  • It’s super hard to get involved as a UI person. If you’re a developer, you can just rock up to a project and fix bugs, and if you follow the coding style they’ll probably get accepted.

    If you want to successfully contribute as a UI person you have to convince a bunch of developers that you know what they should be doing better than they do. It basically never happens.




  • It’s a consequence of parliamentary sovereignty.

    Parliament can always dissolve itself and call an election, and it’s an important mechanism for getting rid of the government.

    The problem is that the prime minister also has a majority in parliament, and that means he can make parliament dissolve itself when he likes.

    This was actually a problem for Johnson. Initially, he didn’t have enough of a majority and it wasn’t clear he could call an election without Corbyn’s support.
