Figma AI looks rather heavily trained on existing apps. This is a "weather app" using the new Make Designs feature and the results are basically Apple's Weather app (left). Tried three times, same results.

@jesseddy Wowzer! I’d definitely try to use it in the future!

I have a template that I use when mentoring someone. The template outlines the responsibilities of their current role and their potential future role. I use yellow stickies to keep track of efforts that support those responsibilities. I am thinking of creating a template for the @figma community. Would you be interested in using it? You're fortunate if you have a great manager who keeps track of your accomplishments. Ultimately, though we are our biggest advocates. No one else will put as much effort into our growth as we will. That's why I think it's essential that we track our accomplishments ourselves and not rely on others to do it for us. What do you think?

@dominosebastian @lorvsso Severance was interesting, kinda disturbing. I'd recommend Black Bird, Pachinko and Bad Sisters

@lorvsso Echoing most of the replies, Severance was great. I also really enjoyed the film Swan Song (nuanced and different take on AI taking over humanity) and more recently Platonic has been a salve. I had no idea Rose Byrne had such good comedic timing

@heykina @AnnieDuke Ooo! Thank you! :)

@jessmtong I quite enjoyed Quit by @AnnieDuke 😃 audible.com/pd?asin=B09Z4W…

Any good Audible recommendations? My membership is expiring soon and I have a few credits to use up

Would highly recommend everyone to watch Jonah Hill’s new documentary “Stutz”. A heartfelt and personal way of looking at therapy. Incredibly moving.

@steveathon Congrats!

Cat is out of bag, can confirm I have rejoined @atlassian as a Foundation Director, love this team- thankful for the opportunity here and working across @pledgeone community again!

If you keep doing what you are about to do today for the next five years, will you end up with more of what you want or less of what you want?

In 1995, 14 wolves were released into the wild in Yellowstone National Park. Scientists at the time did not suspect that this would radically change the entire ecosystem of the park. 1/n

@phillfarrugia Ooft. Sounds like that might lead to a headache 😵‍💫

@jessmtong me wondering why I ground my teeth when I drank so much coffee yesterday

Got to stop making massive batches of filter coffee and wondering why I feel anxious af all day

Does being in an office where windows don’t open up make people sleepy?

Every time my dog farts, the wifi cuts out. Correlation or causation?

1/ A decade ago, one of my best friends took over his family's electrical business and worked 6 days a week to grow the company. He recently achieved a generational wealth level exit. He told me a story once that helped me understand how his family achieved such success.

other people: takes a sick day, does relaxing things me: takes a sick day, googles what sick people do on a day off, lies in bed wide awake for hours, paces anxiously back and forth trying to not do strenuous exercise thinking about how the day is a wasted day

if you join a startup and everything looks like a mess, what's not useful is pointing out all of the messes as if the very smart people who joined before you don't see them. 9/10 they do.
