Greg Huntoon

We've opened a new Designer Advocate, Federal position (in DC) on our NAMER Advocacy team @figma. This role will work closely with government and public sector teams, support design systems at scale, and bring real user insight back into our products. job-boards.greenhouse.io/figma/jobs/579…

Keep having fun out there, people!

@un3valuated @0xSero Love it!

@GregHuntoon @0xSero Absolutely, I was trying to say we should do same as well when we got a chance.

I'm not the only one doing this. - karpathy best thought leader, best person to learn from imo. Nanochat is the best way to get into training LLMs its the simplest and most digestible source for building your first AI model - steipete This guys GitHub is a national treasure, his writing is also very strong. Peekaboo, summarize.sh, openclaw, oracle, just talk to it, etc.. all unique and very useful - badlogicgames Mario’s Pi is a staple AI engine and possibly the best, simplest, open source agentic loop to learn from. Despite what people say about his methods, I think he’s going to set some new standards for Open source contribution. Big respect. - TheAhmadOsman This man is the GPU king, giveaways and lots of dense educational content around self hosting and home inference. He’s also tight with pretty much all the open weight labs and has them on for interviews regularly - sudoingX This is an up and comer who will change the game, he's pushing the limits of what a single gpu can do - Ex0byt I can confidently say this man will be fundamental in making local inference on massive models possible. - alexinexxx I genuinely feel motivated by her drive. She’s a real hard worker learning about GPU kernel programming. Also good aesthetics - gospaceport I would not have gotten into building my own hardware without this man’s hard work. He’s taught me so much about hardware and the economics of this. He also has the most impressive homelabs I’ve ever seen. - alexocheema The founder of Exolabs, pioneering Apple hardware inference, he’s also very engaged in the community and a good guy all around. If you are interested in Mac minis and Mac Studios this is your guys. - nummanali This guy is so prolific, he’s made tons of CLI tools for managing llm subscription budgets, using Claude code with alternative models etc.. - thdxr The entire Opencode team is wonderful but Dax specifically is a good writer. More anti-doomer content to sooth your anxieties. - juliarturc If you are interested in the science, Julias channel is where it’s at. Almost everything I’ve learned about LLM compression has been from her. - Teknium The Nous research & Prime intellect teams are both some of the most hard-working and principled people around. Tough fight in an industry so aggressive. - victormustar Head of Product for Huggingface, enabling us all to publish our work. - louszbd Head of community at ZAI some of the top LLMs available right now that are open weights. They supercharged the movement - SkylerMiao7 Making frontier intelligence fit on 10k USD of hardware. Via MiniMax - crystalsssup Building the best Open Weight model on the market, and releasing their latest research before their next gen model. Believe it or not these people are carrying the entire industry and giving us a fighting chance.

@un3valuated @0xSero Still needs to be applauded.

@GregHuntoon @0xSero Isn't it spirit of OSS? We should keep moving this by redirecting our power to open source community 💯

@jasonsbmoc Beautiful work, Jason!

a few recents for Medium

@ugmonk Have the card bar front and center on my desk with three cards up at all times. Such beautiful craftmanship. Well done, Jeff!

@Aurelien_Gz @tubikstudio "design is dead"

omg this is how you create an insanely creative navigation.. ​this is the triumphant return of skeuomorphism wizards » @tubikstudio

I, for one, will be sitting front row eating popcorn while @trq212 and @brettmcmillin are dropping knowledge. Register and see you in a couple of weeks.

@davidasinclair It is usually the better choice when trying to bake dairy-free though. Oat milk performs so much more like cow's milk.

Oat milk is like sugar water. Almond is the better choice

@RypeArts @perplexity_ai Ummm, yeah...this is pretty rad.

Made another simple photo app. Needed a grid builder with some animation, so I had @perplexity_ai Computer build it instead of hunting down a tutorial. Made a bunch of Riso prints from it too! pplx.ai/gridpic

Nothing gets me more geeked than talking with other designers about design. About process. About the ways they approach problems. Got this banger from a convo w/ @LC_Finch today about Figma Make, AI, prototyping, and why (and when) speed matters. Love it, Luke! Agree 100%.

@LinusEkenstam 100% agree

You know what’s about to explode? Analog. The real world. 90’s all over.

Design is the messy middle. The divergent exploration and play that leads to great design. Differentiated design. Anthropic's own "Design" plugin in Claude Desktop lists the following design skills: accessibility-review design-critique design-handoff design-system research-synthesis user-research ux-copy Absolutely fine getting first passes of each of those skills on my work. I'm also excited to have AI work alongside me as I design and build, and love using LLMs for code (of course). But I want to keep doing the maker work: discovery, exploration, visual polish, interaction design, the detail work, etc. Also important for all designers to remember: AI in a good designer's hands just makes them better. It doesn't replace them, it lets each designer choose where they lean in and where they're fine automating.

This would only make sense if it were marketed toward SMB, but it’s not. A strategist, sales lead, or marketer at mid-market or enterprise level would be much better off having a designer on retainer for 3-7k a month who does literally everything beyond decks. Also “design tax”… the bad design tax is far more painful.

@martns_ss @darasoba Love this

I’m currently taking the ShipWithAI course with @darasoba , and I realized pretty quickly: I wasn’t documenting anything. Working in the CLI with AI is fun — you get in the flow, ship fast… and then forget what you actually did in the session. Which is a problem. So I built Clidoc — a “git commit” for your thinking. After any terminal AI session, just run: npx clidoc -n "what you worked on" It will: Read your git diff Send context to an LLM Generate a structured doc of what happened Capture the why behind your changes Simple setup: Just one API key needed Works with either OpenAI or Anthropic Why this matters: Git tracks code Clidoc tracks reasoning If you’re building with AI in the terminal, this becomes your memory layer. → Try it: github.com/Figmusk/clidoc

My first car was an ‘85 Suburban. Someday I’m gonna get it tattooed—it was our party ride—and might have to do it as an homage to one of the OGs w/ this style. Sometimes playing with AI images is just too much fun. @NanoBanana is…umm…🍌🍌🍌. Huge tip of the cap to Rat Fink.

@shuding This is tight, efficient, and so clean!

COBE v2: reliably use any DOM elements as markers & arcs. CSS transition, animation, filter, interactivity, ...all just work. High perf, zero deps, still ~5KB. Coming soon.

@soleio @zebriez One of *our* guys…

@soleio @zebriez Lmfao… I can confirm this second hand Soleio. One of guys mentioned that just the other day. “Soleio just said, ‘Are you free now? What’s your number?’”

It’s really annoying when someone asks for your time and makes scheduling very difficult for you.

@The_SummerMan Surely you’re talking about last nights @Lakers game.

You should be able to log NBA games on Letterboxd

@sidneyOko Crazy part is that the “last baby” was born in 2009.

I was 9 😭
