Creative learnoholic 🤓 now @deel

what i look for when hiring designers: care, creativity, cleverness, collaboration, communication, confidence.
the first three show up in the work. the last three decide whether your ideas survive the room.

[Thierry Edde @thierryEdde44]

We’re redefining how the world gets paid.

Introducing the Deel stablecoin wallet allowing contractors to hold earnings in DLUSD, earn rewards and spend anywhere.

All on @deel.

Big thanks to our partners at @Stablecoin @privy_io @tempo @Morpho @SentoraHQ for making this possible.

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

figma is not your design system source of truth. code is. most teams haven't fully accepted this — and it's exactly why they can't build AI-native. Checkout how we map things at Deel

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

@stnkvcs Looking awesome would love to explore

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

friend went on holiday, i asked for their AI tokens
not possible, apparently
they'll just sit there for 2 weeks while i'm rate-limited
the fix is obvious. the incentives are the problem.

[Alex Bouaziz @Bouazizalex]

I love it when I hop on an @akai_by_deel demo.

Everyone starts skeptical. "We are building this in house."

100% of the time, 15 minutes later, they're beliebers.

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

output feels like progress. that's the trap.
ai didn't make us more productive — it made us feel more productive. the brain doesn't tell the difference.
measure the movement, not the meal.

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

but agents working in the background don't need a spinner. there's no tab to keep open

call me when you need me. tell me when you're done. that's the whole ux

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

loading state ux has legitimate jobs — chat, synchronous waiting, "don't close this tab" moments. the uber "5 min" lie exists for a reason: you're standing there, decision pending, you need managing

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

inspiration isn't passive. it's infrastructure.
turned a slack channel of cool stuff into a gallery — something you browse, sit with, absorb. built the same for our own work, with real peer feedback alongside it.

[Alex Bouaziz @Bouazizalex]

With Deel, a company in NYC can now fund payroll in dollars and their employee in Berlin can receive it in stablecoins within minutes 🤯

On one platform, no workarounds.

Stablecoin salary payouts are available for employees in the EU and US - the UK and LATAM are coming soon.

You choose how to fund it. They choose how to get paid

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

The quote that was selected is overdramatising but the content of what Brian says I agree with

[Mo @atmoio]

"I don't think people managers will have any value in the future."

Airbnb CEO said on a recent pod the people most screwed by AI will be people managers.

Perhaps we had this all wrong. The future belongs to ICs. There is now more use for them than ever before.

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

killing the roadmap doesn't mean killing prioritization. it means stop pretending you know what matters most three months from now.

[Dominik Kandravy @heyiamdk]

my screen is always a mess. so i made it so one shake of the cursor clears everything but the task.

dropping monday btw.

[Alex Bouaziz @Bouazizalex]

Next season, @deel will become the official sleeve partner of @Arsenal 🔴⚪

When we partnered with @Arsenal last year, we set out to build something lasting, starting with rolling out Deel across their workforce and HR operations. Having our name on one of the most iconic shirts in world football is the next step in that relationship.

We made ‘Patchmaker’ with the club, a film featuring Viktor Gyökeres and Patrick Vieira. Worth watching 📷

Yes, I'm a PSG fan. But like every French kid, I grew up dreaming in front of Arsène, Titi and the Invincibles! #COYG

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

selling is 50% of a designer's job.
most stop at the solution. the work ends when the room agrees.

[Alex Bouaziz @Bouazizalex]

Today we're launching @QuiverAI SVG generation inside Paper

A breakthrough SVG model that lets you explore logo ideas and illustrations quickly in vector format.

It's very strong at using reference images too.

Try it out and send us feedback!

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

and it doesn't have to be work-related. love cooking? win a competition. love travel? go to 100 countries, not 20. the thing you're obsessed with is the thing that makes you worth working with.

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

side projects aren't proof you have free time. they're proof you're obsessed with something.

[Avi Ashkenazi @Superavi1]

the person who treats their craft as a job, or the person so deranged by it that mastery is inevitable? i'll take the obsessed one every time.
