Pixel Perfect Picks #131 - WoW, Speed, Fried

Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.


Saw Something

Since Christmas last year I picked up a little hobby I have had for ages, which is playing World of Warcraft. Now I'm again really immersed in the world, focusing primarily on story and lore content. And I can't wait for the next expansion. Really looking forward to spending some time in Azeroth and diving into nostalgic memories. 

Read Something

Right now everybody is talking about AI and since this Twitter post I shared last week, I'm also trying to build something every day. It's crazy what you can get done in two hours. For example, following this workflow here

Heard Something

Jason Fried is one of the most incredible people when it comes to product thinking and design in my opinion. And I just love his way of thinking and the opinionated ideas he's baking into his products. This 2 hour podcast is just a masterclass in exactly these things.

I love working in the realm between design and code. Some things that make me excited are CSS, Interaction design, Javascript, and making interfaces feel fun and human.
