Mon setup au bureau :
> MBP 16" M5 MAX 64GO 2TO : franchement une tuerie, l'option anti reflet sur l'écran vaut VRAIMENT le coup (même si je bosse 80% du temps en mode clamshell)
> Écran samsung odyssey 49" : je peux mettre 4 fenêtres côte à côte en simultané le gain de productivité est énorme, je ne reviendrai plus jamais en arrière
> Écran samsung 27" : basique, ça me permet d'avoir notion/Whatsapp ouvert 24/24
> Dock razer thunderbolt 5 : avec un SSD nvme 4TO intégré, un seul cable depuis mon mac pour recharger, écrans, iphone, et sauvegardes time machine automatiques dès que je le plug. Si vous voulez un setup sérieux avec un ordinateur portable c'est un MUST HAVE
> Chaise herman miller embody : j'ai une aeron à la maison et je préfère la embody par contre pro tip il faut ABSOLUMENT bien régler la tension (peu importe la chaise en fait) du dossier pour que la bascule soutienne juste assez votre dos et garde du mouvement
> Mes 2 écrans sont suspendus avec des bras ergotron : obligatoire pour faire du multi écran
> Clavier logitech MX keys S : pareil que le clavier apple mais avec plus de confort de frappe (travel time plus long)
> Souris logitech MX vertical : une bonne souris de secrétaire mais ultra opti pour l'ergonomie car ton bras reste en position de repos sans jamais pivoter, je joue même à LOL avec sans problème c'est une question d'habitude
> Cables thunderbolt 5 apple/razer

@RobertLigthart_ @claudeai Just submitting 10s or maybe 100s of prompts until everything looks right?

@ethanchen5 @claudeai For this specific component, I did everything in code / together with claude.

@michelletliu @sundaysinla Did you design everything in Figma or did you use design with some AI? Do you use AI only after everything is designed by yourself?

@diegozaks How many projects should the ideal candidate have on their portfolio? Should there detailed case studies in the portfolio or can they just be brief overviews of the feature or product that was shipped?
English

If this sounds like you, I'm hiring.

People ask me how has AI changed the design process? Just look at @tryramp Product Designer job description

@josephcohen Let's chat. Feel like I can definitely provide value!

Hello,
@X
Could you connect me to a few great Founding Product Designers? 🎨
Also open to folks who are into 0→1 product, design systems, prototyping, UX writing, motion/interaction, brand-to-product, and AI-native design workflows.
I’m building in public, learning every day, and I’d love to meet designers who like to move fast, ship often, and think like builders.
English

I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. Meet @noondesign.
No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. The very same people who care most about building software don’t have software purpose built for them. @kushagrasinha7 and I have lived this problem first hand as designers ourselves.
That’s why we built Noon. The first product design tool that works entirely on your product code, so you can design not only how a product looks, but also how it works. With AI at its core that works in seconds, not minutes.
For the first time, you can create, iterate, build, test and ship. All in one canvas. No translations or roundtrips to the codebase and back.
Comment “Get Noon” and we’ll get you on the list for early access.

Claude@claudeai
Computer use is now in Claude Code. Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI. Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans.

@_kenfernando @michalmalewicz I’m still learning, which is why I have a lot of questions hahah

I work directly in Claude with engineers. I even think having separate Ai design software is redundant.
I’ve been a PD for 9 years here in nyc and worked in everything from photoshop, sketch, to Figma and this is the future of the industry. Roles will converge with little separation from engineering and design.
I’m simplifying but workflow looks something like
> Prompt multiple user flows, decide with team/client what works best.
> Perfect UI and adjust UX if needed on selected flow.
> No need to manage separate files, component or design libraries, production velocity increases 10x

I went into Google Stitch and looked around.
This is NOT replacing designers. It's like saying downloading a figma UI kit will replace designers.
You can already prompt AI to do stuff in regular design tools.
But if you don't have taste, you end up with the inflated median, not quality product. It's an average of an average of an average. Safe, but boring and predictable.
And to make anything good here it's waiting for your input. If you don't have the eye for design, your input won't help.
AI won't be able to make anything beyond a template.
We had those since 2005 on TemplateMonster.
This is the same recycling of average ideas, now with a prompt box as input.
But this is meaningful for another reason. It's making non-skilled people believe they have skills, which will mean that the median will get even more inflated.
We won't get as many utterly horrible sites, but also not many actually great ones.
So bottom line: designers are not cooked.
If you have no idea what you're doing no AI will make your work great.
It will just help you reach mediocrity faster.

@_kenfernando @michalmalewicz As for the user research and problem definition part, is that all done in Google Docs or a Notion Document?
English

@_kenfernando @michalmalewicz Would you say that the design system and component libraries are all managed within Claude?
English

@_kenfernando @michalmalewicz Do you perfect UI and adjust UX in Claude as well? Or do you send it to Figma to then adjust the pixels?
