New post from Filippo, a talented designer who recently joined Automattic for the second time. Some really great observations and I especially love this part:
Design quality
The quality of design work and thinking has gotten better than when I was here last time. All our properties look more sophisticated and polished. So are our internal communications and templates.
You can tell the extra care and attention that goes into everything. Seeing this quality of work drives me to pay extra special attention to the details. I want to meet and exceed the standard that’s being said. It’s motivating.
We’ve put a lot of work into improving the design quality over the past few years and I’m really happy its so apparent. Glad to have you back, Filippo!

Wanted some solo miles today. First time riding behind the Campbell gates. Rolling hills on good gravel. Didn’t see a single person. Perfect weather, lovely views. Route.

Checked out the new Shepard Fairey mural this morning and snapped some pictures along the way.

For last four years, I’ve signed up for the annual Sturdy Dirty Enduro. Its an all-women mountain bike race and its the only one I do. It feels more like a fun group ride and I look forward to it every year.
This year it sold out in 3 minutes, which is wild. Its also the 10th anniversary. It fell on the weekend after my first week back to work; I was still not feeling 100% and didn’t get a chance to pre-ride. 3 of the 4 segments were newly built trails so I race them blind. Can’t wait to ride them again. I still had so much fun even in the heat. Placed 8th in my category.
