1/6. Delight and beauty matter. Treating projects (and life) in terms of raw functionality is denying yourself and others what makes us human.

2/6. What if this project was about getting an intern up to speed, or team bonding? Not everything has the obvious goals. Allow “impact” to have different shapes than you can imagine.

3/6. Do you spend your every waking minute “helping folks in need”? You’re not doing it right now, since you’re reading my answer. So congrats, by your own definition you just became a bad person.

Life is balance. It’s okay to have fun once in a while, particularly because this will recharge your batteries and make it easier to give back.

4/6. If you have problems with corporations, or Facebook specifically, talk about that instead. It’s a worthwhile conversation. Don’t make a huge, ill-defined bus to throw everyone under, just to make yourself feel better for a second.

5/6. I guarantee you there will be people looking at
@shanselman’s tweet and reflecting on the value of design details, and fighting for them later in their own project. You could’ve included just the image, but you decided to shit on his observation, too.1 reply 0 retweets 18 likesShow this thread -
6/6. When I travelled last year, I saw the icon rotate and it genuinely made me think about how I see the world, and what I take for granted. Please be more empathetic and allow other people to connect with design in the ways you don’t.

This particular feature came up in a freewheeling lunch conversation yesterday in a larger context of being anchored to a new place, while still connected back home, when we travel.

Larger context of people who work in global corporations where there are rhythms that drive your work lifestyle (colleagues get up, come online at certain times, etc.) -you experience different specifics depending on where you are based

And other things that support that like being online in real-time with Twitter people in that country versus seeing it all the next day. And that globe being a powerful symbol of "whoah something is different for me on this trip" - love it.

Interesting, yeah, it can be seen as a digital equivalent of that “many things are subtly different” effect when traveling.
