Steve hasn't posted any stories yet.
One aspect missing that is crucial for UI design - accessibility.
A lot of designers think accessibility stops them being creative, but it's just another constraint that boosts your creative thinking :)
As someone who is more of a lefty, I liked it. But as someone who works in a UX agency, it feels like the statements are written with a left-leaning bias to them, with a few others thrown in for "balance". Where the statements researched individually, and as a whole?
Also, it would be good to see the site state upfront that it is US-based. As someone who is in the UK :)
I've always worked closely with devs so have never needed more than simple options, except 2-3 times where I used Principle. Now I just use Adobe XD for anims.
I understand your pain though, there doesn't seem to be a solid middle ground contender.
However, I've heard good things about Flow: https://createwithflow.com/ Might be worth a look?
Do you have research references to back up your claims in this article, Anthony?
Spelling error on the inside front page of a client brochure that had a print run of 120,000… heat reduced by the fact that 3 people at our end and 2 people at their end had supposedly reviewed it, so not entirely my fault.
Really great to see this level of transparency for interviewing. Designers in a team would be expected to have this level of understanding before they produce really great work for the company, so sharing it beforehand just makes an interview process more in line with the possible future situation.
Did you check Medium.com? Also the GDS and wider team blogs are generally good for these. Take a look at:

For us the UK there are GDPR issues around keeping more sensitive research data, so that requires extra work to anonymise the results and outcomes.
As you say, Atlassian has a fantastic wiki tool in Confluence, and at $10 per month per user it's probably worth it to you. I've helped create research archive and training wikis in it with great results. Dovetail looks interesting though.
