Well that escalated quickly! (😮‍💨11 mos)
Really proud to announce that @newthing_co has been acquired by @joinbenjamin. @TheCodeBender and I will join the team in product and engineering leadership roles to bring AR rewards to as many people as possible!

$2000 for a font for a commercial project where the upside is usually way over $2k is a no brainer. Stealing from an artist to enrich a (usually big) company is crazy.

I actually think font licensing *has solved* many of its major issues. Allowing designers to “sell” a font before a client / company buys with a trial was a huge move most foundries have already made.

When the licensing is based on arbitrary things (ex: employee count) it gets a little weird still but overall this guy is wrong.

@lil_dill @kevinyien +1. I've been building ai-based tools for my process to make a bunch of small changes in the UI "by hand"/fast and that is captured into a specific prompt sent to Claude Code + refreshthe view + go again (doing this for animations too - riffed via DialKit from @joshpuckett)

@anothercohen Ultra 3 is wildly better battery life. I want to try the Oura 5 and an analog watch for my daily and then keep my Apple Watch for workouts specifically. I had the Oura 4 and it was too bulky for me

@rogie @EstebaNicola @adispezio Anthony I’m looking too! (if there’s an additional cancel after Esteban)

Hope you score one Esteban 🙌🙏

Kirkland & Ellis, the world's highest-grossing law firm, is setting aside $500M to build its own AI platform rather than rely on tools available to its rivals (Financial Times)

That's how programming feels nowadays

@CoachDanGo When you post the results please post what workout routines you did (and your goal or phase - bulk cut maintenance etc) and what your rpe was. I’d love to see if anyone is an outlier in routine measurement.

@hemeon Mancubs work is really good and really unique. Not surprised but stoked for you and for him man! That’s awesome.

@RThermo56 @emilkowalski I use it (quiet a bit). It's very good and levels up most animations effortlessly on normally static claude outputs. I paid the $99

How many iterations it takes to get the same tasks done has increased. Claude doing monumentally different errors (lit GH commits without being asked to, which it replied "my bad" to!?). Overall uptime. Whatever you all started doing around end of Feb has been a constant hangover into April.

It doesn't matter you can build faster now.

The slop bucket is overflowing.

People need to see visible effort, craft and passion in products, otherwise they fade into obscurity almost instantly.

Being genuine as a maker is more important than being efficient.

@RealSkyHartman or an XDR. It's literally your main tool, why not advocate that to make the best you need the best?
