@aarushe_reddy @DamiDina If you build for yourself, you will always achieve relevance.
English
insane time to build in tech:
-option to build anything
-vibe code experiments no one will ever use
-go viral on the right TLs
-get hired to build for millions of actual users
unreal arc and probably the first time ever, when the product utility has no impact on its relevance
English
@_nonfigurativ_ Whenever I see a design tool in the middle of an AI workflow, the analogy that pops in my head:
Translating from Spanish to Chinese by translating Spanish to English to Chinese.
Sure, it's great to know English.
But did you really need it in the middle?

Question: why would one need to vibecode a design file representing a web page when one could just vibecode the webpage?
Orin@orinfitzgerald
okay guys @framer + @claudeai is scaring me... 1. uploaded 92+ hours of tutorials to knowledge[.]md > it's a framer expert now 2. fed it high quality visual refs + extracted design taste > it's also a visual design expert now and rn, it just built me this website. wtf?

Apple App Store review times seem to be slipping back to the original iPhone era, when it took closer to a week than 2-3 days for review.
Prediction: An App Review agent in Xcode that pre-reviews apps prior to submission.
English
@ReleaseMyApp8 @elonmusk @Grokipedia @xai I’m just pausing on the Safari extension, got other apps cooking. Maybe someday @Grokipedia will let me use their name in the app description, but until then, I’ll move onto other projects.
Thanks for checking!
English
@ntfromchicago @elonmusk @Grokipedia @xai that's a tough spot, apple's being strict on third party mentions in metadata. before resubmit, we actually built a tool that scans for these rejection triggers so you catch em early. what's your next move on the wording?
English
Hi @elonmusk! Apple rejected my iOS/Mac app that auto forwards wiki pages to @Grokipedia. Apple says I can't say Grokipedia in the app info (I don't imply any endorsement by @xai). Can you OK use of the word Grokipedia and my screen shot of the AI page? Happy to send more info.
English
@DanGrover @DamiDina You fix this with a shared design component library that ships to prod, and a commitment from your dev team to never use prototype code in prod, but instead refer to the library for SoT design.
English
Biggest gap I've seen with "prototypes as PRDs" idea in practice so far (vs figma mocks) is that I haven't seen any teammate make any entirely slopless prototype. If you are giving an artifact to engineers, it needs to be perfect, because things will only degrade from there.
English
@ibuildthecloud @DamiDina LOL you’ll be using that web page, for what, 5 seconds max? You’ll be using that MBP for at least two years if not more.
That said, if that web page stops you from buying, then sure, Apple needs to step up its “luxury” web site game 🙄.
English
Can you believe this? This is a screen from Apple's website. It's like AI designed this. The soul of Apple is gone. This is not a luxury product.
English
@DamiDina @justinskycak I actually don’t believe in tech debt.
The reality? A team ships 💩 code that, amazingly, still works despite the 💩.
Every time they ship after that, without fixing 💩? That’s the team’s CHOICE to re-ship 💩 code.
That’s not debt. That’s the team’s standard for code quality.
English
Pure vibe coding is a Ponzi scheme. Eventually, the technical debt comes due, and if you don't understand the foundations, you can't pay it off.
English
In my work, Claude feels like a full timer on staff, and Codex feels like a freelance programmer. They both get the job done buuut…

@TheWorthyHouse Congrats on your victory!
Sent from my Apple Vision Pro
English
Total Haywood Victory! And I note that the comments on this year-old post echo those on my post yesterday on "AI." Luddite! You don't understand Vision Pro is the future! The desire for a substitute religion is strong.
Charles Haywood@TheWorthyHouse
This is all ludicrous cope, to obscure the fact that the Vision Pro does nothing special and will soon be forgotten as a failure, another example of decadence (that we cannot do anything new that is worth anything). "The world's largest calculator"?! Please.
English
@shakoistsLog @DamiDina The days of large dev teams are over. I’m seeing lots of productivity leverage from 1-2 person teams. I think the new “large team” is closer to 10 than even 100 or 1,000, thanks to AI-assisted coding.
English
This 💯!!!
Code is code. Designers, you are prototyping design concepts or producing production design, but most important, you are problem solving with visual design.
Designers (and everyone else), you are way more valuable to the product process than the word “vibe” suggests.
luis.@disco_lu
I'm begging designers to stop using the word "vibe" Code is code, and softening your impact with words will put you in the same "seat at the table" discussion we moved past a few years ago It also assumes that code written by hand before this moment was written well 🤪
English
I don’t think AI is lowering the barrier to entry as much as it is giving the very smartest people an even more enormous advantage.
English
@felixleezd The gap will always exist because the definition of “great design” is subjective and changes over time. Training data will have to be opinionated and curated by humans, not amalgamated.
Amalgamated data will worsen taste, because it’ll revert to the mean.
English
Unpopular opinion but, taste is not the moat in AI. Designers keep treating it like an irreplaceable skill. But taste is pattern recognition (“intuition”) of great work.
The gap between “AI slop” and “great design” is closing every month.
This is for what’s worth.
English
@aleabitoreddit Is it irrational? GAAP net loss per share is 0.21. U is now same price level as 2024. Subpar management. What is the story that brings U back to $40?
English
@mikelikesdesign This is really cool! For usability, would it be better to make the actively selected option visible above the wheel, so your thumb doesn’t block the selected icon?
Not a criticism of the implementation. Just a thought while watching the demo.
English
@mschoening Creativity and taste are not moats. They're differentiators.
ALL AI models have taste. But since most train on amalgamated vs. curated design, taste reverts to the mean.
Infinite minds make taste worse! A selective, opinionated training set is the cure. Quality not quantity.
English
I don’t understand why people say creativity and taste is now the moat.
Yes, models don’t have taste. Although, who knows for how long.
But, are you saying that you as a business are more creative and have more taste than any one individual armed with infinite engineering minds?
Look at how creative and weird the OpenClaw community is. Good luck beating them over and over and over again.
You need an architecture of participation. Invite the collective to build with you…
