  • Reminds me of how I warm up premade naan bread from the supermarket: I quickly run it under tap water (like, a second, maybe two if I’m taking it straight out of the freezer) before placing into a pre-heated oven that I immediately switch to broil. The water gets absorbed, making the inside soft and moist even as the outside crisps up.





  • My own pet peeve is UI components whose associated action is divorced from the components interaction feedback.

    For example, a button that seems visibly pressed (even lights up! Maybe there’s even audio or haptic feedback!) but once you release, nothing actually happens because you were supposed to press it or hold it down for slightly longer.

    This even happens with physical controls: in some elevators you can press a floor button such that it lights up momentarily, and even beeps, and yet the elevator doesn’t register the command and you have to press again, longer.
