@fredrikalindh Interesting. We’re figuring out the best way to hire in this day and age, specially eng and design What roles is this for? Is it paid? What rounds will there be before and after?

i wrote a post on how cursor does hiring 6 months back, but a lot has changed bc of the latest models now onsite is just 5h to ship a full product from scratch here's what the people who pass do differently:

@ryolu_ Cool! How’s your role changing?

super stoked for jenny to join and lead our team 💛 makes me really happy for the team, and personally excited to regain the focus and mental space to dream big again

@stevelauda_ Butthole final boss velvetshark.com/ai-company-log…

Brand logo as the interactive particle orb

@mona_biasia Would be keen to have with initials too

Found an npm org name conflict, so it's @oreo_design/avatar 🚀 Now live with dark palette: oreo-design-avatar.vercel.app

@pdotcv Will you post an upscaled version to extend its lifespan

This clip has now been posted so many times on here, and had so much attention, that it is clearly in distress.

@ZaydenSaaSgtfs 🌶️

@benrobinsoncc 😵

How much will sales increase just for this animated CTA?

@SwamiMalode Levelling up

Bought a domain for Rare UI. rareui.com

@davidtoniolo @gambullscasino What about his URL

Real shame to be honest. Knees are awful and totally random. I know there'll be a lot of people that'll take the opportunity to rag on McGreggor. And fair enough I spose - it's the internet. But This is just sports and happens to anyone at any time. Reminds me of a mate I used to play basketball with. Most athletic man I knew... And he had this same exact layup pattern he'd do when in open court. One day I see him do it for the 1000th time, and this time... ACL+PCL+MCL.

🚨 Conor McGregor just broke yet another record He is the first ever fighter in history to finish himself within 30 seconds of the fight.

@diabrowser Why is the chat icon green?

Reports in Dia are the most aesthetic, organized "AI Artifact" you'll use.

@brian_lovin Try London

Nothing will radicalize you about The Good Life as much as watching a World Cup game at a beer garden in Berlin on a summers night

@ZaydenSaaSgtfs Cool

@karrisaarinen @linear Where art thou trust and care

Might be a good time to mention that @linear recently added beautiful & simple team docs. Create a doc and it’s saved under your team. Each team gets a docs list, plus a homepage where you can pin the important ones. Simple and clear.

You know a company is starting to lose the plot when they start publishing nonsense comparison pages. Who is juggling Linear, Jira, Rovo for AI, and Loom? 😂 (we still haven’t published a single comparison page)

@NotionHQ Standalone agent app. Once you progress too far in becoming the everything app, you must advance towards the great separation of said apps

Something new is coming 👀

@micka_design V nice. Wondering how you recommend solving for Windows and its scrollbar?

We all miss scroll areas. MacOS hides scrollbars until you scroll, but some surfaces need to show there’s more below. Here’s Fluid Functionalism’s attempt to fix it. fluidfunctionalism.com/docs/scrollbars

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU CANNOT MARKET THE PRODUCT BUT YOU KEEP ADDING FEATURES?

@signulll Middle age af

it’s kinda funny that half the ppl think the person behind this account is old af & the other half think he’s young af. which is hilarious because both are wrong.

@rjs Enter the product designer

I've heard this too many times now. "We cycled through a few different Heads of Product... they never work out." The pattern looks like this... 1. Founders notice they aren't shipping product. 2. They think a Head of Product will fix it. 3. Head of Product comes in, and spends time/energy at the "strategy" level of framing. 4. The strategy from the Head of Product misses the mark. 5. Founders realize they probably have better ideas about strategy. 6. Founders explain what's important to the Head of Product. 7. Head of Product doesn't have the right skills to translate "this is what we want to solve" to a blueprint of what to specifically build. In the end, it's a mix of wrong output and no output. What went wrong here? The #1 mismatch I see is that founders don't know what to expect from the Head of Product, and vice versa. Founders think they should delegate strategy, which is often not the case. Heads of Product think they should contribute strategy, which is often not the case. What's missing is this ... very often Founders have a good nose for what needs to get solved. What they need is someone who can NARROW DOWN and TRANSLATE that into a specific concept with good UX that's technically legible. But instead what happens is both compete for the "set the strategy" role. And nobody is problems into frames into shapes to go build. My #1 advice to founders thinking they need a head of product. Ask yourself: do you actually NOT know what you want, strategically? Are you really looking to outsource strategy? If it's not actually about bringing in someone from outside to set the direction for your whole product ... then you need someone who is skilled ONE LEVEL DOWN in concreteness. Meaning someone who can listen to you about what matters, whiteboard the solution that pulls it all together, and work with technical people to make it happen. There is a HUGE gap in the market today. We need product people who can work ABOVE the level of Figma-visuals and BELOW the level of "company strategy". So much work of getting to what we actually ship — the blueprint — is in-between. And let me tell you ... if you EVER go to a product conference, prepare to be deeply misled. There are WAY TOO MANY talks about "strategy" when nobody in the room is truly responsible for strategy. Product is ultimately about understanding the purpose and translating that into a specific design. A Head of Product who can't whiteboard a UI flow or make technical trade-offs with engineers isn't heading product. They're trying to play CEO.

@scspeier @benjitaylor I’m loving his output quality and speed. Unsure if it’s all highest impact work though? Lots of visual work. Would love to know how he’s thinking about prioritising impact

Remember when they hired that one engineer to fix search and he basically couldn’t and quit three weeks later. This is the exact opposite. @benjitaylor is on fire 🔥 when we talk about high agency people are the most valuable people, this is the poster child
