@_joelmllr @meetgranola Congrats mate!

@tomjohndesign Fair, and this is definitely where I still use Figma - but I just prefer it to be ignorant of the data (to some extent). Anyway, always interested to hear more about process from one of the top designers in the game. ✌️

[Jay Gunson @jgunson]

@tomjohndesign I’m speaking purely to your point around designing data heavy applications - much easier to work directly with the data in its current form (strings, Booleans, enums etc.) vs. extract it and manage it in an entirely new one (layers, frames, etc.).

[Jay Gunson @jgunson]

@tomjohndesign Interesting, personally I’ve found wrangling 1000s of layers / frames more difficult. Now of course you can invest in components and tokens, but that already exists in code.

@rsms @karrisaarinen @ryolu_ As always, and with everything, it depends. 🤣

@threepointone Lovely stuff. Cheers!

@tomjohndesign Just your average day when you design software for a living. Welcome to the grumpy old man club. 😆

[Jay Gunson @jgunson]

@tomjohndesign AI design tools aren’t (yet) capable of production UI/UX, at least not for those with taste. But this is too narrow. If, via AI, the medium shifts from vectors to code, why not design in code? AI is redrawing the boundaries of design and we should take up the mantle of frontend.

[Jay Gunson @jgunson]

@ryolu_ @cursor_ai This x1000. I’ve been building / coding my entire “design career”, it’s just now with tools like @cursor_ai I can go much further, and with the necessary elements that the rest of my (any) engineering team requires (i.e. with testing, performance, security, etc. accounted for).

[Jay Gunson @jgunson]

@soleio @benblumenrose The talent stack is collapsing before our eyes. @scottbelsky is right. Exciting time to be alive.

[Jay Gunson @jgunson]

@_joelmllr @maxvoltar @rogie @lbudorick Looks mustard. Top work to you and the team.

@thenickpattison Love this. Feel like we need an @figma football (soccer) game over in Beach Chalet… who’s with me?

@kenwheeler Sign. Me. Up.

Just moved here from the UK and for the life of me I can’t find a carpeted pub with a dart board, and some god awful / angel derived lager for £2.20.

Bring back “shit, but knows it” as a vibe.
