I think graphic design will be cooked by next year, just like programming is today

[Ignat @ignat_en]

Just gave my ChatGPT Figma access and asked it to make App Store screenshots, because I have no time and too lazy to do it myself

Ofc the copy is still very sloppy and I’ll have to rewrite it myself, but it did a pretty decent jun-level job I think

And all of this took ~30 mins

[Ignat @ignat_en]

Asked it to add captions, and it resized everything, placed them, and cropped the screenshots properly. Yes, it's sloppy if you look closely, but still cute and does the job

Feels like another 20–30 min of prompting and this could actually go to prod

[Ignat @ignat_en]

Spent last 2 weeks completely rethinking what is and how Combra should work.

After trying a bunch of different approaches and talking to people, it finally feels like a real product.

It’s becoming both a second brain for your company and what file storage should probably be like in 2026.

Also experimenting with Material 3 along the way :3

Another week of hard work.

My take on AI adoption

If you can’t name 5 models beyond GPT, Claude, or Grok

If terms like harnesses, loops, hooks, and sub-agents look new to you

And if your biggest AI problem is figuring out which $20 subscription hits limits first…

Your AI adoption is zero. And no wonder you think AI is bullshit.

My weekly Claude limit ran out earlier than usual this week, so I switched to Codex. And it's so horrible!

Yes, I pay $100 for it vs $200 for Claude, but I've already hit 3 resets in 5 hours and still got less done than I normally get from a single Claude session.

And the difference in usage is pretty wild. The same workload that used around 3-5% of my weekly Claude Opus + Fable limit, with Codex, switching between Terra and Sol, burned almost 80% of the weekly limit. And usage isn't even the main issue.

Maybe Codex is fine for small and isolated tasks, but with real systems it quickly loses the bigger picture. You have to explain every dependency and corner case, but even in this case there are bugs and anti-patterns.

While with Claude I can ship entire features in one planning-session, in some cases even without reviewing it.

Can't wait for Wednesday evening and Claude limit reset 🙏

Meanwhile, DO gave us credits upfront, no questions asked

Guess where we’re staying to build and scale

[Ignat @ignat_en]

AWS reached out and offered credits through their startup program. We agreed to try it and booked another call, but 2 hours before it, they canceled because… we weren’t using AWS

Wtf was that lol

On our first call, we told them our current server count and situation, of course

[Ignat @ignat_en]

Just had another VC meeting. Last time, the focus was mostly on our team. Today, they went straight for the product's weak spots. Not sure we nailed every answer, but I left with better questions and a clearer idea of what to do next. Learning at every step, what a life!

[Ignat @ignat_en]

Based.

- exercise as your medication

@sridharfyi Ready to pitch, present and invite to try if you’re interested!

Building Combra — a company brain for teams. Rn it answers from your own sources in places where your team works, with a citation on every answer, and remembers the decisions your team made and why.

But we’re aiming further: knowledge that doesn’t wait to be asked and surfaces the right context on its own, and that gives your agents a real understanding of how your company runs.

We’re in closed beta, partly live, access one-by-one for now. Looking for design partners, early customers, and raising for compute. DMs are open if you’re interested!

I’ve been too busy to tweet for the past few days, but quick checkpoint:

Just had our first VC call while we still only have a demo. Polishing the deck tonight, with a couple more fund calls and AWS coming up soon

Starting to feel like a real founder lol

[Ignat @ignat_en]

@secretcravin the height of Japanese ceilings

[Ignat @ignat_en]

@maria_rcks @saraaa7447 I call this absolute professional incompetence

[Ignat @ignat_en]

Give AI an algorithmic problem and it feels like magic. Ask it to reproduce a simple UI, even with a design system, and suddenly it’s like it has never seen a website before. Vibe coding is good at exactly the wrong part of software development :c

[Ignat @ignat_en]

@T_Zahil Yeah, total bullshit. Feeding your gf solves at least 80% of relationship problems

This is a wireframe for the future Combra app btw

[Ignat @ignat_en]

How was the OpenClaw app so bad when Claude can do this with a single prompt?
