the vibe coded UI stuff is impressive but I think history is going to look back on it like we look back on this 'corporate memphis' style

Considering how much I dislike Figma, I don't know why I never considered shorting it. I could have retired off this one trade. (Down 80% since IPO last year.)

Design bootcamps are scams. $15,000 to learn Figma? YouTube is free. What bootcamps don't teach: - Business - Psychology - Communication - Thinking You can't teach thinking in 12 weeks. The best designers I know are self-taught.

@AlexAperios One of the strangest things is when a brand team only provides a presentation pdf, the logo, and none of the actual source or hi-res assets. It's like they forgot what a brand project is.

Working on a brand identity right now and I'm already thinking past the finish line. Most designers hand over a folder of logos and call it done. The brand looks great on the case study. Then the client makes a PowerPoint and it's gone. The real work is making sure they can run with it. I give clients: → Loom walkthroughs of the brand system → Figma templates built for their workflow → Deck stacks they can open tomorrow → Canva assets for the team who'll never open Figma A brand only works if the people using it feel confident. That's part of our job too!

I've been saying this for years. Hardly anyone agreed with me. In fact, they tried to cancel me (lol) because I said real designers code. Designing in code is superior because you're working with real constraints. So you can actually benchmark your work in realtime.

Product designers, stop looking for a canvas. Design directly in code. No middleman, no handoff, no missing states, no broken styles. Just exactly what you envision, in the real app.

I’m a designer, and I built this feature end to end in 1.5 weeks, from design to development, using AI the whole way. I didn’t even touch Figma. A few takeaways from this process: AI is incredible. For the first time in my career, I don’t have a middleman between the idea in my head and the final result. I can design things the way I want and deliver the quality I need. No more endless back and forth with developers over small visual fixes, missing states, or tiny UI details. I’m honestly so excited about this technology that I want to stop people on the street and talk about Codex. Yes, I use Codex. Its UI output is not great, but that doesn’t really matter for me. I design the UI myself from scratch anyway. Whether AI produces complete garbage or slightly better garbage is not the point, because my goal is still to make it perfect. I expect to adjust it heavily either way. When I work on a feature, I usually start in Plan mode. Since I’m not an engineer, I try to go deeper into the architecture, ask AI a lot of basic questions, and sometimes verify things with our developers. After a few rounds of planning, I move into implementation. To avoid silly mistakes and code style issues, our developers maintain an Agents.md file and a set of skills that help a lot. The first result usually has weak UI, but it can already be a very useful prototype. At that stage, I focus less on polish and more on UX: the flow, the behavior, and the overall logic of the feature. During that process, I try to give AI more “vision” so it can work more independently. I let it run tests, build the app, read dev server logs, and even check behavior in the browser using agent-browser CLI. It can literally open the app, click through it, and reproduce scenarios on its own to verify that things work. Once the architecture is in place, I move into UI polish step by step. That usually means very specific requests like: increase the margin to 4px, change the font size to 16px, add opacity to this container, and so on. At this stage, I rely heavily on React Grab, which lets me select an element in the browser and get its file path, so AI spends less time searching and more time fixing. One more really useful AI workflow: while working on our Style Guide feature, I needed to adjust design tokens across more than 200 components. Checking how those tokens behave across so many components would be painful in any tool, even in Figma. So I asked AI to build a temporary page inside our app with a canvas that displayed all components, grouped by category, with different prop variations. That gave me a fast way to see how the style guide applied everywhere at once and quickly spot problems. After every major iteration, I ask AI to review the code and check for edge cases and security issues. We also have a large test suite, which helps prevent breaking parts of the app outside the feature itself. If you want designers to ship code directly into production, the environment around them matters a lot. This feature took 1.5 weeks and touched hundreds of files. At the end, I asked AI to generate a big PDF report comparing the branch against main, summarizing what changed and explaining architecture decisions, so it would be easier for both AI and developers to review before merging. I’m still learning every day about AI and coding while designing features directly in the product. And honestly, I find it fascinating. I don’t really want to go back to the days when I had to design everything in an intermediate tool that doesn’t ship code.

I don't think junior designer should start from Figma these days.

Wanting citizenship is treasonous to your country of origin imo, and it's disrespectful to the people of the country you want to adopt as your own. You are a guest. Remaining a guest is a good thing. It's a forcing function towards good behaviour. Citizenship should be reserved for people who are actually born in the country to at least one parent who was also born in that same country, at a minimum. (In addition to good behaviour, basic language competence, other contributions, etc). I find it quite repulsive when people get citizenship and talk about being Irish after being fresh of the boat, having worked for Amazon for 3 years or something (and half the time spent travelling for sales); as it they are remotely Irish. It totally dilutes the culture and idea of what it means to be from a unique place, and you're left with slop culture that's just a mess of bad incentives and zero cohesion. Sad.

I think I agree with you kind of But I think citizenship should still be possible to get after 10 years of cultural assimilation, learning the language, large financial tax and spending contributions, real work, absolutely zero crime (okay a speeding ticket is fine but not much else), like I'm a positive immigrant in Portugal and should get rewarded for that More than that though I think welfare should ONLY be for citizens not for residents It should be practically impossible to get free government money as a non-citizen, that includes unemployment, social housing, income support (free money), and even healthcare: healthcare can be insured privately for non-citizens fine with insurance companies, there's no reason the government should be paying for non-citizens I remember during COVID, entrance to many countries as a tourist required getting private healthcare, I got that to enter Thailand in 2021 All these welfare programs when they started in the 1960s were meant for citizens, not residents You'll see how unattractive Europe becomes for welfare seekers overnight when you do this And you'll be left with people coming to Europe who actually want to contribute! The GOOD immigrants!
@dwjorgeb@dwjorgeb

I don't understand why we need to easily grant citizenship to immigrants, regardless where they are from. Want to get residency here and work here and help the country? Sure, welcome! But why do you need citizenship? Why should it be easy to get an European passport? People work all their life in the UAE, Singapore or many other places without ever getting citizenship there, why is it such a big deal to grant European citizenship

Since May, we’ve had 143 calls. We’ve generated around ~$300k in revenue so far. We had the chance to work with many great people in tech, and just as many not so great ones. It’s only been 10 months, but I can already say it’s been an incredible first year. Proud of

MCP never made sense to me. You're saying we made a machine with the knowledge of all mankind, and now we need a special way to interact with it? Instead of protocols it already knows? Abstractions like MCP are just someone's attempt at gatekeeping or owning an ecosystem.
@levelsio@levelsio

Thank god MCP is dead Just as useless of an idea as LLMs.txt was It's all dumb abstractions that AI doesn't need because AI's are as smart as humans so they can just use what was already there which is APIs
