It's the season 4 finale and we're celebrating at 150 bpm, when Vitaly Friedman joins us to talk about his lifelong journey through techno music. It all began in Belarus when, as a child, he discovered The Prodigy on cassette, continuing into his teens, that were spent obsessively exploring every possible musical avenue. Vitaly explains his preference for minimal, melodic, and "honest" techno over mainstream EDM, emphasizing his deep appreciation for the craft, passion, and commitment artists put into their work. He discusses how music serves different functions in his life, whether providing flow and calmness while working, or creating vivid, cinematic experiences at live concerts, and reveals his practice of continuously discovering new artists to avoid getting stuck.Guest BioVitaly Friedman (he/him) loves beautiful content and does not give up easily. Born in Minsk, Belarus, he studied computer science and mathematics in Germany. While writing algebra proofs and preparing for software engineering at nights in the kitchen, at the same time he discovered passion for typography, interface design and writing. After working as a freelance designer and developer for 6 years, he co-founded Smashing Magazine back in 2006, a leading online magazine for designers and developers. His curiosity drove him from interface design to front-end to performance optimization to accessibility and back to user experience over all the years. Vitaly is the author, co-author and editor of Smashing Books (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/books), and a curator of Smashing Conferences (https://www.smashingconf.com). He is the UX lead with the European Parliament and Smashing Magazine and front-end/UX consultant in Europe and abroad, working with large and small companies and organizations like Haufe-Lexware, Axel-Springer and others. He also runs Measure UX (https://measure-ux.com) and Smart Interface Design Patterns (https://smart-interface-design-patterns.com), friendly video courses on UX and design patterns, along with a live UX training for passionate UX and product designers.

Every year around this time, I start seeing the prediction pieces roll in. "The year of X!" they declare. "Y will change everything!" And every year, I find myself wincing a little, because most of these predictions age about as well as milk left on a radiator.So rather than trying to predict the future (I learned my lesson after confidently declaring QR codes were dead in 2019), I want to talk about what I'm seeing among the UX professionals I work with, and what I think it means for 2026.The uncomfortable realityLet me start with the bit nobody wants to hear. UX is on the corporate chopping block again. If you've been in this industry long enough, you'll recognize the pattern. We saw it after the dot-com bust. We saw hints of it during various economic downturns. And we're seeing it now.Some folks think rebranding will save us. We tried that before, remember? We went from "usability" to "UX" and it bought us some time. But slapping a new label on the tin doesn't change what's inside.The interesting thing is that the World Economic Forum still lists UX as a growth area. So what's going on? I think we're seeing a split forming between two very different types of UX work: the shallow, template-driven kind that AI can increasingly handle, and the messy, human-centered kind that requires judgment, taste, and the ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics.The shallow end is drainingTemplates and processes won't cut it anymore. If your approach to UX is downloading frameworks and following checklists without much critical thinking, 2026 is going to feel uncomfortable. Because AI can do that now. And it does it faster.The UX professionals who thrive will be the ones with uniquely human skills. Critical thinking. Taste (yes, that subjective, hard-to-define thing your design school professor tried to explain). The ability to navigate messy organizational dynamics without making enemies. These soft skills are becoming more valuable than knowing your way around Figma.I've watched people who can facilitate a difficult stakeholder workshop bring more value to a project than someone with impeccable wireframing skills. Because the wireframes don't matter if nobody in the organization trusts them.AI is growing up (finally)The frantic "add AI for AI's sake" phase is mercifully winding down. I've lost count of how many product features I saw last year that felt like someone had desperately searched for a place to stick a chatbot, found nowhere sensible, and stuck it there anyway.Now we're moving into what I'd call the implementation phase. Organizations are finally asking "What problem does this actually solve?" rather than "How can we say we have AI?" This is genuinely good news for UX people. Because that question, that focus on real user needs, is exactly where we add value.This is our chance to demonstrate what we bring to the table. Not by fighting AI, but by being the people who understand how to apply it thoughtfully.What you might consider doing about all thisI've been thinking about what separates the UX people who feel energized right now from the ones who feel anxious. A few patterns keep emerging.Get comfortable with messUX work has always been messy, but I think some of us (myself included, at times) got a bit too attached to neat processes. Context matters more than frameworks. A template is a starting point, not a destination. If you find yourself downloading more frameworks than talking to actual users, it might be worth recalibrating.I've come to think of UX methods as a toolkit rather than a linear process. Instead of pushing every project through the same sequence of steps, you assess what the situation actually needs and reach for the right tool. Sometimes that's a full discovery phase. Sometimes it's a quick guerrilla test. The skill is knowing which to use when, not memorizing a fixed sequence.The people who seem to thrive actually enjoy that messiness. They see ambiguity as interesting rather than threatening.Wear more hatsThe boundaries between UX and other disciplines are blurring fast. I've been encouraging people to pick up knowledge in adjacent areas: systems thinking, data modeling, business strategy, even marketing. Not to become experts in everything (impossible), but to speak enough of the language to collaborate effectively.AI actually makes this more achievable than ever. You don't need to be an experienced developer to build a quick demo anymore. If you have a basic understanding of how development works, AI can help you create functional prototypes that would have required a developer's time before. The same applies to data analysis, content strategy, even basic marketing automation. A little knowledge, combined with the right AI tools, goes a surprisingly long way.Take control of your AI storyI wrote about this recently on Smashing Magazine, but it bears repeating. Take control of how AI shapes your job. Don't wait for someone else to do it for you, because they will, and you probably won't like their version.Challenge the way you approach every task by asking how AI might change it. I'm particularly excited about how AI can reshape the way we communicate user research. There are fascinating possibilities around virtual personas that give users a voice in meetings they'll never attend. And the opportunities for rapid iteration are genuinely exciting. Faster development means more freedom to take creative risks.I'm running a workshop soon on AI and interface design if you want to dig deeper into the practical applications.The new frontierOne thing that genuinely excites me: conversational experiences are becoming a legitimate UX specialism. Not chatbots-as-FAQ (please, no more of those), but thoughtful conversational interfaces that genuinely improve how people interact with systems. It's a new field, which means the rules aren't written yet. That's either terrifying or thrilling, depending on your disposition.Why I'm optimistic (despite everything)I realize I've painted a somewhat challenging picture. But I'm genuinely optimistic about 2026. Change has always been where the interesting work happens. The UX people who adapt, who stay curious, who focus on outcomes over outputs, are going to have fascinating careers.The fact that AI is opening up new possibilities for experimentation and iteration makes this a genuinely exciting time. We can work collaboratively with AI to evolve design concepts in ways that would have taken weeks just a few years ago.Is it comfortable? Not always. But comfortable and interesting rarely overlap.

What can slicing a watermelon teach us about design? Turns out… quite a lot. This week, I chat with Vitaly Friedman, founder of Smashing Magazine, to explore curiosity, inefficiency, and why the best designers obsess over process, not perfection.What if your next design breakthrough came not from a book or a course, but from learning to slice a watermelon?Vitaly Friedman has spent decades shaping how designers think about the web. But in this conversation, we go beyond pixels and patterns to talk about something much more profound: how curiosity itself becomes a design tool. From choosing the perfect watermelon to mastering the art of ironing, Vitaly reveals how everyday obsessions can teach us how to think, learn, and design better.We explore how designers can reclaim joy and curiosity in their work, especially in environments where efficiency and productivity often come at the expense of creativity. Vitaly's take? It's not about finding the perfect way to do something—it's about exploring many ways and discovering meaning in the process.From grilled watermelons to enterprise UX, we connect the dots between experimentation, self-learning, and the messy human side of design.If you've ever felt stuck chasing “best practices” or trying to find the “right” answer, this episode will remind you that sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is play.Topics:• 03:39 – The Watermelon Metaphor• 05:37 – Choosing the Perfect Watermelon• 09:19 – Cutting Techniques and Presentation• 13:34 – Grilling Watermelon and Culinary Creativity• 14:28 – Learning and Self-Education• 15:13 – The Journey of Exploration• 18:28 – Imposter Syndrome and Asking for Help• 22:00 – Humanizing Executives and Stakeholders• 22:48 – The Importance of Curiosity• 25:34 – Ironing and Finding Zen• 30:01 – The Role of Enjoyment in Learning• 31:35 – Procrastination and Productivity• 33:46 – Procrastination and Focus• 34:48 – Memorable Conference Experience• 37:08 – Finding Joy in Enterprise UX Design• 38:50 – Challenges in Enterprise Projects• 41:35 – Building Trust and Team Culture• 50:50 – Balancing Exploration and DeliveryHelpful Links:• Connect with Vitaly on LinkedIn• Smashing Magazine• Design Patterns For AI Interfaces—Thanks for listening!

Al hilo del episodio anterior sobre Astro + WordPress headless con GraphQL tengo la suerte de conversar con el desarrollador argentino Leonardo Losoviz, creador del plugin Gato GraphQL. Aunque el panorama del headless en el entorno de WordPress esté dominado por la empresa WPEngine, especialmente con el plugin WPGraphQL, la solución de código abierto de Leonardo abre un sinfín de posibilidades para gestionar tu WordPress mucho más allá de un headless. En este episodio hablamos con Leonardo Losoviz sobre GraphQL y las múltiples aplicaciones que puedes conseguir a través de su plugin Gato GraphQL y también sobre su versión PRO del plugin. Leonardo es un activo divulgador dentro de la comunidad WordPress, con artículos muy interesantes sobre todo lo relacionado con extender las posiblidades de WordPress a través de GraphQL y Gutenberg. Recientemente publicó un completo artículo en Smashing Magazine titulado "How To Work With GraphQL In WordPress In 2024" donde explica el estado actual de la tecnología y algunas novedades relacionadas con el futuro de WordPress. En esta charla con Leonardo conversamos sobre: Su perfil de desarrollador del plugin Gato GraphQL y los retos de gestionar un proyecto open source con parte comercial. Estado actual del headless en WordPress y competencia entre la numerosa oferta de Headless CMS. Características y funcionalidades destacadas del plugin Gato GraphQL. Diferencias entre Gato GraphQL y WPGraphQL. Gutenberg y bloques en Gato GraphQL. Futuras actualizaciones de Gato GraphQL para traducir contenido con Polylang. WordPress como herramienta actual para desarrollo web. Absolutamente recomendable seguir de cerca todos los progesos de Leonardo con su plugin Gato GraphQL. También seguir sus publicaciones tanto en la propia web del plugin, como en otros medios donde publica su contenido. Recientemente realizó una serie de webinars en WP Builds donde profundiza en todas las funcionalidades de su plugin y en las posibilidades que ofrece GraphQL para dominar tu WordPress. Actualización: En los enlaces de interés se incluyen los tutoriales para trabajar con Gato GraphQL y Polylang que comentó Leonardo durante la grabación del episodio.

Web design has rarely taken the environment into account. Over the last decade, web pages have become ten times bigger, and up to 80% of the weight of a particular webpage can be waste—content and code that is not required for the page to function. Do web designers and developers simply not care? Vitaly Friedman believes that they do care but that they need better education about accessibility, usability and sustainability. Vitaly Friedman is one of the nicest and most brilliant people I know. Born in Minsk, Belarus, he studied computer science and mathematics in Germany, and co-founded Smashing Magazine back in 2006, a leading online magazine for designers and developers. His curiosity drove him from interface design to front-end to performance optimization to accessibility and back to user experience over all the years.

Hey everyone! I was published in Smashing Magazine this week with an article titled "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome By Developing Your Own Guiding Principles", and thought that because it's a long article you may like to hear an audio version of it. Let me know what you think

We're back! Benedicte waits to hear back on a Gatsby proposal. Benedikt returns from vacation.Norway's Constitution DayBenedicte sent out a proposal for more project-based Gatsby work and is anxious to hear back. She made progress on her article for Smashing Magazine as well and is looking forward to feedback on the draft. She is finding it difficult to narrow down exactly what level of expertise the audience will have and knows that meeting her audience at their technical level will be critical when writing her book. Reluctantly, Benedicte places POW! on the back burner, at least for a few months. Leaning into the Gatsby work feels more important. Norway just celebrated Constitution Day, so Oslo was a party! Endless ice cream included.Benedikt took a vacation last week. While the computer came with him, he didn't do anything more than a few notification checks — no fires to put out! Userlist finally, officially launched the new signup flow and they haven't seen any errors in the rollout. They are also getting closer to launching the new pricing plan as well, something that will likely be wrapped up by the end of the quarter. Benedikt might have some bandwidth to work on the Stripe integration, but it's unclear how much work remains there. Finally, Userlist grows again as the new community advocate just came aboard!

So, yeah - that's not great. And then there's a war going on 2 countries down the road, which adds at least some economic uncertainties and concerns about sanctions, people willing to travel and spend money on events etc. Then there is all of the general annoyances around international travel - the organizers are being very careful and "wanting to do everything to avoid international travel for anyone when running an event" side of things when it comes to Covid.So, a lot of energy would have to be spent on making the event safe enough from our own point of view… so best to wait until hopefully Summer 2023More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week 5/17/22 - Blog - Into the Box - Announcing Speakers for Into the Box 2022 - Round 1We are excited to announce the first set of speakers and sessions.

Whenever I have an issue with some CFML that needs to be demonstrated to someone else; eg: I'm asking for help on Slack or Stack Overflow, or demonstrating an answer to someone else's question: I create a portable / repeatable repro case on trycf.com. I use it to demonstrate bugs and behavioural differences to Adobe or Lucee when both vendors don't give the same result from the same code. I use it every day.I believe trycf.com is the handiest resource available to CFML developers.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/if-yer-cfml-dev-you-should-consider.html 5/16/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels Announces a Bug BountyWe are happy to launch a new program that we hope will lead to a more stable framework for all of us.

I recently needed to alert a Slack channel whenever an application was deployed, and found that using Eric Peterson's module Hyper along with Slack's Incoming Webhooks did the trick nicely.I'll share how to do this with a FW/1 application - just know that with ColdBox it would be even easier, and the general approach could even be modified to work without a framework.https://blog.mattclemente.com/2022/05/12/cfml-slack-incoming-webhook-hyper/ 5/12/22 - Blog - Gavin Pickin - Ortus Solutions - Tips, Tricks and Tools to write DRYer more Reusable Code in ColdFusionIn the last blog post, we learned many reasons why we wanted DRYer more reusable code in ColdFusion.

Another exercise in TDDI have to admit I'm not sure where I'm going with this one yet. I dunno how to implement what I'm needing to do, but I'm gonna start with a test and see where I go from there.Context: I've been messing around with this TinyTestFramework thing for a bit… it's intended to be a test framework one can run in trycf.com, so I need to squeeze it all into one include file, and at the same time make it not seem too rubbish in the coding dept. The current state of affairs is here: tinyTestFramework.cfm, and its tests: testTinyTestFramework.cfm. Runnable here: on trycf.comhttps://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-adding-beforeeach-handlers-to-my.html 5/12/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: for the sake of completeness, here's the afterEach treatmentThis immediately follows on from "CFML: Adding beforeEach handlers to my TinyTestFramework. Another exercise in TDD".Having done the beforeEach implementation for my TinyTestFramework, I reckoned afterEach would be super easy: barely an inconvenience. And indeed it was. Took me about 15min, given most of the logic is the same as for beforeEach.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-for-sake-of-completeness-heres.html 5/13/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: adding aroundEach to TinyTestFramework was way easier than I expectedI'm still pottering around with my TinyTestFramework. Last night I added beforeEach and afterEach handlers, but then thought about how the hell I could easily implement aroundEach support, and I could only see about 50% of it, so I decided to sleep on it.After a night's sleep I spent about 30min before work doing a quick spike (read: no tests, just "will this even work?"), and surprisingly it did work. First time. Well except for a coupla typos, but I nailed the logic first time. I'm sorta halfway chuffed by this, sorta halfway worried that even though what I decided would probably work - and it did - I haven't quite got my head around how it works, or even quite what it's doing. So let's blog about that.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-adding-aroundeach-to.html 5/15/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: fixing a coupla bugs in my recent work on TinyTestFrameworkLast week I did some more work on my TinyTestFramework:CFML: for the sake of completeness, here's the afterEach treatmentCFML: adding aroundEach to TinyTestFramework was way easier than I expectedOn Saturday, I found a bug in each of those.

Benedikt closes in on a major feature implementation. Benedicte gets some feedback on 1:1 calls and POW! Rails Autoscale DataCater Using DataCater to connect your app to Userlist Smashing Magazine Person of the Week POW! Reddit thread Gatsby Webinar on Plugins (2019) Unified.js Benedikt and the Userlist team are getting pretty close to finishing the new signup flow. Or they were... Benedicte points out a potential edge case. Either way, they've made progress and benefitted from treating the effort as a major feature instead of trying to cut corners. Benedikt celebrated a relaxing Easter recently as well — largely offline thanks to the maturing team and product. He cleared his inbox and recorded a video for Userlist with a friend who runs DataCater. If you have any suggestions for Heroku alternatives, send Benedikt a DM. He's finding it harder to stay a big fan amidst recent outages.Benedicte is feeling appreciated, and for a good reason! She was named Smashing Magazine's "Person of the Week" and has received lots of love. No coding on POW! to report back this week, but plans are coming together and she received some feedback around product preferences on a Reddit thread. In addition to POW! feedback, she also got some on her Gatsby calls. The "emergency" branding might not resonate with everyone, but she finds the calls rewarding. Benedicte plans to do more selling and outreach for Queen Raae services. Surprise! Things don't sell themselves. As a reward for completing other work, she has been working with markdown, trees, and other fun tools.

The third Monday of January may be a downer, but not for Benedikt and Benedicte! Blue Monday The Great Gatsby with Queen Raae - REACT 168 Benedikt: Tree data structure thread Smashing Magazine Benedikt is bathing in artificial light, exercising, and staying focused thanks to the new frontend developer, Leo, at Userlist. These factors, combined with a good year and small raise, have him beating the usual winter blues. Last week they helped a customer through a spam attack and he completed more integration work. Benedikt has enjoyed talking through the code with another developer. Benedicte, feeling confused about progress last week, is nonetheless keeping the engine alive. Schools are closing and childcare has been tricky but she had glimpses of "supermom". She completed her first non-hourly contract, started a draft for her Smashing Magazine article, kept up with yoga, and will even sneak in a short treehouse cabin trip this week. Like Benedikt, she has also enjoyed discussing code at a higher level with Ola as he comes up to speed.

Dedicamos este episodio a comentar el artículo de Matt Biilmann publicado recientemente en Smashing Magazine titulado The evolution of Jamstack. Mathias Biilmann es CEO de Netlify y uno de los precursores del termino Jamstack. En este artículo Biilmann empieza rememorando su presentación en el 2016 durante la SmashingConf, donde daba a conocer los principios que sustentan la arquitectura Jamstack. Ahora en 2021 Matt quiere ofrecer una perspectiva sobre cómo están evolucionando las técnicas y las soluciones orientadas a esta arquitectura de Jamstack. Empezamos el episodio hablando recordando los principios del Jamstack, como son la prioridad a que el front se construya lo antes posible y que exista un sólido desacople entre el front y el back. El segundo principio del Jamstack hace referencia a la obtención de datos bajo demanda (JavaScript y APIs). En la segunda parte hablamos de los tres puntos que según Matt marcan la evolución del Jamstack: Renderizado Persistente Distribuido o DPR.Actualizaciones en streaming desde la capa de datos.Colaboración entre desarrolladores se hace popular.

I spoke with Ido Shamun. Ido is the co-founder, CTO and, for now, the solo developer of daily.dev. daily.dev is an aggregator about development news, built as a Google Chrome extension, which gets feeds from all major tech news outlets including Smashing Magazine, The New Stack, CSS-Tricks and many more. daily.dev started as an internal initiative within Ido's previous company, The Elegant Monkeys, and eventually they decided to open it for anyone to use. Him and the team of 3 people, started daily.dev just about 6 months ago, in August 2020 and they already have around 80 thousand weekly active users. Unbelievable to see how much can be done these days with such a small team! One aspect that surprised me was the fact they decided to make it open source, so if you want to look under the hood of daily.dev, you can! As a coder, daily.dev can help you to get up to speed with what's going on in the coding space. Have a listen to the stories of Ido Shamun, Israeli solo coder at daily.dev!

Brian Casel is an entrepreneur focused on bootstrapping online businesses that combine software with productized services. Since starting his self-employed career as a professional freelance web designer back in 2008, he has built and later sold web design/SaaS business in 2015. He now runs Audience Ops, a content marketing service focused on helping B2B software companies grow their audience and customer-base.  He writes and teaches about entrepreneurship and freelancing through his blog and newsletter at casjam.com. He also creates and sells courses and ebooks there, most notably his course, Productize, which teaches consultants how to build, launch, and grow a productized service business.   His work and articles have been featured or published in Mashable, Smashing Magazine, Mixergy, Entrepreneur Magazine, and others. He has spoken at industry conferences such as MicroConf and Double Your Freelancing Conf. He also co-hosts the Bootstrapped Web podcast with Jordan Gal, where they talk behind-the-scenes of bootstrapping their online businesses.  Being in full-time business  Brian left his last full-time job at a wed design agency in January 2008 which translates to about 9 years in business. He started doing freelance web design while also working on different product ideas that didn't take off. Started RestaurantEngine in 2011 while still doing other freelance work. Launched RestaurantEngine in 2012 and in 2013 starting working on it full-time till 2015 when he sold it.     First product  The first product business that Brian worked on was creating Wordpress themes that he would sell as digital downloads. This made him some income every month but he sold the business to someone else in 2015.  Inspiration behind leaving formal employment to freelancing then to business  While still working at the web design agency, Brian noticed that the company used to hire freelancers occasionally. He realised that the freelancers were making a living from that, which prompted him to learn freelancing through free online resources. In 2008, he decided to start doing freelance work which actually helped him through the economic downturn and gradually led him towards starting his own business.  RestaurantEngine idea  While building websites for different clients in diverse industries, he realised how difficult it was for small business owners to build and set up their websites even on platforms like Wordpress. That inspired him to create a hosted platform built on top of Wordpress in order to make it easier for business owners to build websites for their businesses. While in the planning process he realised that he could not standardize the platform for all types of businesses so he had to specialize it to one business sector and he settled for the restaurant sector because restaurants always require the same content on their websites like menus, etc. Focusing on one industry/niche made it easier for him to market the product.  Going full-time into RestaurantEngine  Brian was balancing his freelance work with working on RestaurantEngine for 2 years before he could go full-time into it. He had three people working for him in customer support, one in sales and one in content marketing. He built the site himself and had one developer on-call to support when needed.  Determining the viability of the RestaurantEngine idea  Brian didn't know whether the idea would work but it worked out eventually. He had to invest a lot in terms of time, hard work and personal finances in order to build the platform before it even launched and started generating revenue.   Tip: Validating a new product idea or business idea before going into it is very important  Transition from RestaurantEngine to Audience Ops  By the time he was selling RestaurantEngine, he had already started building Audience Ops. The sale closed in June 2015, and Audience Ops had launched and gotten its first clients in May 2015.  Reason for the sale...
