Last Friday, I hosted Design Demo Nights 4 and here's the roundup of the demos showcased.

Hey so I’m doing a workshop at @VizChitra. Tickets are on sale now 👇🏼

INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT

Spend 30 minutes with this.

A speech by the Head of Anthropic's Coding Agents research team that teaches you more about vibe coding than 100 paid courses ever could.

This is not a tutorial.

This is the person who actually builds the system explaining how it works from the inside.

Most people learning to vibe code are learning the surface.

This goes underneath it.

30 minutes tonight.

The people who watch this will build differently tomorrow.

Completely free.

Bookmark this before you open Netflix 👇

Edition 2 of ‘Design Demo Nights’ was a blast! 32 people and 9 demos, and the conversations continued into dinner, chai and paan.

@anuj Yeah, it was excellent, used last year in Amsterdam, only problem is getting them to add additional funds later was quite slow.

The trouble with a fancy doorbell is… delivery executives stand outside the door and make a phone call because they’re afraid to touch it.

I put a bell icon on it. No luck. Maybe I need a bigger bell icon and a giant arrow pointing to the button.

It feels like my life before becoming a parent was just the tutorial.

“What would you do if you didn’t have to worry about money?”

The same exact thing but exclusively for barter, charity, and vibes.

talking about process like you're a damn design textbook is by far #1 mistake i often see

❌ "first i did research, then i facilitated a workshop, then i talked to 3 users, then i drew wireframes, and voila, final design!"

✅ "i first tried X, but we learned Y, so i explored Z"

The designer urge to leave mainstream design and do art 🥺

(Please don't reply with "design is art", "you can do both", just don't)

I love a great whine

And with this, have a wonderful weekend everybody! 🧡

[Kevin Clark @kevinclark]

Backed! This is such a great project, made by good people. If you’re into design (or know someone who is) you should absolutely back this too!

“I cannot believe JavaScript is so popular. It’s a terrible language with rules that change all the time, is confusing to learn, contains no beauty, and wins based on its sheer popularity.”

He said… in English

I see the design school vs ‘self-taught’ argument often and what folks miss is that these are both paths within the same journey. You can skip school and pursue the craft on your own or you can go to school to pursue the craft.
