If only people spent as much time trying to make what people want as they do trying to make people want things they make.

At scale, design is an ethical issue. How many human hours did you waste by re-arranging that menu? How many car crashes did you cause by moving that button? Those who can’t stomach it should do our species a service and leave the profession immediately

@impactology Isn’t everything in question now? :] maybe we were always supposed to just match the shape of a persons skills with the shape of the problem and not the other way round. and these predefined ladders were just a way to get us this far

@abhinitial If everyone can do it, who eventually gets paid for it on a recurring basis? The criteria to get selected, promoted is in question

I don’t know yaar this doesn’t look lying a dying field to me. timelines on fire every three months that I peep back in

The term for "PM who prototypes" is just PM The term for "PM who doesn't prototype" is unemployed

@gonsalves_r @hvpandya why do I like this sound so much. where is this

@hvpandya @abhinitial

Solari split flaps are the doing rounds today. Here's an interesting approach with Claude. Added a very satisfying sound too. Try it here: hvpandya.com/solari

someone reminded me that i haven't shared details abt my process for the draw with claude project yet. i put together an overview here! lelezhang.design/drawing

*make things real

designer, PM, front end, creative technologist whatever the labels be this ability to imagine and make real things which you love to look at/play with and others also do, that seems to be more accessible than ever

@Kenneth Marketing’s job is to get them seen. Init?

@abhinitial The problem is most marketing today reads like everyone can use the tools to make something of this quality.

men in their 40s used to have cool midlife crisis but now they just have agentic workflows

#threejs continues to impress me - protoyping some rapid-response frameworks for visualising ais data that doensn't rely on overnight renders 😅! I'm always fascinated by the pattern of activity in busy shipping locations - good candidates to test the tool! #ais #dataviz

Pidalf has spoken. While agents can allow us to ship LoC at a quadratic rate, agents will also be injecting Booboos at an exponential rate. At some point the exponential curve will catch up. Slowing down has never been more relevant.

Basecamp is now fully agent accessible with a brand-new and comprehensive CLI, wrapped by a great skill, and backed by a revamped and much expanded API. It's a fantastic way to give your agents access to everything in Basecamp and integrate it anywhere. basecamp.com/agents

@codeOfRobin my nieces will disagree but yeah I do have some hope from em if anyone at all

The designer Ray is the coolest Ray. For me he will always be the guy whom i first met on the cover pages of the coolest children’s illustrated monthly magazine ever produced in India. Nothing comes close!

I wake up fairly early and I love listening to classical Hindustani ragas to get my day going. I got inspired recently by this website called Dhuni and wanted to get some of my own favorites built into a radio station and build an interesting interface with a man slowly walking through a forest as dawn becomes day becomes evening becomes night and the dawn comes back again. Used @emergentlabs And literally one-shotted this whole thing in less than 10 minutes. I was just 🤯. I have used the product often over the last 6-8 months as an investor but this was genuinely so well done. I tried using the same prompt on at least 3 other platforms and some essentially connected to radio stations that had Hindi music but then randomly inserted English music. Some didn't have an interface as cool, some had output that was barely understandable and needed a lot of APIs to YT. Some asked me to use curl on the terminal to download my favorite tracks as MP3s 😆 This experience just brought back to me how large an opportunity personal apps can be in the future. This exact thing would have cost me $20/mo as saas sub and would be fairly generic. This app now is exactly to my taste. The interface is exactly as I described it, the music is exactly like I want it. Just a delightful personal software I'm now waking up to every day. I am hosting it on @emergentlabs here if you want to check it out: meditative-woods.emergent.host
