Pinning an intro: I'm a software designer from the U.K. currently living in the Bay Area via NYC. I like building the things that I design and hacking on generative interfaces. I live with my amazing wife and our puppy. If you want to chat IRL or otherwise, reach out!

@nathanborror Yes this

I regret to announce that not checking this place in a few weeks did make me happier

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@kevintwohy I drive past all the time, but I want to drive in and live there

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@rsg @NoemiKhachian This is the way

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@stewartsc @zendadddy Same ✅

You can just `ship` things

```
alias ship='git add . && git commit -m "$(date)" && git push'
```

@joshpuckett I’m so thankful for your consistently great food takes. Baked Camembert (with garlic and some delicious herbs) is up there also.

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@paulg Yes

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@devinsfountain @whale Yeah good note 🙂 although there are a few throughout the day you can try to get a place on https://t.co/WjcQlTLnZQ

@aarondfrancis Yes

Trains are incredible and we should have more of them (especially in the USA)

[juan @juanbuis]

france's new high-speed trains were just revealed and... they look *incredible*

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

Tools like @v0 and @Replit really are so great for making disposable tools that you just wouldn’t bother making before. I’m reading Tiny Experiments from @neuranne and asked v0 to make be a pact tracker and this is the, well, v0.

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@willthomson__ Agreed, hugely inspired by Ira. Enjoyed this recent interview with him if you haven’t already listened!

@sammdec Haha yes! It’s annoying when procrastination looks exactly like progress (or at least that’s what I tell myself when I’m several hours into a thing that’s totally unimportant at the time).

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

Had a dumb idea and decided to ship it. Need to re-record the audio because I sound weird and there was some neighbour-noise, but... you can just ship things.

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@sammdec Yeah the humble JSON file is underrated. Spent hours playing with vector databases one time and didn’t ship an idea when honestly… JSON file of embeddings would have been just fine.

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@sammdec I’m trying to break a habit of spending too much time just playing with fun technology and too little time just getting the stuff out there that I originally wanted to. Actively taking caveman approach to avoid procrastinating.

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@sammdec You know, I started down that path because I want to explore it for longer posts, but realised I was spending more time playing with tools than shipping the idea, so I literally did the opposite: played the audio and hand-wrote JSON with timestamps 🥲

[Craig Atallah Frost @atallahfrost]

@sammdec Oh just audio playback 🙂 but the second one would be super cool haha (thanks for the idea)
