Some rendering in Spline. I would love to get more fluent in 3D.

Turn OFF iPhone processing and your photos will finally look good. New YouTube video showing you how!

Over 1,000 profiles have been created already! What profile are you building first?

I’m a little obsessed with @MarathonTheGame.

Muted the word “prompt”. Peace-maxxing my life.

I’ve also seen: “The truth is nobody cares that you care about the code/craft”. The truth is: - I care. Cause I want to work with people that are passionate and have an opinion. - People that have pride, honor, and integrity. - People that have respect. So don’t trade-in your passion because some ass holes don’t care. Just find a better caliber of person to work with.

Some discourse I’ve been seeing is: “God I love seeing these developers get humbled.” “Ha a machine is better than you.” The people that are saying this are the people who were too daunted to learn the skill they so desperately desired. This immature take is very telling of your weakness. Quick timeline: 1. Engineers make everything come to life. 2. People seek this skill. 3. Engineers build a tool/god that allows anyone to somewhat engineer/do anything. 4. Yeah fuck these developers bout time they get humbled? What a shit take.

I have to imagine the “I can do it alone” mindset is going to be quite harmful. We need people.

I forgot how fun this album is. music.apple.com/us/album/cryst… The Flaherty house is in a state of Dance.

@aliszu @AlecPloof @d__raptis @MomentProCamera Made my morning coffee that more exquisite! Appreciate it.

@AlecPloof @d__raptis @MomentProCamera pleasure on my side!

found this great app to get inspired for your App store graphics. showcases the assets from the most well-designed iOS apps → before.click by @aliszu

Loved hearing from you. I definitely feel a lot of what you’re feeling. Been using ai for a few years now. At first it was to help migrate from one framework to the next. Was mostly educational. But now for our commerce app it’s hard not to just have Cursor just tackle it. The codebase has already been crafted, so now the ai is working inside of the home we built. Our growth team has been building their own dashboard that connects all our apis. Which is great cause it’s work that is helpful to them, but doesn’t necessarily lead to new revenue. BUT for our iOS camera app we’ve kept that entirely built by hand - from design to engineering. What this means for me is that the commerce engineering work can be implemented faster - and in theory would mean I get more time for our camera app. BUTTT what I’ve found is that I now just have more threads going, on every project, all the time. The goal is to not just delegate and offset the work entirely, but to move more into a guide. To encourage people to slow down, not just go 100mph. Teach principles and simple shapes. Yes we can iterate on 100s of prototypes, that’s are functional. But with out a real “why” or “heart” driving the product. To just stumble in darkness hoping for some truth is silly. And as you noted, does not lead to growth or a real connection to what you’ve built. Things that remain true. - The grass is greenest where you water it. - Easy and cheap shouldn’t be the goal - We are artisans - the tools do not matter - it’s how we care and our drive to build that sets us apart

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

Custom camera profiles completely changes the game! Now you can spend more time shooting and way less time dialing in your camera settings each time.

Life before Profiles feels like the stone-ages. This is such a huge unlock.

@AlecPloof @avasscarf @MomentProCamera Our beta users have been testing the first batch of plates, early feedback is really good. I know it’s been a minute - but it’s coming - and will be worth the wait. I appreciate the patience.

@avasscarf @MomentProCamera Action Plates is the next big update, we're really close

Introducing Profiles. A brand new way save your favorite camera settings and recall it with a tap.

I’ve seen designers and engineers both talk about the impact of ai. As it has opened new door ways to each it’s hard not evangelize that pure elation of discovery. As a design-engineer ai hasn’t exactly had the same effect on me - but it has multiplied my output for sure - more is at my fingertips. …but the design-engineer shtick does feel over done now though - it’s just not a thing to conquer. It’s just become another tool in the bat belt. I think what is ultimately exciting is loving people, stoking potential, inspiring someone to create and dream. Now if I can do this better…. That would be something to champion.
