if i'm in not doing anything, i feel bad because i'm lazy.
if i'm working towards a goal, i feel impatient for the end result.
if i finish something, i can't enjoy it for more than a couple days.

why’s everything gotta be in tension??

@nourhanstfu first mistake is being on linkedin (:

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@theonlyfarouq absolutely agree at the end. stuff is always bound to change. sometimes it affects you, sometimes it doesn't. be cognizant of what's going on around you and adjust when needed. i think people are going to be just fine.

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@CrudePaintings we will agree to disagree 😈

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@deinakellezi "make what you wish existed" has personally been the most liberating thing when it comes to making anything. i learned that when making art, but that lesson has bled into just about everything

@demonegoo you ever drawn any self portraits before?

@lorcanart excited to see when you're ready to share (:

@danielcberk i deleted my account last year because i was so fed up with it

@rich_chappelow let your inner kid out

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@saminacodes certainly there's a good opportunity to educate vibe coders (me) with the more hidden and less flashy bits of making products. this is basically my cry for help.

@CrudePaintings more is more

@WesleyBancroft everything feels flexible. regardless of what happens to design, as long as you're paying attention and adapting to whatever changes, i just don't see a bad outcome for that person

@_javierivero when i see those people i mute em now

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

maybe design language is too broad of a term because you can probably lump a bunch of stuff together. but my mind immediately goes to maximalism. i think y2k design def fits in there. anti-design too.

but it feels like the web has been optimized for conversions and readability and clarity etc that minimalism feels like the "correct" meta. and so anything that strays from that isn't pursued as much.

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

and i hadn't even considered that as the end goal til just now!

i got into it because it a high school teacher recommended product design to me in my junior year. that was 9 years ago. and if i look back at all the things i've created in that time, i can see myself coming back to the "product" of product design

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@darylginn i’m a designer. and if ai gets so good at design that it makes it my job obsolete, then i’ll get to do what i think i’ve wanted this whole time actually. which is just to build things that people use. and if i can get there faster then i think i’m okay with that

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@BusyFocusApp hardware has been something i never thought i'd be interested in building, but with claude being able to help me code a lot of those projects... i think it's time to start experimenting 👀

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

i've been trying to build my own designs for years now (apps and webapps specifically), and it seems like we're finally at a point where ai is able to realize a lot of what i wanted to make in the first place.

i remember being demoralized whenever i'd inevitably hit walls, causing the project to end. but i feel there's just so much potential now and i'm designing and building like i'm in a frenzy now and i LOVE it.

[Isaiah @eyexayuh]

@pat_baranowski definitely agree. there's so many types of design languages out there untapped by anyone right now.
