Links I Liked: June 2019
In an effort to clear out my tabs (and share more!), here are some things I’ve been reading, listening to, and watching recently.
Leadership
Resilient Management, Lara Hogan. This book is a quick read full of actionable advice, prompts for self reflection, and tons of reference material to dive deeper.
🆒 Design links
The BuzzFeed Product Design Highlight Reel. Shameless plug! I wrote about all the great things the Product Design team has shipped this year.
Drop caps & design systems, Ethan Marcotte.
1% Better, Robin Rendle. I love this quick read because it reminds me of what I’ve been telling the Design team at BuzzFeed for the last few months: if what you’re doing makes our products better tomorrow than they were yesterday (if even by a small amount), you’re on the right track.
Non-design links
Fixing Your Work Environment Will Not Fix Your Life, Megan Greenwell.
Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia. Content warning for stories of sexual assault, incest, and physical abuse.
Two of my favorite recent quizzes on BuzzFeed: How Far Can You Make It Through This "Sk8er Boi" Lyrics Quiz? and If You Still Remember All The Lyrics To "Super Bass" I'll Be Seriously Impressed
