I’m doing something different. I’m mapping the world’s design talent and making them instantly discoverable. Every architect, interior designer & urban planner’s portfolio becomes a unique aesthetic coordinate on a live 2D SoftMarket Map (1408D → UMAP projection).

李彦宏先生，你对Claude老板干了什么惨绝人寰的事情啊？

当你觉得自己 vibe coding 的东西是坨屎的时候，你不妨看看谷歌。 这可能是他们一个团队干了一年的成果。

@shawmakesmagic let me try your prompt

The quality of your vibecoded slop is horrible. I've seen it. Absolute dogshit. Fortunately, there is a fix. Use this prompt: I want to clean up my codebase and improve code quality. This is a complex task, so we'll need 8 subagents. Make a sub agent for each of the following: 1. Deduplicate and consolidate all code, and implement DRY where it reduces complexity 2. Find all type definitions and consolidate any that should be shared 3. Use tools like knip to find all unused code and remove, ensuring that it's actually not referenced anywhere 4. Untangle any circular dependencies, using tools like madge 5. Remove any weak types, for example 'unknown' and 'any' (and the equivalent in other languages), research what the types should be, research in the codebase and related packages to make sure that the replacements are strong types and there are no type issues 6. Remove all try catch and equivalent defensive programming if it doesn't serve a specific role of handling unknown or unsanitized input or otherwise has a reason to be there, with clear error handling and no error hiding or fallback patterns 7. Find any deprecated, legacy or fallback code, remove, and make sure all code paths are clean, concise and as singular as possible 8. Find any AI slop, stubs, larp, unnecessary comments and remove. Any comments that describe in-motion work, replacements of previous work with new work, or otherwise are not helpful should be either removed or replaced with helpful comments for a new user trying to understand the codebase-- but if you do edit, be concise I want each to do detailed research on their task, write a critical assessment of the current code and recommendations, and then implement all high confidence recommendations.

1536D → UMAP (5-10D) → HDBSCAN

The GPU Update Trigger: When we finally do update, we don't tell the GPU to "rebuild the map." We use an updateTrigger that says: "Hey, just tweak the fontSize buffer on the GPU. Everything else stays the same."

The RAF Shield (requestAnimationFrame): We only talk to React when the browser is ready to paint a new frame.

How SoftMarket avoids this (The Throttled Bridge) We use a three-layer "shield" to protect performance:

@GeminiApp, can we get a way to quote previous messages? Currently, if I want to tweak an image from earlier in the chat, I have to describe it all over again. A simple "Reply" button would make the creative flow so much smoother!

@flowstated If it works on an iPad, marking up UI designs will be more intuitive than ever

cursor now has design mode (⇧+⌘+D) - click to edit, drag to draw - shift + drag to box things in - add directly to chat with ⌥+click

@Tech_girlll almost did the same

When frontend developers decides to go crazy.

@leland_mcinnes Still pretty new to it, but it’s turning real designer portfolios into meaningful aesthetic coordinates + live hiring signals. Really appreciate the visibility!

@leland_mcinnes @leland_mcinnes Thank you for the repost! I completely forgot to credit you and UMAP in the original thread — my mistake. The projection from Gemini multimodal embeddings (1408D) into the 2D SoftMarket Map only works this cleanly because of UMAP.

How is everyone building with @GeminiApp Embedding 2 right now… and I’m building mine for the designers? The new multimodal model (text + images + video + audio + PDFs in one space) dropped 19 days ago and builders are already shipping fast. Here’s the current wave 👇

@signulll sometimes, a consumer company chooses you

starting a consumer company is basically opting into pain as a lifestyle. you need this weird, almost contradictory stack which is taste + timing, future intuition + present execution, & culture fluency + product rigor. most ppl have like… one of these. maybe two if they’re lucky. oh the worst thing is that there’s no clean feedback loop. ain’t no tidy dashboards telling you you’re right. it’s mostly vibes, weak signals, & ridiculously delayed validation if it comes at all (kinda like being in a toxic situationship). you’re effectively betting on something that doesn’t fully exist yet, using instincts you can’t quite articulate, in a market that will happily ignore you until it suddenly doesn’t. this is one of the most asymmetric games you can play but also one of the least coherent while you’re in it. i think of it as playing a video game in hall of fame difficulty with no tutorial & half the UI missing.

@NoahKingJr @odin_free It feels the opposite on Product Hunt

People building People talking with AI about AI

Firms just claim their own centroid → hiring signals light up in real time for exact style clusters. No text resumes. Pure visual vibe matching. AI + design folks: would you hire (or get hired) based on aesthetic coordinates instead?
