How UIs Degrade Over Time
These examples are from Windows, but the same degradation is true for the standard look for MacOS alerts too. There was a time when system UI chrome was improving in clarity, everywhere. Today we live in an age when it’s degrading in clarity, everywhere. It’s rather inexplicable.…

Ambition has a standard story about failure. You take the hit, learn the lesson, and keep moving. It is clean, motivational, and not quite true. Some setbacks become information. Others become identity. The difference is not only the size of the loss. It is also the explanation a…
