@ishotasegod @unusual_whales Imagine that! A politician actually enacting policy in line with the will of their constituents in the hopes of (shock) gaining their approval.

BREAKING: President Joe Biden has announced he's issuing a federal pardon to every American who has used marijuana in the past, including those who were never arrested or prosecuted.

@superguenter ✌️ Goodbye old friend. Mesosphere (as it will always be known to me), was a great company. Grateful for the opportunity to work with so many talented and down-right fun humans.

@Ash_uxi Consider flipping the pencil so it’s facing down, like how you’d hold a pencil. Will help with recognition.

Literally no one wants to read your weekly design newsletter bro

@TylerGalpin The popular narrative that this is some sort of free money tech bail out is both ignorant and scary. I expect to see it from anti-tech trolls, but to see it from people in the industry who know better and are just pandering for likes is disheartening. Fuck those guys.

The cringey chaos-stoking from those that wanted to see tech burn won’t be soon forgotten.

Who remembers?
I launched this in 2010 for fun. I had a deal with my brother @Larkef where the person with the least traffic would have to pay for dinner every week.
Before I sold it (for scrap), I got about 10k unique visitors a day.

Hot take from @nickstamas on AI for design is spot on. Vector designs build on text files, making them the perfect data set for versioning (@goabstract), scripting, or 🥁 LLMs. These AI design tools floating around are toys compared to the data treasure trove Figma is sitting on.

Spoiler alert: AI isn't going to take your design job. But there's one company that's sitting on a hidden mountain of data that could radically change the way products are designed. The rest are likely vaporware or toys. Here's my prediction 👇

@nickstamas Very typical journey. Thanks for sharing so transparently. I’m inclined now to write a similar thread.

I’ve had stock options at every startup I’ve worked for, but I still drive a Honda.
Here's a raw look inside my personal journey 👇

Need a front-end developer for some relatively straight-forward mobile web, one landing page work ASAP. Holler @ me.

@TylerGalpin He is pointing out that (product) design benefits from orgnztn that aligns semantically/structurally with how it’s built - forcing you to be more thoughtful about choices. I agree. But, he’s focused a specific optimization, not the problem. Named layers ≠ good organization.

This is a really bad take lmao.

Designers that organize their work like this don’t have their own style or way of doing things. They are just inexperienced. I have no problems calling out designers for sloppy design files. You make it impossible to collaborate with writers, engineers and other designers.

Can anyone direct me to a complete stupid-proof guide on how to name Components in Figma? 🙃

@ashenden I think it might 😉. Is Yotobi for sale now??
