@yitong @parkerhendo 🥵

instead of the slop fashion show the corgi people put on, we need a vintage tech merch meetup. i want to see your issey miyake Sony vest, NeXT computer tee, compaq art of war shirt

@yitong ebay dau over here

@GK3 DUDE

@geoffreylitt @charlieholtz we should also get rid of "dog fooding" who wants to be eating dog food

@charlieholtz preach! “Factories” is a depressing vision of the future, metaphors matter

"The Wall" by @GK3 is one of my favorite articles I've read in 2026 it perfectly captures what it's like building with AI as a designer today open.substack.com/pub/gk3fyi/p/t…

@ridd_design @yitong prototyping in a playground is still useful for very out of the box ideas, but if we're talking feature level concepts i'd rather just do it in prod and then be able to live with it for real vs pretending 🙃

@GK3 @yitong welp I think it's time to pack up and go home now

this is the fork in the road that determines the future role of "designer" imo is it more about owning frontend? (production) or is it enough to reap the benefits of simply exploring in the medium (playgrounds)?

@ridd_design @yitong depends on what % really care about the experience the end user is having vs just playing with toys in their playground

@yitong currently doing both but mainly just because of a startup environment :) I'm very curious what % of designers move all the way here vs. stay in playgrounds

@tylr ty!

@GK3 this is fantastic

Software Design is weird. It is undoubtedly the most impactful medium shaping the world today, yet even those of us working in it know very little of its history. We have no broadly-read books, no docu-series, no video essays. Most see the works of the past as obsolete rather than the rich heritage that has led us here. Every year, seminal works are lost to time accessible only in the memories of those who lived it. We're (re)building Software Design's most seminal moments one pixel at a time and sharing the stories behind the work straight from the designers themselves.

@andy_matuschak always good to have more tools in your tool belt imo

Prototypers: do you still see a role for semi-high-fidelity modalities like Origami? Or just straight from sketchbook/mocks to vibecode?

@Flomerboy congrats!! excited for this 🍿

New thing! Say hello to AI Design Field Guide - a new long-form publication focusing on how software and design are changing

@jmtrivedi wavy

Playing around with this wavy carousel. Should probably be the default list style :)

@soleio somehow i survived!

@GK3 I’ve professionally failed you huh
