Welcome to Collective #797 |
Today, I noticed that "There is an AI for that" has achieved a remarkable milestone: it now encompasses over 10,000 AI-powered tools—a truly impressive number. It's apparent which direction the ship is heading, and it's no secret that layoffs in the coding and design realm (as well as many other sectors) will continue in a dramatic manner. But, let's stay positive. Think like Marie Curie, who said, "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood." When things are uncertain, let's be curious and brave with an open heart ❤️🤔
Starting tomorrow, we have something really special for you! Join us as we rewind the clock on 2023's highlights with daily doses of design inspiration, frontend articles, resources, and exclusive deals in our first Advent calendar!
Happy discovering! |

Did you know that… |
…that the term "uppercase" and "lowercase" originated from the printing press era? Printers would keep their metal type in two cases: the larger, capital letters in the "uppercase" case, and the smaller, minuscule letters in the "lowercase" case. This naming convention has persisted and become integral to typography language, even in our digital age. |
