no spoilers yet — but if you've ever had 8 browser tabs open just to check one design decision, this one's for you

just entered the @figma @contra #ConfigMakeathon

6 days. initial explorations of the tools. building something that solves a problem i run into regularly as a product designer

documenting the whole journey here 📝

AI is a slot machine, not a vending machine. You cannot fire carpenters and just expect new nail guns to do all the work.

I just read a tweet that says “Bragging about how much software you're shipping with Al is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.”

As Mo Bitar says, you might click thousands of pictures with a better shutter but you’ll waste equal amount of time shortlisting the one that’s worth uploading.

Another fundamental concept from the program: Avoid Intellectual Obesity

Over-reliance on AI without critical thinking leads to a "vending machine" mindset.

The goal isn't to outsource thinking, but to enhance it. AI should support your reasoning—not replace it. 🧠🚫

One key idea from Cutting Edge Academy’s Agentic AI for Daily Work program:

AI should handle the first mile (drafting, researching, structuring)

Humans should handle the last mile (decisions, taste, strategy)

That split changes everything.

@AnshMehraaa Prompting is a commodity; Context Engineering is the real skill.

In Module 1, I shifted from writing simple queries to building deep context. It was the difference between getting a generic draft and a professional-grade output that actually saved me time. ⚡️🚀

[Shreya Khettry @designingpixels]

There’s a lot of “AI hype” out there.

I’m going through Cutting Edge Academy’s ‘Agentic AI for Daily Work’ program and it’s reshaping how I think about and use AI.

I thought it would be a course about tools. It’s actually a course about how to think with AI.

[Shreya Khettry @designingpixels]

@AnshMehraaa Most people treat AI like a search engine. I’m learning to treat it like a teammate.

Module 1 introduced the A.C.E. Framework:
🎯 Action
🌍 Context
✨ Expectation

If you don’t engineer the context, you’ll only ever get "average" outputs. 🎯🤖

The #finalissima ticket queue is ridiculous… I reached the 10-minute mark, and suddenly it jumped to a wait time of more than an hour. 😡

@gestapoed damn dude

@relume_io @Apple @marina_uiux Thank you so much!! This challenge pushed my creativity, and I’m glad you’ll liked my design!✨

Here’s a little taste!  🍔

[Shreya Khettry @designingpixels]

Honestly one of the best websites I’ve seen in a long time. The fact that they built it entirely without AI agents is crazy — a solid reminder that humans still bring something AI can’t! 🤖❌

Earlier this year we had the absolute pleasure of working with @LandoNorris to elevate his online brand and web experience. We went all in. Check it out 🏁🏁
