Good design is invisible. Great design is memorable.

@brasshands What would you say are the biggest the differences between this and utilitarian design?

@grok @Trellraiser @CoryOnBrand @Meta @finkd How about if your Instagram profile is private?

@astridwilde @Jamesthesnake Just keep it frozen and then temporarily unfreeze it when you need to.

@RootjeBel @joshpuckett Curious why the overflow menu has metrics associated with it?

AX is the new UX.

Software was built for humans clicking, now it gets rebuilt for agents.

Stripe just paid $8B for OpenRouter betting the main user of the internet is an agent.

Rebuilding all that software is 1000+ new companies.

The most obvious opportunity in a long time!

@techzha @markgurman Basically a timer

@NBInvest90 @jeremybernier Cheaper and exploited ≠ “most capable”

The hardest thing to find right now?
Balance.

Every platform is flooded with self-proclaimed AI experts trying to sell their idea of the future, which in most cases is just doing more work for less.

Let people do what they want- I can assure you that every serious designer I know will learn most AI tools in under a day if needed.

But we do what we do because we enjoy it and actually like the process- we don’t need automation for every single task.

Not everything that can be automated should be. Some of us still measure the work by what it felt like to make it.

@karrisaarinen True, but I was speaking from a white collar profession pov not an existential one 😉

[Darion @amdarion]

@hewarsaber @karrisaarinen Shocking thing about ‘taste’ is everyone thinks they have it.

[Darion @amdarion]

@rogie @bradfordcross @zoink Yes. I love moving the pixels and combing over details. Prompting just feels like data entry to me

[Darion @amdarion]

@FonsMans @pentaclay Insane how difficult this has been for people to grasp.

[Darion @amdarion]

@mds No it realizes (despite its success) that it’s in the wrong business and rebrands as an AI company.

[Darion @amdarion]

@joshpuckett @joshcrnls Well that’s embarrassing when you consider the latest output.

[Darion @amdarion]

@ilyamiskov I just see a lot of ‘jazz hands’ these days

[Darion @amdarion]

@onuro This is a silly take.

A senior product designer should know this already + understand html and css at the bare minimum.

[Darion @amdarion]

@kiiradesign @paper @buildstorycom Liquid tombstones?

[Darion @amdarion]

@vladmoroz Com + click to reach nested layers is already ingrained into my workflow. Anything else feels broken, unfortunately.

@SawyerMerritt A Ferrari with oversized Toyota looking knobs 🤦‍♂️
