Product at @MUI_hq.
UI, Gamedev, and a bit of art.
Building something today.

@uixmat @vercel The light theme really shines now! 🚀

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@thsottiaux Whenever you have another chance, project terminals in addition to thread-linked, please? 🙈 That'd work wonders, especially when working from our phones.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

There's never been a better time to be ambitious.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Everything is different now. It's time to think bigger.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@uixmat Hell ye!!

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@uixmat Love this!

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

Opus is so March 2026.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@adjohu I like where this is going.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

I really hope this is a marketing stunt, for the sake of HF.
The fat cat is basically an entire data center on its own.

[Julien Chaumond @julien_c]

Yesterday Mistral uploaded the private checkpoint of le chaton fat to @huggingface and it broke our S3 bill

Three tries to get a journal entry reveal animation right in my game.

Clip-path wipe, too subtle.

IntersectionObserver, triggered on mount instead of scroll.

CSS transition on a class toggle, 2 lines, worked perfectly.

The boring solution won again

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@thdxr Surprised that most people didn't get that the question is a reflection about prioritization.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

Hey Amsterdam! We're waiting you at our @ReactSummit booth. Let's talk design systems!

[dax @thdxr]

it's not done if it's not implemented
it's not done if the implementation is ugly
it's not done if it's not documented
it's not done if users can't discover it
it's not done if you can't market it

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@badlogicgames I haven't seen enough just yet. I'm still fascinated.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

I guess this is bit of a flex, but it's weird that this is a new trend. I thought it was a goal for everyone, but suddenly it's like this new revealed secret.

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

That's what I call seamless virtualization

[Nora Leonte @nora_leonte]

MUI X Scheduler is in beta and we're shipping some cool stuff: Timeline lazy loading and virtualization are live!

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

@_prakash_dev_ @MUI_hq Thank you! and keep them coming!

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

Reasonable insight. The SF hivemind is disconnected from reality.

[Lee Robinson @leerob]

"Engineering, product, and design are all merging into a 'builder' role"

Yeah... I'm not so sure. This feels like an oversimplification and podcast talking point. Reality is a lot more complex.

Even with 1000 "Member of Technical Staff" titles, someone still has to wake up and care 100x more about Product or Design than anyone else. It is their Main Thing™

That's not to say MTS titles are universally bad, but I think they're an example of this 'builder' talking point that's become bastardized.

AI and coding agents have made generating code easy and yet... you're in for a world of pain if non-engineers ship a bunch of slop and don't have great engineers to tame the complexity.

The SF hivemind has a tendency to overfit what works at startups for every company. And to be fair, sometimes this is true! Startups can be a leading indicator for how the industry is changing and often cause disruption.

However, it is going to be incredibly hard to disrupt the extremely human parts of corporate jobs. You really think there's going to be a PM who also does some engineering and design on the side at JPMorgan Chase?

This is true for the simple parts of most jobs, like people wanting to have ownership over something and do good work, move up a career ladder, support their family, get paid well, make an honest living...

And also the hard parts: internal politics, some critical business system that has a bus factor of 1 which has been running for 15 years and isn't documented anywhere because it's that guy's job security. The real world has a lot of this stuff.

It's easy to pontificate about all roles collapsing but it's actually really nice to have a specific person or team who is an expert in one thing that you can work with. I don't expect that to change. Further, I think AI disruption to knowledge work will take decades to play out because it is more fundamental to the human condition (e.g. sociological/organizational) than pure intelligence.

At this point, I can say with a 100% certainty that OpenClaw is nowhere near suitable to the average user.

You can basically customize anything, but If you want something that fully (and simply) works out-of-the-box, it's not for you.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

Shut up and take my money

[This Week in Startups @twistartups]

Someone connected Open Claw to their Meta Ray-Bans.

Shawn looks at a box of lens wipes and tells his agent to add them to his Amazon cart.

No phone. No keyboard. No app. Just glasses.

[José RC de Freitas @TheUIJoe]

Somelobster forgot to send me the invite

[Sam Lambert @samlambert]

these openclaw meetups are getting out of control
