Kanso (簡素): what you remove matters more than what you add. LLM code is 2.2x more verbose than human. Tautological comments in 90-100% of AI repos. Six Claude Code skills to fight it: audit, refactor, commit, PR, context, principles. github.com/blakecyze/kanso

@buildwithsid you sneaky :) (very slick tho!)

updated my portfolio website my cleanest design yet 👀

@franceszhao_ Making it easy for people to scan / skim your work. If folks visit your page, it looks bland / uninspired, and they can’t immediately look at your work to get a quick sense of your worth. Odds are they’ll leave really quickly.

open forum !! curious what you all think is most important in a ui/ux product design portfolio these days, is it case studies? output? or others

@morganlinton I am in a very similar boat. None of them interact with me. I suspect that it is because I am blue.

It’s kinda weird, people from Cursor, Claude, Droid, Grok Build, and just about every other agentic coding tool seem to interact with me on X. But for some reason, the Codex team doesn’t, and when I comment on their tweets, or tweet to them they always ignore me. So odd because I have publicly shared so many times that Codex is my daily driver and the agentic coding tool I’m the most fanatical about. Moved our whole engineering team off of Claude Code and onto Codex, love it so much. Not quite sure what I did, but would love to interact with people like @thsottiaux, @ajambrosino and @jxnlco - honestly, they’re like my heroes! But for some reason they never interact with me 😢 What did I do guys?

wanted to do a shoutout for some builders, designers and founders i think are worth connecting with: @aaronmahlke @tomhaerter @hugorcd @zzzzshawn @grimcodes @verycracked @pizzaboy @therealoliulv @aminegrows @siyabuilt @dominikkoch @jonahseguin @barre_of_lube @artfreebrey @GeorgeJeffersn @madster @chribjel @initjean @a_rebets in no particular order and sorry if i missed you off ly all. post inspired by @sandislonjsak

@fiof_25 Love it, your individual project pages are especially gorgeous!!

my new portfolio just dropped! come pay a visit - link below! (ps. looking for F26 internships!!)

Just a few more gradients made using my free OKLCH gradient generator... gunnin' for a release this week, though who knows 😄

@hrdktwt Where do you look for hackathons? I’ve done a few… but one of them ended up being fake so I made modelbench.app for nothing LOL

it's lowkey time to start hackathonmaxxing again

@rileycx "Product Chef," "UI Chef," perhaps even... "Chef Engineer." Yeah, I like this.

changing all designer titles to chef, effective immediately

@sflorimm Product engineer, not a designer- but always looking to grow. Would mean a great deal to me if you were to take a look and provide some feedback cyze.dev

Looking to follow more product designers that actually share real work. Drop your portfolio, recent UI, case study, Figma shot, or any cool tool you’ve built below.

@leerob @uwunetes @cursor_ai Dang... literally just paid- I should have tried this 🤣

@uwunetes @cursor_ai I got you, sending credits your way! Check your DM.

I want that new @cursor_ai model but I don't have $20 </3

@GrizzShutsDown Slick- and I love the bookshelf! Great taste 😁

Finally back with an updated site, check it out. grizz.fyi

Further progress on my free OKLCH gradient tool. Nothing makes me happier than just tinkering away...

@mikesmith187 Forgot I can’t edit tweets… vj-type.com/collections/vo… pangrampangram.com/products/eiko

@mikesmith187 nan.xyz/fonts/nan-trag…

Type Twitter: I'm looking for something so unbelievably specifc and I'm having trouble finding anything that fits. Do any of you know of a super thick retro feeling typeface that is A SERIF version. I can find plenty of chunky retro sans but no serifs. Open to a flare too! THX!!

@aaliyahvtuber_ Always forgive yourself so long as you can grow.

I’m 23 now please give me advice if you’re older than me. I don’t care where you are from. Life advice, just one.

@darylginn “Which one is better?” [design they clearly spent 4 hours refining] [same design, but one random button is huge and red]

The worst thing about X is average designers talking like they are experts because it gets engagement.

@ryolu_ I love Claude Code’s agent workflow, but Cursor’s IDE integration keeps tempting me back. For someone considering the jump, how would you approach moving from Claude Code to modern Cursor without getting wrecked by cost or workflow friction?

i now use: Composer 2.5 for planning Composer 2.5 for building & iterations Composer 2.5 for debugging a great all-rounder, especially for UI work – gets you in flow with Design Mode in Cursor
