@HilaShmuel you don't need to hire a designer

you just need to care enough

the base is solid, the details are not. a designer is not gonna fix that. you just need to care about what you do enough that you spend enough time on polishing before publishing.

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

this is the perfect example of a company with zero taste

the landing page is so sloppy, clearly AI made (with almost zero thought put into changing the font or the top heading pills or overall polishing), quite a few rendering bugs when scrolling and extremely weird-feeling scroll snaps, masked by fancy-looking animations that barely tell anything because they're too fast to read

taste is not "make this extremely fancy and good looking with a thousand moving animations"

taste is showing craft and extreme attention to detail to what you do. thinking about the purpose of your actions and ensuring the user gets the value they need from their time in your project in the most comfortable way possible, whether it be a landing page, a platform or an agent calling your phone.

the details always speak loudest

I just discovered an awesome compression algorithm: your 4000 word blog post can be compressed down to the prompt you gave Claude to write it.

@KantemirDex believe bro

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@sl1ma4 dude same today i somehow burned through all of WEEKLY fable in half a day? there must be something wrong with claude this can't be it

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@dimentary if you solve that for frontend design bro you'll be the goat

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@chappyasel this is easily the most underrated unlock of AI. taste is so scarce, it really is true that you can't vibecode taste.

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@icanvardar and opus 5 is when i took it back

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

anyone else just got their usage inflated like this too?

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@claudeai what is going on?? my usage reset yesterday and i've barely done anything. there is absolutely no way this is actually true. what the hell?

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@archiemckenzie_ taste is, again, the most missing thing

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@markproduct Too much and not enough at the same time

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@0xmads That sounds lowkey epic

[Pablo Molina @26pablo7]

@rxhit05 you could've done better and you didn't, you've wasted 34% of your potential

how does that feel?

🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.

In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.

That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.

Why?

Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.

So why was Telegram singled out?

Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly asked to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.

Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.

Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.

Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions.

In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.

In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊
