Five Links #101
1. I tracked down the thief who stole $200k of Lego
This is an absolutely wild ride – stick with it. There’s a second part, too…
2. Pattern Breaking
A lovely one-pager breaking down some of the deceptive patterns used in e-commerce and their impact.
3. Code is cheap(er)
You’ve heard of the “10× engineer” who can produce a mythical amount of code? Well now we’re all 10× engineers who can debase a codebase that took years to build in mere moments.
4. Making an original Jubilee line door button into a Hue light switch
This is a cool-as-heck project.
The next step of the tutorial with the actual electronics was a bit, well, “draw the rest of the owl”.
Hard relate.
5. Fontastic Space
An interesting idea: pair fonts based on their mathematical compatibility.
