We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back). We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize. This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

startup life: building the plane while flying it.

I think coding is slowly killing my design taste. ever since I started spending more time inside IDEs, something’s shifted in my brain. earlier, my default mode was pure design, obsessing over spacing, micro-interactions, tiny details that no one notices but everyone feels. now I start with constraints. scalability, edge cases, timelines, dev effort. “can we build this?” shows up way before “does this feel right?” and the weird part is I still see everything. I know when something feels off, when it could be pushed further, when it lacks that sharpness. I just… don’t go there anymore. I cut iterations faster. I compromise earlier. I settle for “this works” instead of “this feels right.” I think being close to code rewires you. you start filtering ideas through feasibility, and slowly, taste takes a backseat to practicality. craft gets replaced by closure. and it’s such a silent shift you don’t even realise it’s happening. is this growth or is this how designers slowly lose their edge without even noticing it ?
