This is just a reminder about all the stuff you did and learnt over the last 3 months. Remember how you couldn't make sense of it back then? Look at you go.

@kenwheeler great long-term strategy for ultimately failing your investors but with the best PR getting you there "guys you don't actually want immortality, you need love"

i honestly love how this dude did all this weird shit to live forever and then found love and went into nature and is just discovering that true wellness is free and just there and we all ignore it chasing dumb shit.

@danieldelcore i also don't enjoy eating green wood

The colder months of the year are depressing enough, then they wheel-out the shepherd avocados

If your startup does not have a UUID microservice you’re ngmi

normal people: i like hanging out with my friends startup people: bullish on irl communities in the ai era

@lifeoftheshat sounds interesting, good intersection with @build_aus ?

australia doesn't have a talent problem. to prove it, we started a public directory of the people creating in aus ↓

On this day 13 years ago, Vine user Ryan McHenry began uploading a series of videos titled "Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal."

Eyyyy was wondering where he got to. Count: 5. No more "See less often" option anymore. At least they're honest with themselves.

Ok at least it's not a notification, but guess who popped up in my For You feed? Still not followed. Still clicking "see less often".

I don't follow this guy but i get notifications about him. We probably follow the same people and tweet about some similar stuff stuff. I have no doubt that he pays for this reach to some extent. This internet sucks.

@jameygannon the best idea you can present to a client is their idea. Mood boards will give you that concept demos give you "no not like this"

the moodboarding process is psychological

@chalaska hi! exploring how AI and Design Systems intersect

Genuinely curious, how many Aussie designers, founders and builders are here on X? Wanting to connect with you all!

I spent too much time on this: CLARK: My contention is that with Claude’s new design tool, Figma has essentially been rendered obsolete, the canvas-based paradigm is most aptly characterized as a legacy artifact from the era before models could generate production-ready interfaces from inten— WILL: [interrupting] Of course that’s your contention. You’ve never shipped anything and just watched the launch video twice. You just got finished reading some hot take, probably a Twitter thread or whoever’s got a Substack this week, and you’re gonna be convinced Figma’s dead until next month when you actually try to iterate on a flow and realize “regenerate” isn’t the same as “nudge this four pixels.” Then you’re gonna pivot to talking about how the canvas was always just a lossy interface for intent. That’s gonna last until next year when you’re in here regurgitating some take about how design tools are collapsing into a single agentic surface, you know, the post-craft utopia and the disintermediation of taste by foundation models. CLARK: [taken aback] Well as a matter of fact I won’t, because generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas in the first pla— WILL: “Generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas, especially as models get better at reasoning about layout and hierarchy…” You got that from that Figma-is-dead thread, right? The one that went viral last week. Yeah, I read it too. You gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us, or you have any thoughts — of your own — on this? Or is that your thing, you come into a bar, you skim some trending tweets over lunch and you pawn it off as your own idea to impress some founders, embarrass my friend? [Clark is stunned] WILL: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in about fifty product cycles you’re gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you’re gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in building things. One: don’t pick a side in a tool war you’re not actually building in. And two: the people shipping right now are using Claude and Figma and Claude Code before you’ve finished writing your LinkedIn post about which one won. CLARK: Yeah, well I’ll have Claude build my whole product stack, and you’ll still be pushing rectangles around in Figma. WILL: [smiles] Yeah, maybe. But at least I’ll still know how to think when the model’s wrong.

after a great deal of trial and error, diverse projects and tasks, and evaluating all new hotness, i’ve come to the conclusion that the best way of agentic coding is keeping it ridiculously simple. and anyone saying otherwise is selling something, grifting or dumb. or all 3.

@levelsio @barad Nah different concepts. Ive’s call with knobs is common sense.

There has to be some word for this concept It's why designers from tech who design touchscreens like Jony Ive won't put a touch screen in a car but use real knobs Or why programmers don't actually like smart homes and smart appliances at all but want things analog Or why tech people raise their kids without mobile devices Like knowing things so well from inside of it (tech) that you choose to NOT use it because you know the negatives that come with it in specific contexts

my entire feed is just

Jevons paradox is happening in real time. Companies, especially outside of tech, are realizing that they can now afford to take on software projects that they wouldn’t have been able to tackle before because now AI lets them do so. We’re going to start to use software for all new things in the economy because it’s incrementally cheaper to produce. Marketing teams at big companies will have engineers helping to automate workflows. Engineers in life sciences and healthcare will automate research. Small businesses will hire engineers for the first to build better digital experiences. And as long as AI agents still require a human who understands what to prompt, how to review when an agent goes off the rails, how it guide back, how to maintain the system that was built, how to fix the ongoing bugs, and more, we will still have humans managing these agents. This is why all the advice you get of not going into engineering is wrong. The world is going to increasingly be made up of software, and the people that understand it best will be in a strong economic position. This will happen in other roles as well where output goes up and demand increases.

@danieldelcore my neuro-adblock managed to completely ignore everything but the headline. Humans will win.

The average web user's experience. (After I closed the pop-up)

AI is gonna take your job and your girl.

you mean Aussie Intelligence you mean Large Larrakin Models you mean Chat GdayPT

My favorite thing bout Claude thus far is I have apparently put off learning React long enough that it doesn't matter.

louder for the people in the back
