There are so many AI takes i see here that i disagreee with but me i don’t want drama. A lot of y’all need to actually learn how to use AI and AI tools and stop dropping opinions learn mehn

Speaking about AI in the Design era. Design is about art, not tools. As a designer, you are an artist tools are simply there to support your expression of the ideas in your head. It’s just like a pen and paper. Anyone can use these tools, but artists create better work with them. In the same way, AI and design tools are accessible to everyone, but the outcome still depends on the person using them. Skill, taste, and perspective are what make the difference. Tools don’t make the art the artist makes the work. With AI, the horizon has become almost unlimited. These tools can generate designs and even produce high quality outputs based on specific rules with skills existing now.However, design itself remains an art. Please Design is not Photoshop, Illustrator, or Figma. These tools have given everyone the ability to create good work, but some people still consistently produce better results than others. Design is the thinking, the intention, and the creativity behind what is created. The tools only help you execute it.

@elitethedev @omacreates_ The people who ask this question misunderstand what design is and stands for.

Do you still design in figma? I really don't care I still do.

@Atomthecreator Not anymore o

The em dash of Ai generated websites

@pixelbyayo Cooking 🔥🔥

I built Handy, a macOS app that turns your voice into clean text, anywhere. Hold a key, speak and release. Your words appear wherever your cursor is. 🙂 No switching apps. No "um" and "like." Just clean text, instantly.

@pixelbyayo Nice

Just finished building a really cool MacOS app using Claude. Will be sharing a demo soon. 🙂

@aydahnizzy Joining you soon

lately, outside my 9-5. I spend a lot of time in code, in terminals installing one package or the other, fine tuning animations, trying to understand why something feels good or why it feels off. agents have made building interactions easier even though it still requires much work at the same time. what an era.

@waverchocs Congrats chief

@Benn_X1 Need to rewire my brain for this

Don't wait until you understand everything and have answers to all the questions before you execute.

@aliszu A Really well designed app

Last year I worked on Abode. I can't remember the last time working on something brought me this much joy. This much fulfillment. This much happiness from knowing that what I'm designing is genuinely pleasant for people to use. It was the first project that felt fully aligned with who I am. Where building great user experiences actually mattered more than chasing big money. It taught me a lot. About who I am, what brings me joy, and more less what I want to do next. The acquisition and watching Abode get sunset was somehow hard for me. was harder. But the thing is 100% of the leads coming to after.design have Abode saved in their inspiration folders. That tells me it all meant something. And maybe even though Abode is history now, it's still quietly shaping the startups being built today ✨

@am33r__105 @BusariKhalid This cant be overemphasized.Freedom of creativity is the only way you can do your best work.

you can only do your best work if you're doing what you want to do and if you're doing it the way you think it should be done.

@kail_designs This is what designing with intent is all about

This is why Apple is a trillion dollar company

@iliazolotukhin Design foundations should be the starting point

I don't think junior designer should start from Figma these days.

What you view as common knowledge is most times not common. You'd be so suprised how much you actually know.

Ai helps makes things faster.Care could thus be focused on.

@TheObiLeonard See you soon

Talent is in short supply.
