Hey design friends, come work with me on our new access management tool! Or if you know a senior product designer in the infrastructure and developer tools space, send them my way. We've got some exciting new features planned for this year!

Excited to finally show off what my team has been working on! Boundary is all about giving developers quick and secure access to critical infrastructure, and bringing it to our cloud platform means getting up and running is super fast. This is so nice for large engineering teams.
Today at #HashiConf Europe we announced the latest addition to the HashiCorp Cloud Platform -- HCP #Boundary, delivering secure remote access through the cloud. Currently available in beta. hashicorp.com/blog/announcin…

I don't know if I'm getting any better at keeping plants alive, but I am getting good at prolonging their torture.

I could tweet this at least once a week. Work small, boil things down to its essence, be intentional & diligent in adding to it later.
ALT Screenshot of a quote from John Gall that reads: Galls Law "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: a complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a simple system." - John Gall, systems theorist

You know what's held me back from sharing early?
I want it to be "right" -- which tells me that I don't want feedback or critique...
When I share late, it's because what I really want is validation.
When I share early? It's because I want to collaborate.

Discover unexpected way customers use and bend your product → build the best version of that natively → repeat.
There’s a lot of product guesswork that can be de-risked by just, you know, looking at what people want to do with your tool.

Some stats for #InternationalWomensDay: For two years running, ~60% of our hires in HashiCorp Design were women-identifying. We ended the fiscal year with 51% of our team as women-identifying.
Flip the ratio. It's worth the work.

Design systems often start from one team, like design, UX, or IT. A difficult but crucial step is for the originating team to relinquish ownership.
The more you signal it’s YOUR team’s design system, the less it becomes everyone else’s.
To be everyone’s, it can’t be anyone’s.

Design systems are all about solving the hard problems of scaling design.
The two hard problems in computer science are cache invalidation and naming things.
Design systems don't deal with cache invalidation.
Therefore, design system devs spend all their time naming things.
Coming up on the end of a very needed vacation. Spent a few days in Aspen relaxing and getting rained out of some of our plans, so we just had to ride the alpine coaster over and over instead. I love these things.

Everyone has an opinion on design.
There's always an immediate gut reaction: "Ooh, I love this!" or "Meh."
But how do you go beyond that to honing your skills of giving helpful, actionable feedback?
Here are the 7 questions I run through when critiquing a product's design 👇
Celebrating a big launch today! We hear so often that setting up and managing your own server is their biggest hurdle to doing secrets management the right way, so we're taking care of that. I'm super proud of our team for the enormous effort and excited to see folks use it!
