Back in the days when I started with game dev: "Juice it or lose it", which I think also applies to making "joyful" UX in apps, too. [1]

I found Dan Gelbart's series about building prototypes [1] to be fascinating, and helpful. I was especially impressed with his video about flexures.[2]

Ruby on Rails demo by DHH back in 2005/6. I was blown away that he created a blog application with comments in 15 minutes, I was working on Asp.NET back then and it would have taken me about a week to do that.
