This app sends a lot of data back and forth with our API, as we try to determine which of the apps on your phone are safe for your kids.

I'm not good enough to work on open source software
Actually, that's not true - I've produced plenty of open source software over the years. However, in a sense, it is true: only the very best actually get paid to work on open source software full time, and I'm not one of them. People like Linus Torvalds.

Stop Designing Pages And Start Designing Flows
For designers, it’s easy to jump right into the design phase of a website before giving the user experience the consideration it deserves. Too often, we prematurely turn our focus to page design and information architecture, when we should focus on the user flows that need to be supported by our designs.
