Too bad he didn't learn about putting a fixed width on divs! ;)
EDIT: ...and I failed in trying to point out someone else's fail.
Karma.
Hah. Did I screw something up? Can you point out what DIV is causing the issue?
Haha it's the social div in the bottom right...it breaks in Safari, maybe it's just at a certain breakpoint:

Fantastic post, Joshua and what an experience.
Miss you buddy <3
Great post Joshua, really well written!
Could you clarify what you mean by point #2? I break most of my work up into modular components, even micro-components. I know lots of designers who work that way too. It doesn't seem to be something exclusive to large companies?
Then you might be able to appreciate what I mean! I do believe there are varying degrees of understanding the principles of modular design. I think this can be most-understood and appreciated when working on a large social product.
Social products of the modern web have become inherently modular, to the nth degree. (Meta data makes up profiles cards which make up a community list, etc...)
Ah ok, I see.
Right now we see a lot of designers approaching design in a traditional way. They design a full page at hi-fidelity with hi-res assets. I'm curious, do you think in the near future, we will see a move away from that approach toward a more modular approach, where designers would focus on perfecting modular components, rather than perfecting pages?
The bigger the company, the larger the design team, the more I believe this approach will be found.
Nice one Joshua! Love the #8.
