Do yourself a favor: • Open your laptop • Open YouTube • Type "UI/UX Design Basics" • Start learning • Learn about design tools like Figma and Adobe XD alongside • Ask questions to design communities or forums • Build UI/UX projects • Push your designs to platforms like Behance or Dribbble • Share your progress on 𝕏 Don't think much. This is the right time.

@meag_han_c Designers own the *what* and *why*. Design Engineers own the *how* at the system and implementation level. The confusion starts when companies use the title to cover feature delivery plus design and code.

I've heard a lot of buzz about trying to replace designers with Design Engineers and it got me thinking, what's really the difference these days?

Why is .io renewal $74 now lol what happened

@BellaBaddie__ hella good no doubt / turnstile birds

If you see this tweet please reply the last song you listened to. I’m making a playlist

TIL ‘memory developer’ = person who demonstrates household chores so AI can learn to replace them

“Why do we need a ui designer?” This is why 😭😭 :

Resend is down :z

Early in my career I joined a huge company. First week, Friday, the CEO calls: “If you want a career here, hand me a design proposal for the X project on Monday.” He was known to be unhinged.

@d_bozhinovski 🥲

How am I only just now finding out about Lucide icons (fork of Feather icons)?

On a cobweb afternoon

People still use Adobe XD 👀

Seeing so many Figma plugins with OpenAI API keys hardcoded on the client side 😢 wild.

bro its so hard to find designers that are great at the basics (sizing, spacing, typography).

Geometric vs Optical Alignment

@canva Why is app review so slow? I published a version last weekend and in these 5 work days no one has touched it. It really disincentivizes when on Figma, for example, I can push a live version anytime.
