Training Your Eye for Motion
Why taste is the skill that separates good interfaces from great ones. Learn how to develop your intuition for animation, study the work of others, and build the judgment that AI can't replace.
All the topics I've covered. I write about React, Next.js, TypeScript, databases, AI/ML, cloud deployment, performance optimization, and system design.

Not every interaction needs motion. Learn how frequency, duration, and context determine whether animation helps or hurts your interface. The difference between delight and frustration.
Move beyond duration-based animations. Learn how spring physics creates motion that responds, adapts, and feels genuinely natural. The secret behind iOS's fluid interactions.
Discover why some animations feel natural while others feel off. Explore the brain's wiring for movement, the uncanny valley of UI, and when animation becomes harmful.
