This one hits different - many hours spent here in this building.

@runaway_vol How would this be better than a Gagguino + PID E24 Evo Pro?

Is this just about the looks? Apple Vs the Linux on think-pad

@iamsahaj_xyz I use Figma for sketching ideas but the delivery work for use by SWEs is mostly code now.

Being 100% code can constrain your imagination, ground it too much in immediate feasibility.

@joshpuckett @asallen The Aeropress Premium - worse utility, fragile, colder brews, complete form over function.

@anmolm_ Only 90s kids will understand.

@scspeier What other things in the knowledge surface of a visual designer - do you find lacking in the web-native world? I am looking for ideas.

[Akash Shetye @as_958]

@benspringwater @soleio Beautiful execution - might wean me off twitter.

[Akash Shetye @as_958]

@scspeier I do this. This is the future.

@soleio @jennywen The year is 2027. Design systems is the only "design" team staffed internally. User flows, research, UI done by PMs with design agents that run through a principal designer's yes/no vote. Devs revise at the speed of feedback, route through a PM yay/nay pipe. Senior ICs can veto

@nikitabier @wirelyss Do a read only API

@coryetzkorn Last time I used Figma was 2025.

@prakdadlani @VishakhRanotra The "italian" machines are beautiful but the ripoff index is too much.

A slightly cheaper <$1k Indian take on the Rocket Appartamento would kill it even with tariffs etc.

Absolute lifesaver, even if it may be an interaction design change under the hood, it makes the experience better than interrupting Claude's chain of thought and restating + your /btw context.

[Thariq @trq212]

We just added /btw to Claude Code!

Use it to have side chain conversations while Claude is working.

The opportunity cost of employees who need to be told what to do has gone through the roof.

@VishalBhargava5 QoL infrastructure - education, law and order, water, utilities and traffic.

@bilawalsidhu Tasteful interior design.

@avstorm Finally. Been doing placeholder component swaps since 2016
