Super proud to finally share Chief with the world.
It’s been a crazy few months, but the product is something me and the guys are extremely proud of. Excited for everyone to see what we’ve been building.
I'll be posting some of my fav parts of what we have crafted so far!

Been buzzing the last 3 weeks. Got stuck in on day 1 building with the team at @AirOpsHQ!
Thank you, you legend @ridd_design, for connection. 🔥
Huge shout out to @DannyFMartinez, @ehandscombe and @CharchrisSloan for creating Decimals. Easily one of my best projects ever!

@joshpuckett @austin_rief Come for the design advice, stay for the triathlon advice 😍
English
practice your transitions.
do a full swim/bike/run Olympic or test before if you can.
start fueling your practices like you will your race.
create and stick to your fueling plan; more carbs/sodium is better than less as a default.
vaseline/bodyglide on neck, ankles, and wrists for wetsuite.
get as many open water swims in as you can; night and day different than the pool.
Good luck!

I'm 91 days out from my first Ironman 70.3.
Anyone have any tips?
And if anyone in NYC wants to train together, shoot me a DM.

Claude is every business’ competitor atp 😅

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude. Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.

The advantage of knowing what you're actually talking about.
"Sometimes I say things like 'use our tertiary button styles but extrapolate the inner shadows to make them higher contrast for this large card' and it freaking works"
Meanwhile I'm 13 prompts in hammering some nonsense prompt about the shadows not feeling quite right and asking claude to work out how a real designer would approach this...
English
there's one element of my design workflow today that I definitely did not see coming...
a year ago I thought I would be making a (functional) mess in code and then dialing in the details in Figma
turns out the opposite thing happened?
instead I typically start by ideating with Claude inside of @paper
maybe I'll make some manual tweaks but more often I'm simply getting to a rough concept that feels directional correct
the canvas has become my whiteboard
and the output is rarely any higher fidelity than the example video above 🤷♂️
at this point I have Claude quickly scaffold the concept I like the most and start to dial in the details in code
two tools I use constantly:
1) Agentation
2) DialKit
that combo move speeds up frontend iteration immensely
also Claude is SO good at extrapolating styles. Sometimes I say things like "use our tertiary button styles but extrapolate the inner shadows to make them higher contrast for this large card" and it freaking works
not only that but the way I use inner shadows, border rings, etc. takes forever to create manually (or forever to create a system large enough to not be rigid in Figma).
I'm genuinely faster in code which I never saw coming.
dialing in the visuals in code also brings motion and interaction details into the process.
how things move and feel is now 100% included in "UX Design"
finessing in code gives me wayyy more control than I've ever had as a designer
English
@jameygannon Makes total sense that this is happening. Job market is so noisy - everything now leaning heavily to network and intro's.
English
Despite what anyone says designers are in fact not cooked.
Good designers are in such high demand right now that companies are applying to interview with them, totally inverting the current hiring process!!
This is exactly how things work on Decimals and that's why I joined as a design scout ↓
I want to help the incredible designers in my network get hired at top-tier companies (pretty much every hot start-up rn)
Decimals will match you to jobs that make sense, without you having to send in application after application, and ensures every company is an organization that actually values design thinking and talent. Aka no spam or flaky founders.
It's invite-only and they're selective, but if your portfolio holds up you'll hear back.
They need all types of designers rn but brand designers especially. If you're doing identity work, visual systems, brand strategy for startups — there are multiple companies actively looking for exactly that.

@frenjason Wow, nice. Feels like it would be epic in AR with a humanoid assistant.

Clicky inspired me to share This.
This is a new way to interact with Claude Code. Just point and speak. I use it all the time. It’s also open source.
Farza 🇵🇰🇺🇸@FarzaTV
I built this thing called Clicky. It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor. It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you. I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

Bullish! Inbound recruiting is likely collapsing though. No signal in the noise of 1000s well polished AI applications.
Winning combo is authentic outbound directly from accounts of execs/hiring managers + a short paid work trial.

Demand for recruiters is surging The number of open recruiter roles is almost back to 2022 peak levels. This role got hit the hardest post-Covid, and also recovered the quickest. By definition, recruiting headcount expands and contracts with hiring demand, so it’s likely a leading indication that we’re tracking toward sustained highs in hiring demand in tech.

STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026 In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends: 1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years 2. AI hasn’t slowed the demand for software engineers (at least not yet) 3. AI roles in general are absolutely exploding 4. Design roles have plateaued 5. The Bay Area is increasing in importance 6. Remote work opportunities continue to decline 7. Despite ongoing layoffs, the overall number of tech jobs continues to grow More in 🧵

@ridd_design @joshpuckett That was an incredible watch. Amazing to see what can be created with expert eng knowledge + the full AI stack for broad exploration and going deep on the details 🤯
English
what does it look like to demonstrate uncommon care when crafting an interface?
that's what today's episode with @joshpuckett is all about...
it's a masterclass in using AI to sweat the design/engineering details 👇

Slack/Discord were built for humans messaging humans. That era is ending.
We’ve been quietly building @typedotcom: agent-native team chat.
> 1-click OpenClaws that collaborate with your team
> UX for agents: tool calls, sessions, streaming
> Interactive UI built on the fly

> "I'll have your agent talk to my agent"
Maybe more like “I’ll have your human talk with my human”
Brandon Gell@bran_don_gell
I'm now 100% convinced: independent app UIs are dead. In 2-3 years, everyone will work directly with their personal agent in whatever app they already live in (for me: iMessages and Discord) and those agents will work with other services. Right now it's clunky and slow. Agents use a mix of APIs (often incomplete), MCPs (not fully capable), or browser automation (slow, breaks constantly). But even with these limitations, what I've built with my personal AI agent has convinced me. This is the future. Some predictions: 1. Apple will put Siri in the messages app. Short horizon tasks are great for voice. But long horizon tasks (book this reservation, add it to my cal, invite my wife and sister and brother in law) require chat. 2. Apple has the biggest opportunity here and will probably bungle it. If your agent can't do 100% of things, it can do 0% of things. For security and control reasons Apple won't go all in. A single paper cut will make people abandon it. 3. Single agent with subagents is the way to go. You'll never go to a specialized agent directly. Companies over-complicating this with "agent armies" are missing the point. 4. Someone independent will (hopefully) nail this for the masses — not Apple or Google or Anthropic or OpenAI, though they will all try. The winner needs to be platform-agnostic. 5. "I'll have your agent talk to my agent" will become completely normal. Especially at work. 6. Computer errands will be done entirely in messages. I'm already living this: sending money, adding items to my Whole Foods cart, booking reservations, searching email, managing inbox by phone call. The @every team and I are living 3 years in the future right now but it feels like the rest of the world is catching up.

@IniAbiodun @joshpuckett So much playfulness and delight 🫶

I already know every step of the way with @joshpuckett’s interfacecraft.dev, I’ll be saying “Damn”.
Watch till the end. Can’t wait to dig in.
