Designers need to validate their work in production just as much as engineers need to ensure their code works in production. All too often designers seem to think if they do their homework (user interviews, prototyping, usability testing...) they have solved the problem.

A big obstacle for AI when it comes to design is AI doesn't really see design - it sees code. It can take a screenshot at times, but that takes a lot of effort and regularly has suboptimal results. I asked Opus why it was missing some of my design, and here's the response

We used to do roughly two days of planning for 10 days of work. Now those 10 days can be completed in one day. Two days of planning per day of work makes planning a bottleneck. How are people using Scrum (agile) resolving this? #agile #scrum #ai

When I choose to listen to an artist on Spotify, listening to 7-9 versions of the same songs is not what I had in mind.

Dear Conversational AI, I'm here because I want a quick answer. If I wanted to read a small book, I'd get a small book. Monologues make for poor conversation. Thanks

When z-index: 2147483638 isn't enough. For the record 2,147,483,647 is the max.

@BrianNorgard @Scobleizer @NameGPTCom Do you guarantee no front running?

Finding a domain name is a nightmare. You brainstorm ideas, check availability, often for hours. So I built @NameGPTcom to fix this. NameGPT uses LLMs to generate high-quality domain ideas & instantly checks social handle availability. Try for free: namegpt.co

When the camera is off and anyone mentions developing with a model other than Opus 4.6, I'm pretty sure one of my colleagues has this reaction. Happy Friday!

I love that Debug mode in Cursor, after the issue is resolved, removes all of the extra debugging code. That saves me at least a couple of prompts.

I tried to upload text files to Copilot. I guess I'll convert my plain text files to Word or PDF 🤷‍♂️

@hnshah Yes, but I wish I hadn't 😂

Serious question: Have you logged into Google Analytics recently?

If the answer is yes, ask yourself if it could be refined to best inform yourself or others. It's good to be curious, and it's also good to make the most of the effort of others.

One of the most important questions to ask yourself before asking a question: Will the answer influence or change an approach or thinking? If the answer is no, reconsider if asking it is a good use of time.

Why do Microsoft Office/Word/Excel/Powerpoint users still email files? I don't understand. They go out of date quickly, they are harder to share, they are harder to search for, my comments and edits aren't visible to the sender... #microsoft #excel #powerpoint

I'd like a version of Lyft or Uber where a driver shows up and lets me drive to the destination, then takes their car back. Am I crazy?

@MariaTaylor You did a great job.

A moment I will never forget. Thank you to Lesley Visser for opening the door. Because of that, I’m able to step into this role today. I can’t wait to see more women in this position for years to come.

I didn't think my opinion of Epstein could get much lower, but then I saw he didn't unsubscribe from the Quora Digest.

@erickoester Then have the county prioritize those spots. He also put auto sanding and auto chains on the busses. It was only a few hundred bucks per bus. They never got stuck and never had an issue.

@erickoester My dad used to be the one who called snow days for two school districts in Western Washington. It was not uncommon for them to be the only two that didn't cancel or delay. He knew every road for every route and how it handled snow and ice. He would scout them.

The past two weeks, I’ve spent more time analyzing cloud patterns and Doppler radar than writing, working, or sleeping. Why? Because like about half the parents in the country, I’ve become obsessed with answering one question: “Will my kids go to school today… or will I be running a pop-up indoor camp again?” My new hobbies include: – Refreshing weather apps hourly – Comparing forecasts across four sources – Whispering threats at the sky – Secretly rooting for just enough snow to cancel practice but not enough to cancel school At this point, I have a better read on the jet stream than most local news stations. And yet… still not holding out hope for much outdoor soccer this weekend. But maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a full school day at least half the week? Fellow parents, how we holding up out there in weather limbo? Stay warm. Stay strong. And may your snow day snacks be plentiful.

Oooof. When you provide a long list of search filters, if you're not going to make them searchable, at least make them alphabetical. Looking at you @Yelp
