@joonasvirtanen @Airbnb Amazing work dude! Would love to chat when your looking for your next role

[Conor Sweeney @_ConorSweeney]

@CharlesPattson It’s going to be hard to bring people and companies back after years of figma becoming the standard. Figma has it drawbacks but all in all it’s the best tool for the job

@ilyamiskov @SuperSaf Sucks there was no black pro model this go around, would have been a massive hit. It also falls outside of the rest of their pro devices that all come in space grey which bothers me my devices don’t match

@IsBrutallyHuman @felixleezd @ycombinator So much yes

[Felix Lee @felixleezd]

Designers, YC is calling for you.

@ycombinator just put out a "request for startups" for more designer founders.

starting a group chat for designers who want to build their idea/startup... we’ll share:

- product ideas
- best frameworks and tools
- design engineering talks
- design founder chats

reply if you wanna join

[Aaron Epstein @aaron_epstein]

More designers should be founders. And we want to back them at YC.

Over the next decade, as new coding tools make it easier than ever to build and ship products quickly, great design is going to matter even more.

@SCullenCarroll Ahh I love that I’ll use it from now on

Let’s retire “it must be nice.”

Because here’s what it really says:
“I’m uncomfortable with your success and it’s easier to believe you were lucky than to admit you worked harder than I did.”

Oof.
Truth hurts, huh?

If you stop throwing shade and start doing the work.
(And maybe ask them how they did it instead of writing it off.)

@andrewjclare @asherdipps I want to see apple go back to their days of favouring ux over shit ui and bandaid patterns. iOS as a whole from Home Screen to notifications completely needs to be revamped. It’s bloated, favours distraction over delight and has become a usability nightmare

[Conor Sweeney @_ConorSweeney]

“It must be nice.”

You say it like it was handed to them. Like they didn’t sacrifice sleep, sanity, and weekends to get there.

You didn’t see them working that 9-5 and the 6-2.
Didn’t see the anxiety attacks, the self-doubt, the “should I even keep going?” moments.
Didn’t see the years of invisible effort behind the one shiny moment.

So no—it’s not “nice.”
It’s earned.
And the price? You probably wouldn’t have paid it.

@andrewjclare @techdroider All of the latest iPhones have bad physical design. The protruding camera that won’t allow a phone to sit upward facing without being stable is horrible. Make an always on display with a phone that wobbles when laid without a case it’s stupid.
