Restock by No-Code Supply Co. | Ep. 01 | Good Friction Friction gets a bad rap. But sticky friction, the kind that makes you stop, think, and feel the weight of what you built, is what keeps critical thinking alive when everything else pushes you to automate it away. It shows up as checkpoints, guardrails, and forcing functions that keep the thinking in the process. Figma beat Sketch by removing the right friction (file sharing, collaboration) and keeping the creative resistance intact. Git works the same way. Using AI for writing still works best when the hard thinking happens upfront and the tool handles execution, not ideas.

Restock by No-Code Supply Co. | Ep. 01 | Good Friction

Friction gets a bad rap. But sticky friction, the kind that makes you stop, think, and feel the weight of what you built, is what keeps critical thinking alive when everything else pushes you to automate it away. It shows up as checkpoints, guardrails, and forcing functions that keep the thinking in the process.

Figma beat Sketch by removing the right friction (file sharing, collaboration) and keeping the creative resistance intact. Git works the same way. Using AI for writing still works best when the hard thinking happens upfront and the tool handles execution, not ideas. Also: text-box-trim getting closer, CSS masonry hitting Safari via grid lanes, and Easing Wizard for CSS easing curves.
