@buildwithparas or an insecurity related to ambiguity to quell

@cyanhex if someone's telling you there's only one right way, they probably have a course to sell

the people telling us we had to code or use framer / origami / etc etc etc now will tell us to use Claude like X or your process is COOKED do not listen. there are millions of ways to design/build, and ai will get better and better at honing its capabilities to work w you

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

@ridd_design 🔥🔥🔥

calm before the storm

@chrisaalid yeah, and i get it people just trying to feel like they have a handle on something very complicated / intimidating / trying to help / trying to get ahead / all of the above even me sharing how i feel is a mixture of these things

@cyanhex It’s funny how easy it is to over complicate that stuff

i procrastinated adopting what was supposedly the cracked way to design a million times only to create my own CRACKKKKED lolllll way of working I’ve done well within design too—chart your own path with an open mind to take in what helps *your* process

@benblumenrose @TonyRobbins ❤️💯💯💯💯❤️ products that truly help people resemble the healthy orgs / advisors that build them

Years back an investor friend told me he looks for “talent density” in his investments. Basically, can this founder recruit and retain the best people? Well there’s recruiting great designers/engineers... and then there’s getting @TonyRobbins to join you as a founder. That's the level of passion and depth of care Anson Whitmer and Tyler Sheaffer have brought to The Path, an AI therapy app that isn’t designed for engagement, but for care. It's available today in 50 languages, for free. Congrats on the raise and lets bring better mental health to millions across the globe! Link to app/announcement in the comments...

@soleio 💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️

A bulldozer for the mind.

@miggi @figma so helpful and powerful, ty :))

A thread of @figma agent prompt examples / screen recordings I helped bring to life to get you started on automations (with 🎵 made on my OP-XY): 🧵 1.) Explore design directions Prompt: Give me 3 style options for this design, one that's organic, one modern, and one retro.

someday, when @claudeai project breakthroughs can graduate / evolve naturally into skills is going to be wild too many dots to connect right now between paradigms / memory concepts but it’s going to get so intuitive that all these thought posts on how to build a cracked claude setup will be unnecessary

everyone is understandably and as usual trying to say what the ideal workflow is as ai takes over the reality though is that designers/engineers/etc have many different styles of working, and the tools can be used in many different ways figma will be more powerful because of this capability for your purposes, and it doesn’t stop them from also maybe going after the workflow you’re hungry for

I love figma, but that feels like the wrong direction. Figma's the best tool by far for quick ideation, it's the closest thing to a digital sketchbook. The ergonomics are just unmatched. If you opened adobe suite recently, then you know what I'm talking about. I just want to design in code as fast and effortless as I design in Figma without MCP dance or switching tools. I do hope it can clean up my design files though.

@henrymodis @DamiDina @scspeier Henry, you were a constant inspiration not only because of the craft bar you honed but because of your quiet humility around it all you helped make perplexity SO iconic in an immensely challenging and thrilling era

Last week was my final week at Perplexity. After nearly four years of full‑speed, labor‑of‑love work, I felt ready to pass the baton. I’m excited to share that @scspeier will lead the design team going forward. There are many things I’m proud of, but most of all I’m proud of the design culture at Perplexity. It fosters boldness, creativity, trust, and, most importantly, real impact. Everyone on the team lives our brand’s values, embodying curiosity and a love of learning. I have no doubt this culture will not only endure but continue to grow as the company evolves under Sebastian’s stewardship. ····

i wonder how the frontier model folks will deal w unlimited context windows someday humans don’t have unlimited memory and it’s a gift that we don’t because we aren’t paralyzed by *too much* context how will ai balance the power and the danger of unlimited memory

“The king is dead! Long live the king!”

@taamannae 🙌🙌🙌 congrats to you and the team :))))

And it's here! So much love and effort went into this from many talented people. As the founding designer, I am excited for you all to meet the agent waiting for you on the Figma canvas. Try it out and let us know how we can make it even better!

Design agents on the canvas opens up so many doors for how we design and build products. The first step is having agents that meet you where you are, and design with you. I’m so stoked for the countless of figmates who put so much into this. Over a year training our own models and hillclimbing on quality. Truly a labour of love. See you in the Beta :)

@guiseiz 🙌🙌🙌🙂

@rogie @zoink @figma 💯💯💯

@cyanhex @zoink @figma Dylan is so caring like this!

agree so hard. even on my last day @zoink dug in to understand and to support a craftsman / all the magic around him @figma is no surprise super long on figma

@luke_orb @IniAbiodun so funnnn

It's time for interfaces to break out of flat land. Lately, I have been experimenting with spatial experiences supported by foundational gestures. Truly feels magical.
