THE QUICK BROWN FOX 🦊

Is Pangram, sentences that contain each letter of the alphabet at least once, the best way to test font? Jonathan Hoefler’s

essay Text for Proofing Fonts

is a must-read on the current solution, actual problem, and how we should be thinking!

DESIGN RESOURCES 🖼️

Here are three useful websites for designers — Design vault

focuses on UI patterns, while Checklist.design

is a pool checklist for multiple situations. And Little Big Details

is a blog that documents finer details.

DALL-E 🤖

Dall-E

is an AI tool that can generate realistic images and art

from a provided description. Casey Newton does a deep dive

on its capabilities. It’s an interesting read and perspective.

FREE PHOTOSHOP 🆓

Think of a world where you don’t have to pirate Photoshop! Adobe is planning to make Photoshop on the web free for everyone

. More like a freemium, restricted structure!

MANAGING UP 💡

I remember Harish

explaining to me ‘Managing Up’ with no negative connotation. It’s something I still believe in and consider a must-have in senior roles. This article

explains the same concept in a very detailed manner. A must-read.

V I K R A M 🎞️

The Kamal Haasan fan (thanks to Crazy Mohan

) in me is super happy with what Lokesh delivered as Vikram. While the plot remains old, the presentation, style, music, and building of a Cinematic Universe by connecting Vikram to Kaithi
13
was exciting! While fans are waiting for Vikram-3, Rolex, Rolex-vs-Dilli, and all, I am waiting for a full-length comedy from Kamal, like Thenali
14
, Panchatanthiram

, or MMKR
16
.

PS: TIL Rajni’s Shivaji was released 15 years ago! F***. I still remember standing in the queue with Kiran and Sheen. 15 years. Really!?
