isn’t cute or heartwarming. Interfaces only behave that way when they’re distressed.

       @aral look, this glass button stuff was stuff I got out of my system with GDI+ and .NET in 2004 or so. I made a DLL that would render them at the size you asked at a time when CSS wouldn't do much work for you and I made a site I thought worked well at the time and then proper design systems came along and taught me that I hadn't done that at all.It's like they fired the designers and put a 32yo me in charge. *I* wouldn't use what 32yo me used to come out with.

       @aral They make things they think are cute, instead of making something that works! 💩

       @aral it’s the infamous “Crush!” ad as a design manifesto
