Продать или сдать: когда вторичный рынок лучше шеринга — и наоборот

У вас есть вещь, которой почти не пользуетесь. Фотоаппарат, перфоратор, палатка. Или — если масштаб другой — экскаватор, который простаивает между объектами. Продать или сдавать в аренду? Большинство решает на интуиции. Мы решили посчитать. Фотоаппарат за 80 000 рублей: продажа даст 50 000 прямо сейчас.

Дизайн-токены: полный гайд по архитектуре и неймингу c примерами и задачками

Дизайн-токены — это язык, понятный как дизайнерам, так и разработчикам. Без него продукт получается разрозненным и неповоротливым. Токены и правильный нейминг помогают создавать новые разделы быстрее, а дизайнерам больше думать о сценариях и создавать визуал в рамках продукта, а не заниматься рутиной.Если в вашем коде и макетах до сих пор живут значения типа #0055FF — вы копите технический долг, ведь если понадобится изменить этот цвет на другой, придется менять и...
