I’ve been thinking about changing the tech underpinning this site more and more lately. I’ve wanted a static site for a while, but the continuing uncertainty around WordPress might be what pushes me over the edge. I’m just not sure which direction to go. I’ve been hearing a lot about Eleventy lately, but that might be more effort than I’m willing to expend right now. Perhaps, I’ll try one of the static site plugins first as that might have the lowest time commitment.

Interesting case study on developing a design system for the people behind the counter. Strange that they don’t mention any field work here, just virtual stakeholder interviews. Starbucks are everywhere, seems like they could have popped into one to see how people do their work. Also, while “delightful” may be a common principal for design systems, do people really want to be “surprised” by their devices at work?
