Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?

Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

https://t.co/Nb8rOAGO4T is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.

Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

@atrupar AirBnb isn't outlawed in NYC - and there's a 30-day min stay for full units. Lack of meaningful gov't intervention has led us to this situ, and taxing second homes, vacant homes, and billionaires would help. Also Bezos plays a sig lower amount of taxes compared to his income.

Mark your calendars: NYC beaches officially open for the season on May 23. Get ready for boardwalk walks, post-swim snacks, ocean breezes, and long summer days by the water!

@koshercockney I love that the quoted tweet version of this which rips you apart is getting a lot more engagement. Really restores my faith in humanity.

it’s wild how much of the world felt illegible before AI tools. like — choosing health insurance and understanding taxes.

full of jargon, complex to research, a lot of manual comparison, etc.

@amanmathur_ Ahh would love to try!

@theShaneLevine @tryramp Personally, I prefer starting in Figma and ending with a vibe-coded prototype for sharing w the team, testing and iterating till final eng hand-off. Also a great way to flag and solve for edge cases. (2/2)

@theShaneLevine @tryramp This feels overly prescriptive/restrictive, counter to the agility needed in the world of AI, esp w how quickly things are evolving and how much designers need to adapt. I’ve also seen this workflow produce a lot of boring, derivative designs. (1/2)

Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.

When people tell me AI is going to steal my job, I'm like, okay, she can have it??? Good luck, girl

Over the past two months, my most impactful move as a design manager has been encouraging and supporting every designer to start building with Claude Code.

Designers used to create a “source of truth” in Figma which was used for QA and accountability.. if anything was wrong, you’d point to the designs and say, “This is how it’s supposed to look.” The designers would take this artifact hand it off to engineers to build another “source of truth” on GitHub that would become the repo where other engineers can fork and build on top of.

Now — the designer creates the source of truth on GitHub, and it’s closer to “the designs” because it is the designs. Less gets lost in translation, and everyone speaks in code. Figma remains useful for napkin sketches and quick visual experiments, but we are clearly moving beyond Figma as the primary document.

The hardest part is getting set up—it’s daunting and scary leaving the things you love behind. People just need a little bit of emotional support to get started. But after taking the leap, everyone is feeling empowered and excited. They are all literally 10x’ing their productivity. The worst part is that engineers are a bit overwhelmed because they have way more PR’s to review.
