Great collection, Meng To

My immediate first impression (with my AdBlock on) is rather pleasant. Everything is right there and the minimal look feels fresh. The green is also attracting the attention where it should. What do you think?

I agree.

Not sure why the brand's look (or more like its hompage) and the look of its primary product have started going in different directions lately.

Considering Sketch is saying that a Library would just be an ordinary Sketch file (in their documentation), I assume it will play nice with Abstract.

https://fontsinuse.com is darn nice. Sometimes helps you understand what contexts a particular font is most used in.

Hey Farzad Absolutely amazing product. Kudos to your team! At what minimum team size do you think this will start paying off?

Count me in.

Went through the actual report and don't see Maeda stating anywhere what this article headline says. The report in fact states - Code is not the only unicorn skill. And even says designers should get good at writing, business, articulating etc. I guess the article is just clickbaity and we should stop reacting.
