I spent too much time on this: CLARK: My contention is that with Claude’s new design tool, Figma has essentially been rendered obsolete, the canvas-based paradigm is most aptly characterized as a legacy artifact from the era before models could generate production-ready interfaces from inten— WILL: [interrupting] Of course that’s your contention. You’ve never shipped anything and just watched the launch video twice. You just got finished reading some hot take, probably a Twitter thread or whoever’s got a Substack this week, and you’re gonna be convinced Figma’s dead until next month when you actually try to iterate on a flow and realize “regenerate” isn’t the same as “nudge this four pixels.” Then you’re gonna pivot to talking about how the canvas was always just a lossy interface for intent. That’s gonna last until next year when you’re in here regurgitating some take about how design tools are collapsing into a single agentic surface, you know, the post-craft utopia and the disintermediation of taste by foundation models. CLARK: [taken aback] Well as a matter of fact I won’t, because generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas in the first pla— WILL: “Generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas, especially as models get better at reasoning about layout and hierarchy…” You got that from that Figma-is-dead thread, right? The one that went viral last week. Yeah, I read it too. You gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us, or you have any thoughts — of your own — on this? Or is that your thing, you come into a bar, you skim some trending tweets over lunch and you pawn it off as your own idea to impress some founders, embarrass my friend? [Clark is stunned] WILL: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in about fifty product cycles you’re gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you’re gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in building things. One: don’t pick a side in a tool war you’re not actually building in. And two: the people shipping right now are using Claude and Figma and Claude Code before you’ve finished writing your LinkedIn post about which one won. CLARK: Yeah, well I’ll have Claude build my whole product stack, and you’ll still be pushing rectangles around in Figma. WILL: [smiles] Yeah, maybe. But at least I’ll still know how to think when the model’s wrong.

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

@flyosity I’m so sorry to hear that Mike. It’s devastating.

Last Sunday morning I was on FaceTime with my Mom as the kids excitedly told her about their upcoming school and sports activities This Sunday morning I'll be giving the eulogy at her funeral Tomorrow is not promised 💔 Love you Mom

@flyosity @jack Oh come on, Moltbot should be running Treeo by now anyways.

@MarcDennert @jack 😂🤪😇

Thinking about all the cool Sales & Account Management custom tooling I designed and helped build for Square just before AI and the infinite cool ways we could make it better now plus other brilliant tools they should build in 2026 and beyond @jack I know you're all over this

@kevinyien 🧐🤔😏

unreasonably cool job alert 1/ link is *wild* (come find out why) 2/ dan is *amazing* (DM for stories) 3/ your pm and eng partners would also be named “dan”!

@flyosity @treeo (stiffness / mass) You're branching into some new content I see!

Me in college: “When will I ever use this??” Adult me, using it:

@flyosity I’m concerned you snapped this while driving.

@kevinyien Ooh, interested to hear more about their internal tooling strategy. Really become a passion of mine.

Observations after week 1 at Stripe: - mission is palpable - people are ambitious yet humble - onboarding is impressive - internal tooling is insane - there’s so much to do!!

@flyosity @treeo As a lefty, I can't get onboard with spiral bound, but totally agree with the dot grid.

Spiral bound, dot grid, no exceptions

@flyosity Isn’t that ironically a truer ai? It’s artificially pretending to be intelligent software.

Years ago QuickBooks let users upload receipts and then "AI" would identify the expense amount and category automatically. Sometimes it worked fast and sometimes it took hours. It was actually just workers in the Philippines, and it took awhile sometimes because they were asleep

@flyosity @treeo Can’t wait!

After 3 great years at Square working on their most interesting AI products, I decided to leave in March to work on the best idea I’ve ever had. Your next favorite app is coming soon, sign up for early access to TestFlight ⤵

@flyosity Is that Bryce? It blew my mind when I got to play with it in high school art class.

you wouldn’t last one hour in the asylum where they raised me

JAMAL MURRAY. GAME WINNER.

@flyosity There would absolutely be images of you with the same beard. Actually, I bet we would have figured out if there was a beard filter for Meet!

@MarcDennert I would’ve been roasted mercilessly in meetings for a few days, that’s for sure haha

Zuck added a beard filter to his Meta HorizonOS announcement today, my life is now complete
