Joshua Sortino

only the original designer OGs remember these…

@jasonlk Let me be clear: I'm thankful for my time there. I worked with some incredible people (like @mattbango) and learned a lot. But I think the employees (especially those who came after me) would have benefited in the long run if the company had been more appropriately valued.

@jasonlk When I was working at Brex, I remember thinking "We're a $12 billion company??? That seems... off." I sold the max of my options in that round and started looking for my next job shortly after.

ok but when does the black iphone come out

@TylerGalpin haven't been on here in a while, was going through my friends list to see what everyone's been up to the last half-decade. you're crushing it man. portfolio/work is awesome and inspiring. a reminder of the good ole days.

@sortino Deep Research and 4o image gen are the first two times I've watched a chunk of a lot of people's jobs evaporate overnight. Not the top tier researchers or designers, but a significant number of people in the lower tiers. What would you evolve toward?

Designers, you have 3 years to pivot or evolve. Consider this your warning. openai.com/index/introduc…

Designers who code will no longer “know enough code to be dangerous” but will be able to build end-to-end experiences.

Hey friends, I have a couple of friend's notable companies looking for senior/Principal designers, and they're willing to compensate appropriately. Retweet / DM me (confidential details can be provided in DM).

it would be funny if mstr needed a bailout one day… and then the govt gets their btc 🤔

a few months ago robinhood sent me a gold credit card with extremely high-quality details. i thought it was a ridiculous marketing stunt at the time but now it’s an example i give when talking about great design.

@rabois What did they do specifically?

I will never purchase any product/brand that advertises on CNN again.

The next time you have imposter syndrome at work, just remember:

My future kid: “Daddy, why did the entire American financial system collapse?” Me: “Because of a meme”

@neversitdull @figma After trying many things to fix the problem, the solution that worked for me was going into Font Book settings and running the "Reset Fonts" command.

@sortino @figma Have you reached out to support already? If not, the team should be able to take a closer look and diagnose from there.

@figma Figma is unable to read my fonts, and I've done everything imaginable to fix the issue, including: - Reinstalled Figma + Figma font manager and used AppCleaner to remove temp files - Restarted / Updated Mac / Etc - Reinstalled fonts - Checked permissions in Security settings for Figma to have access to folders (it does) This problem just randomly started. What gives?

@kyleanthony Everyone joked and laughed when the prediction was Uber would replace taxis. Fast forward and Uber has replaced taxis. Yes, they still exist… but barely.

Doesn't really seem like AI is replacing jobs. Mostly assisting people at their job. Agree?

@kyleanthony I want in. You didn't share a link!

Hey all 👋 Remember when I was talking about launching a club for designers? Well it's here! I'm super excited to announce Brand Crew, a members-only club for designers looking to up their brand game and lock in freelance opportunities. Join the crew! Link below

Help me hire an artist! I have a friend with an awesome project, but he needs an anime specialist. Tag a friend or an artist and help them get hired!

@flyosity @stylebot @blur_io bored apes puts a rounded corner in their image lmao. that’s the real problem here…

Blur’s ugly hover state with mismatched corner radii has bothered me for too long so in 2024 I’m doing something about it. .grid-item { border-radius: 14px !important; } That’s much better thanks @stylebot

someone in the room next to me must be an apple-fanboy because I heard their alarm go off at 4:59am.
