@fredrivett Massive congrats - that’s a tired and happy face if ever I saw one!

[Ridd 🤿 @ridd_design]

there's a TON of demand for motion/web/brand people right now 📈

probably the biggest uptick of any role I've seen (including design engineers)

if that's your skillset and you're open to a big time role hop on in 👇

@merycodes Nice - I use this view almost every day for prototyping on preview. Thanks for making it cleaner.

Curious why you don't make the "latest deployment on branch" link accessible from the row in one click?

[Edward Handscombe @ehandscombe]

@ridd_design @meag_han_c @danshipper That’s a full house 😍. Copenhagen / London soon?

[Edward Handscombe @ehandscombe]

@AndrewHart Gotta love the byFounders office

@IniAbiodun Pretty nice globe… just sayin

[Edward Handscombe @ehandscombe]

The advantage of knowing what you're actually talking about.

"Sometimes I say things like 'use our tertiary button styles but extrapolate the inner shadows to make them higher contrast for this large card' and it freaking works"

Meanwhile I'm 13 prompts in hammering some nonsense prompt about the shadows not feeling quite right and asking claude to work out how a real designer would approach this...

[Edward Handscombe @ehandscombe]

@jameygannon Makes total sense that this is happening. Job market is so noisy - everything now leaning heavily to network and intro's.

[Edward Handscombe @ehandscombe]

@frenjason Wow, nice. Feels like it would be epic in AR with a humanoid assistant.

[Edward Handscombe @ehandscombe]

Bullish! Inbound recruiting is likely collapsing though. No signal in the noise of 1000s well polished AI applications.

Winning combo is authentic outbound directly from accounts of execs/hiring managers + a short paid work trial.

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Demand for recruiters is surging

The number of open recruiter roles is almost back to 2022 peak levels. This role got hit the hardest post-Covid, and also recovered the quickest.

By definition, recruiting headcount expands and contracts with hiring demand, so it’s likely a leading indication that we’re tracking toward sustained highs in hiring demand in tech.

@ridd_design @joshpuckett That was an incredible watch. Amazing to see what can be created with expert eng knowledge + the full AI stack for broad exploration and going deep on the details 🤯
