“Real web designers write code. Always have, always will.”
Jeffrey Zeldman

“The best way to engage honestly with the marketplace via Twitter is to never use the words "engage," "honestly," or "marketplace.”
Jeffrey Zeldman

“Content precedes design. Design in advance of content is not design, it’s decoration.”

“Real web designers write code. Always have, always will.”

“People who truly have control over time always have some in their pocket to give to someone in need. A sense of priorities drives their use of time and it can shift away from the ordinary work that’s easy to justify, in favor of the more ethereal, deeper things that are harder to justify. They protect their time from trivia and idiocy; these people are time rich. They provide themselves with a surplus of time. They might seem to idle, or relax more often than the rest, but that just might be a sign of their mastery, not their incompetence.”
Scott Berkun, Mindfire: Big Ideas for Curious Minds
