This is how you lead a startup through great design in the competitive age of AI.
I’ll ask @dbabbs about the philosophy behind this effort and more on Thursday, May 7 during our live @southpkcommons NYC Design Chat.
Event link below.

In August of last year, I was introduced to @semalkhalil via my friend @vitorialima_42. She described Semal as an incredibly talented, passionate, and interdisciplinary designer. I knew immediately I had to meet her! Fast forward 8 months, and we're so incredibly proud to have Semal as part of the @tryprofound team. The most impressive part is that she's been able to spread her attention across both product and brand design. One of the reasons the Profound brand is in such a good state is because of the work Semal's done. A truly special moment for us at Profound was our Union Square ad campaign. We lined it up with our Series C campaign so we could pair up our digital attention with some physical assets in the heart of the NYC transit system. This project was MASSIVE - more than 500 unique placements, and Semal absolutely crushed it in terms of creative direction and the execution. Thank you for everything, Semal! I'm excited to continue building this company with you! Take a look at her awesome story in our first of many in the Profound Profiles series.

Not the first time Delba has hacked Remotion before we realized how important this is.
Showing a new feature and some cool demos tomorrow!

Life update: I've joined the Claude Code team at @AnthropicAI.

what's the bizdork obsession with having people absorb each other's roles? if i had 10 people who could do the same 10 things equally well i'd still have them specialize

DESIGN: THE FIRST AI CASUALTY I'm increasingly sure that 2026 signals the end of product design as a full-fledged stand-alone function within companies. If so, it will be the first role / function to be eliminated by AI on a go-forward basis. Instead of hiring FT designers, startups are hiring / will hire design consultants to create a design system that the founder likes (this takes a few weeks max). Once the design system is finalized, PM/Eng feed it into their AI tool of choice to generate prototypes. The design system is refreshed annually by the same consultant. Larger companies will likely not backfill design roles and will do some targeted attrition to reduce the design department to 20% the size it is today. If you're a designer, I think you have two choices: 1. Become an entrepreneur: Start a design agency and become the go-to resource for design systems for startups and even larger companies. This can be a good recurring revenue business. 2. Become a builder: Add PM/Eng responsibilities to become a product builder. Would suggest you embrace this proactively vs waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm really sorry about this - some of my best friends and the people I admire most and have learnt the most from are designers - but it seems inevitable.

i use opus 4.7 for planning
composer 2 for building & iterations
codex/gpt-5.4 for hard bugs
all in @cursor_ai
Cursor@cursor_ai
Claude Opus 4.7 is now available in Cursor. We've found it to be impressively autonomous and more creative in its reasoning. We're launching it with 50% off for a limited time. Enjoy!

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.

damn @benjitaylor is a busy guy, seems that in addition to joining X he’s also Cursor’s acting head of product

Use Design Mode in Cursor 3 to annotate and target UI elements in the browser.

I turned a lot of the information and functionality from oklch fyi into a skill.
It can convert your entire project, convert individual colors, generate palettes, check contrast and more.

@kevinrose Dude. Need to get you in the compound engineering beta with -codex mode. Claude is the brain that pushes coding to Codex.

well, I just maxed out my claude max plan -- can't use it again until Tuesday, what does one do?

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@shashpicious_ X hiring one of the best designers in the world says literally nothing about the state of the industry.
English
everyone on my timeline for the past few days:
“design is dying bro”
“AI killed designers”
“figma is irrelevant now” (yeah i agree)
and then overnight…
Benji Taylor joins X as Head of Design
Elon personally welcomes him
and now it’s trending everywhere
not just design twitter
whole internet picked it up at once
same week people are writing think pieces on “end of design”
and here you have one of the most engineering-first founders
making a very visible design hire
timing is funny like that
you can keep debating narratives
or just watch where decisions are being made
and who’s being pulled in
that usually tells the real story

Claude skill #4 - makes authentically bad 90s website.
built a claude skill that generates actual 1998 geocities pages not vibes-based approximations. real animated GIFs from the internet archive, table layouts, nested tags, marquees, cursor trails, the works
catalog of ~320 real GIF hashes across 29 categories — cats, dragons, skulls, space aliens, food, flags, whatever your topic is there's GIFs for it. minimum 15 per page, iron law
works pretty well, post any you do here!
github link in replies.

if you're not building openclaw are you even really an AI company?

You can now schedule recurring cloud-based tasks on Claude Code. Set a repo (or repos), a schedule, and a prompt. Claude runs it via cloud infra on your schedule, so you don’t need to keep Claude Code running on your local machine.
