Welp, published my first Chrome extension late last night...It's called Vibe Check...and it's for people vibe coding websites or apps...and need feedback on your #UI. Vibe code. Scan screen w/ #AI. Get feedback. Copy suggested prompt to improve design. tinyurl.com/2m53ryes

@jonedmiston There are levels to our office consumption of La Croix. Some of us merely like it… Then there’s Panha. 😂

Our team might have a La Croix problem.

@AdamFard_ Heyyyy

if you're a designer/product designer or vibe coder and use Design Systems reply and I have something for you 👀

Got it right with Paper in about 3 prompts. Saw progress in canvas in real time. Took about 2-3 minutes. Used Figma with 1 prompt...took about 7-8 minutes of just waiting and staring at a blank canvas. Gave up after. Bottom Line: Paper seems to be a better Claude Code xp.

Tried out Claude Code with Paper vs. Figma. Very simple build with two components. Paper: had to prompt a couple times to get it right. Maybe ~2-3k tokens. Figma: only prompted once, would need to do it a couple more times. Couldn't use the right font and icons. ~17k tokens.

Unbelievable, crazy, holy moly, wowsers! @figma doesn’t have usage limits. Claude Design is soooOooOoo cooked. #reversecooking

👀👀

POV: Everybody in tech right now

Yo @figma, something wonky going on with your assets detail panel UI. Noticed in my Windows desktop app, but it appears to do it on web as well. I turned off the fixed-width attribute, and it seemed to fix it.

@opalapp unhinged…and I love it. lolll

@ryolu_ 💯

when software had a soul there was a moment around 2005 when using a Mac felt like touching something alive. the dock bounced. the genie effect swooped. exposé scattered your windows like cards on a table. none of it was strictly necessary. all of it felt like someone cared – not about metrics, but about the feeling of using a machine. software back then had texture. it had a philosophy. you could feel the person behind it. someone made a decision to make that icon beautiful, to animate that transition just so, to write that error message with a little warmth. apps had personalities. some were weird. some were over-designed in ways that would make a modern PM flinch. but they were alive. the web was the same. personal sites were genuinely personal. blogs felt like letters. forums had regulars. you knew who made what. the internet had neighborhoods, and each one felt different. nothing was optimized for scale. things were made by people who loved what they were making. somewhere along the way, we traded all of that for growth. A/B tests flattened the edges. design systems standardized the personality out. everything got faster, smoother, more consistent – and somehow less interesting. the quirks were removed because they didn't test well. the warmth got cut because it wasn't measurable. we optimized our way into a world of things that work perfectly and feel like nothing. now every app looks the same. every interface follows the same patterns. every product speaks in the same calm, frictionless voice, siloed in their own little islands. the humanity got rounded off. and then came AI agents. and the speed got inhuman. now you can generate an entire product in an afternoon. ship a feature before lunch. spin up ten variations before anyone's had their coffee. the gap from idea to code is basically zero. which sounds incredible. and it is. but there's a catch. when making things are too easy, the slop comes for free too. mediocre things don't look obviously bad – they look fine. they work. they ship. they pass review. and now there are infinite of them. the internet is filling up with software that functions but means nothing. interfaces that are correct but feel dead. products made by agents, reviewed by no one, shipped into the void. this is the thing that keeps me up at night. not that AI will replace people who care. but that it will drown them out. here's what I still believe: the best things are made by people who couldn't help themselves. someone who lost sleep over an icon. who rewrote the same line of copy twelve times. who added an animation nobody asked for because it made the thing feel right. that obsession – that's not inefficiency. that's the whole point. AI doesn't make that irrelevant. it actually makes it rarer and more valuable. taste is not a markdown skill. caring is not a parameter. the weird, specific, "soul" thing you put into something – that can't be programmed into existence. the path forward isn't to make more slop faster. it's to finally give people with real vision the tools to make the thing they always imagined but couldn't build alone. the designer who had the idea but couldn't code. the kid who saw something nobody else saw. the person who cared too much about something most people wouldn't notice. if we get this right, we don't get a faster factory. we get a renaissance. more strange, personal, opinionated software made by teams of people who care and mean it. that's still possible. but only if the people who care get the space and tools to actually express themselves – and don't just hand the wheel to the agent and walk away.

@BrettFromDJ It would be funny if it wasn’t so shameful.

This form of stealing work is out of hand. Here’s how they do it: They’ll post the work of someone else without crediting the originating source in the first tweet. They think they save themselves by hiding the credit in the comments, knowing most won’t see it. But when someone comments praising them for the work, they’ll say “thanks” despite the fact it’s not even theirs. These posts are literally EVERYWHERE right now.

@chicagobulls “Detrimental”? For real? Y’all are cowardly and disgraceful.

AI is pumping the assumption in dev/design that speed is king. I wonder what is sacrificed in that pursuit…technically, but also in character and team formation…? 🤔 #ai

I enjoy vibe coding...but man, it can be hard to ensure what's being outputted is actually user-friendly...especially if you're trying to move fast. What have y'all found are your biggest challenges for implementing good design while vibe coding? #vibecoding #ai #design

@GoogleAIStudio Gonna work more on my Chrome extension to help vibe coders who need a little design feedback and guidance. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gdkplae…

what's everyone vibe coding this weekend?

@_desaina Good approach!

@joelnevius Yes, based on answers, I think I'm going to stick to my own process, and learn building with AI in my free time.

Am I considered being behind for not using AI in my designs except image and text generation? Like, I want to do smth fun with Claude Code or Figma Make... But do I HAVE to?

@dannyjpwilliams For clicking and praying the right thing happens.

Be honest... does anyone actually know what these do?

@stephenhaney @mathurahravi Really cool!

Stay ahead Today we're announcing Paper Snapshot Snapshot your live website and paste it into Paper as editable layers • start from your real site • no more screenshots • uses real html/css What will you make? Link in replies 🎶

@ansubkhan lol

a moment of silence for people who thinks this will replace designers 😂
