You heard the sounds from this sheet of metal, found in an alley in Compton, California, dozens of times.

Wait till you hear the constellation of sounds it makes.

This is the Legendary Percussion Sheet of Steve Forman!

He sold a company at 16. Then raised $3M at 19 without a co-founder.

Today he gave the whole thing away.

@supermemory now runs fully local, self-contained, and the binary is open source.

To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:

- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",

I made a motion vocabulary for this:

Men, take a break from whatever you're doing and see how many pushups you can do.

How many did you do?

It's a predictor of your heart disease risk.

. 20+ reps is linked to a 75% lower risk
. less than 10, you gotta get off dat ass

Data from 10 yr study of 1,104 men aged 21 to 66.

Pushups outperformed submaximal VO2max at predicting events, likely because pushups capture muscular strength and power on top of fitness, two of the strongest protective biomarkers known.

Limitations: the cohort was middle-aged male firefighters, so do not extend to women, older adults, or sedentary populations. The under 10 group was also older, heavier, and smoked more, so some signal is residual confounding by overall metabolic health.

Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) got a rough reception at release but it’s a ridiculous thrill ride packed with insane set pieces and over-the-top 2000s spectacle.

Eli Lilly has done it.

They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol.

That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

@shadcn @soleio Does it remove friction?
Does it anticipate needs?
Does it exceed expectations?
That seems to be the real crux. Reducing it to "does what it says and does it fast" ignores the rest of what makes a product sticky and memorable.

The obvious path for designers in the AI age is to move closer to code.

But the more valuable path may be upstream: closer to the customer, the business, and the problem.

If everyone can prompt agents to code, the scarce skill becomes knowing why, what, and how to build.

@gokulr Agreed for T shape designer skillset, future is likely a smaller department of E/ F shaped designers.
Teams being way smaller than today, with more revenue per employee is going to be a commonality across EPD not just design.
