Nothing better than Claude confidently not knowing its own features

@NelsonXLee Where is this?

[Kirk from UI Collective @KirkMDesign]

I worked with a founder once who refused to bug test because he was “too busy.”

What he really meant was he couldn’t be bothered to understand his own product.

That product no longer exists.

My guess is Figma will drift more and more towards a development tool

[Kirk from UI Collective @KirkMDesign]

@tomsanee is doing an interesting challenge where he's building 30 apps in 30 days.

Encourage everyone to show support and follow along

Enjoy my coffee more when I put it in an expensive glass. There’s a UX lesson here somewhere

What a video

Today, we're introducing Lassie and $47M in funding led by a16z.

We're building AI that runs small businesses, starting with doctors' offices.

Lassie is already trusted by 700+ practices across the country, working autonomously to provide them with 30 hours of labor per month.

To get here, we first had to leave Robinhood and Superhuman to work in offices ourselves.

Here's how that went.

@darkmembo Quantum coffee at the Well

@MoranEinDor I drink 50 espressos a day

[Kirk from UI Collective @KirkMDesign]

@_kelindi I’m more of a textured glass guy

[Olivia Prusinowski @oliviapruz]

@KirkMDesign agree. u start thinking about what's actually possible instead of what looks good on a canvas

[Kirk from UI Collective @KirkMDesign]

@oliviapruz Yeah - something designers are notorious for… designing something that’s difficult to actually build

[Kirk from UI Collective @KirkMDesign]

I feel like design roles are slowly moving closer to Design Engineer roles.

Not because every designer needs to code, but because the line between designing and building is getting a lot thinner.

Designers who can move between those worlds are going to have a real edge.

@uiNerd hahahah!
