@ehandscombe Thanks ed! It's worth the wait :)

Super proud to finally share Chief with the world.

It’s been a crazy few months, but the product is something me and the guys are extremely proud of. Excited for everyone to see what we’ve been building.

I'll be posting some of my fav parts of what we have crafted so far!

This is really neat but it’s not a design tool as much as it’s a design _production_ tool.

The practice of design is mostly about what comes before production.

There’s no doubt in my mind that all parts of software production will become automated very soon. Writing code, making web pages, putting pieces of a design system together etc.

And that’s fine. I think few people actually enjoy this kind of production work. Wouldn’t it be better if we spent our precious time in life on what is more meaningful?!

At the core, the practice of design is methodical; like architecture, not like art. In a nutshell: We find constraints, form comprehension of the whole and propose solutions that honor those constraints. First after that do we enter some form of production phase, usually prototypes first, learn about some constraints that were hidden before, loop back, prototype and then build the production-grade “final” artifact.

These last few tasks are quickly losing value because AI tools can do it much faster (not yet better though) than humans. It’s simply just what has the best RoI for a business.

Some companies and individuals will continue to spend human time on certain parts of the “production line” as a market differentiator, but it will cost them a relatively high price compared to competitors.

Anyhow, I still haven’t seen a tool better than Figma that supports the actually-interesting part of the design process.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Figma focused their products on that, maybe separating “products for production” of “products for ideation & exploration.” The latter would obviously still leverage AI, but not to do the work for me but rather to support my efforts the way a therapist helps me live a better life (not living my life for me.)

@ridd_design I have no twitter home for my design work (yet), but this page will become that 🫡. Again it was my pleasure, I loved every minute! I hope some people get some value from our jam!

@notzxxch @redordead2389 @ghoshal It’s a masterpiece of dark UX, the actual experience has very little value. It’s a glorified scam, it breaks countless apple guidelines on live activity usage and design principles.

[tommy. @arcadia044]

@Hybrid_Theories @Suhail 100% agree, the whole experience feels like a scam. Never seen dark UX patterns celebrated like this so openly.

[tommy. @arcadia044]

@TheReds97 @fotballdiscuLFC @SalahXtra_ @TheImmortalKop Clearly not

[tommy. @arcadia044]

@AnfieldSector I’m assuming it was meant to be the other way round no? Didn’t we sign him as a CB from Celta?

[tommy. @arcadia044]

@dforsh @sherrod_im @madsagascar That is also a completely fair take, I agree, it’s more indicative of the state of social media though, people voicing intentionally controversial things for the sake of interaction becomes hard to avoid when it’s literally the only content you see
