Great read. This applies to most governments around the world.

Some like Singapore are more efficient around certain items. Efficiency of decisions could also be polarizing but it does create more business certainty.

Inter-ministerial collaborations happen for cases like Covid-19, tackling employment and other bigger items.

An organization can’t always operate on code red mode, but the muscle for proper operations needs to flow.

@aryanvichare10 congrats!

Today, we’re unveiling a suite of code-backed primitives that raise the ceiling of what’s possible in the @figma canvas:

- code repos as layers
- shaders
- motion
- weave tools
- generative plugins

All orchestrated by AI agents and natively composable.

people's lives will never be the same (and neither will the sf costco).

congrats to justin, raymond, & team for the hard work! seeing to joy they put into building has been a delight.

It's been 3 years since AI exploded, but nobody's life has improved outside of Silicon Valley.

Tomo is for real humans, like my little brother Lucas

and 10,000 other humans taking a chance on themselves every single day.

@o__jerry__o hype!

"Design vs code" is a false dichotomy.

What we're working towards at Figma: freeform design AND prototyping with code AND shipping to production

... all in one connected, collaborative and visual first platform.

[Matthew Lee @matthewlee626]

design in code and code in design and design in code and code in design

[Figma @figma]

Figma Make, now on your local code

In limited beta starting today, you can visually edit and ship changes by connecting Make to your codebase

At Figma, we use our products to design in every way: design layers, prototypes, and now, production code

[Matthew Lee @matthewlee626]

@jediahkatz @AsadFromNYC there's a city out there that has a lot of this all year long

[Figma @figma]

wdym of course there’s an agent right on the design canvas that’s fluent in Figma and native to the way your team works

@spenceryang @NotionHQ sick!

[Spencer Yang @spenceryang]

I’m a One Piece fan, so we turned @NotionHQ into a trading card vault.

For the Notion hackathon in SF, we built Grand Line Vault: a Notion-first One Piece TCG collection OS.

You can scan a card into Notion, enrich it automatically, track collections across friends, visualize wishlists / duplicates / set completion, and ask a Slack-connected Notion Agent:

“what did I just scan?”
“show my OP-01 cards”
“simulate a battle between Spencer and Waffle”

Notion Workers + Agents make Notion feel less like a doc tool and more like a personal app platform.

We open sourced it too.

Would you use Notion as the interface for a collector app like this?

[Matthew Lee @matthewlee626]

@simonguozirui so cool!

[Matthew Lee @matthewlee626]

@emguoz forkable friend has excellent taste with lomo saltado

[Alex Kern @kernio]

Design and code are converging on a shared discipline, where the mechanical parts are disappearing and what’s left is curiosity and decision making.

I sat down with @guiseiz to chat about what the future holds for builders!

Many folks seem to be confused, and think the collapse of the CS major graduation numbers at Berkeley could be linked to the "AI is taking SWE jobs" hysteria narrative. Here's the easiest way to see that this is false: the timeline doesn't fit.

The graduating class in 2027 (first small CS cohort graduating) has students who arrived on campus as freshmen in Fall 2023, with freshman admission targets set (i.e. shrunk) by the university in Fall 2022. So, the hysteria narrative obviously doesn't match the timeline; ChatGPT didn't even come out until November 2022.

Now consider the plot below; orange curve is what % of bachelor's degrees are CS degrees each year at Berkeley, and blue curve is what % of applicants applied to be a part of that graduating year, intending to be a CS major in their application (combining both junior transfer and freshman applicants). In other words:

* orange measures CS graduate production
* blue measures CS demand (via % of all applications to the university)

What do you notice? The collapse in orange (CS grads) isn't because of a collapse in blue (demand). In fact it's the opposite: orange collapsed at a time when blue was going up. 1/

@jediahkatz congrats! fun times again 🚀
