Designers, always code with design in mind. Otherwise, don’t code at all.

[Shashi (シャシ) @shashpicious_]

I think coding is slowly killing my design taste.

ever since I started spending more time inside IDEs, something’s shifted in my brain. earlier, my default mode was pure design, obsessing over spacing, micro-interactions, tiny details that no one notices but everyone feels.

now I start with constraints. scalability, edge cases, timelines, dev effort. “can we build this?” shows up way before “does this feel right?”

and the weird part is I still see everything. I know when something feels off, when it could be pushed further, when it lacks that sharpness.

I just… don’t go there anymore.

I cut iterations faster. I compromise earlier. I settle for “this works” instead of “this feels right.”

I think being close to code rewires you. you start filtering ideas through feasibility, and slowly, taste takes a backseat to practicality. craft gets replaced by closure.

and it’s such a silent shift you don’t even realise it’s happening.

is this growth or is this how designers slowly lose their edge without even noticing it ?

@akbuilds_ Well done man 💪🏻

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

@akbuilds_ @ClayOglesby I’m lazy

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

@akbuilds_ @ClayOglesby Most of users won’t even know they can clone the repo and build it… 😅

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

@akbuilds_ @ClayOglesby Can’t you just make the plugin open source like the MCP? 😅

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

@1000kilobytes That’s exactly what macOS should’ve become. Great work!

“Taste in design is not just solving the problem, but solving it elegantly. Elegance is coherence, restraint, proportion, clarity. It is the difference between something that technically works and something that feels great.”

Folks, give it a read.

The more I see companies talk about coding with agents and designing in code, the worse their UX seems to be.

Users don’t care how it was built or how fast it was built. They just want it to work well.

So walk the walk and make something great.

AI won’t kill design, but bad designers.
If your job is pushing pixels, a prompt will be faster than you.

If your job is taste and understanding humans, you’re not* replaceable.

AI makes average UI cheaper.
It doesn’t create meaning.

*Not by companies that care about design.

@linuz90 @openclaw ChatGPT tutta la vita! Dove lo fai girare openclaw?

After many years of development, I’m excited to share the interior of the first electric Ferrari designed by LoveFrom. Tactile controls and digital interactions blend into one cohesive interface, shaped through deep collaboration across engineering, interaction, graphics, typography, sound, and industrial design. So incredibly proud of the thoughtfulness and care the team brought to every detail.

@MoonbearAI @figma I don’t remember 😅

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

Looks like @figma is rolling out "Slots".

Finally, the dream of moving content inside component instances is becoming real.

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

@angeloldesigns Ciao! Lo proverò presto, con supa palette il mi sono trovato benissimo. Ti volevo chiedere, per quale motivo non c’è Material Design tra i preset? (Credo che Material UI sia diverso)

[Alessandro Chiarlitti @aesign_]

@MoonbearAI @figma Pretty good.
