thano

The Hermes Agent update you've been waiting for is here.

internetVin-terminal: an embedded terminal plugin for Obsidian new semi-daily subscriber only post 944 words on its functionality and my use: ↳ releasing custom Obsidian plugins and how publishing code feels more like conversation than product now ↳ multi-tab terminal sessions inside Obsidian ↳ autocompleting vault backlinks directly in the terminal with "[[" ↳ drag and drop files, including screenshots, into terminal sessions as context ↳ fullscreen and split views for running multiple Claude Code sessions ↳ theme sync that reads Obsidian's CSS variables at runtime ↳ bookmarking positions in terminal output so you can jump back to key references ↳ saving terminal output directly to daily notes or new notes ↳ building all software from inside Obsidian, not just working on notes ↳ a preview of Vault Pulse, a plugin for passively tracking time in Obsidian

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

I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process. That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally. One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

I need a GitHub too! Is it like that or nah?

4/ Design roles have plateaued Unlike PM and engineering, open design jobs have been relatively flat since early 2023, and there are also fewer of these roles than PMs and engineers in absolute terms (about 5,700 globally).
