@putrikarunian @floguo This looks very cool!

[Salil @salilmalkan]

@MichaelFilipiuk I found I can design in code but it feels very different than on a canvas. Agents make a thing from a high level brief and then I treat it like a big chunk of rock to chisel into something coherent via small prompts.

The lack of cohesion across these is disappointing. None of these feel like an Apple product

[Quinn Nelson @SnazzyLabs]

omg I knew Apple’s second-party smart home accessories would carry a premium but every single one of these prices is insane

@dseemakurty I think of you as more than just that Dinesh 😂

[Salil @salilmalkan]

@nutlope Very cool! Would love to try it

[Salil @salilmalkan]

This is the way

[rauno @raunofreiberg]

I don't trust my output when it comes too "easy" ... there's no way I just happened to nail it with iteration #5

surely it takes at least one mental breakdown to make something great... so I always keep going and even try out the "shitty" ideas for benchmarking

[Salil @salilmalkan]

@iansilber Really excited to play with this

[Salil @salilmalkan]

@majouji @joshpuckett @withgraphical Bookmarked for the weekend 😇

[Salil @salilmalkan]

Strongly agree with this. Thinking on a canvas is as useful of a skill as ever.

Ultimately, it’s not Figma or prompting. It’s AND.

[rauno @raunofreiberg]

i spend more time in figma now than ever and i love it

noodling with frames. uncovering whats in my brain. finding the correct idea. and when it clicks into place it feels so satistfying

The irony of ownership in a company context is that usually it also requires sharing it with someone else and giving up some of it for your goals to move forward

The journalism we really need

[@levelsio @levelsio]

I analyzed the range of ratings on booking sites and it's pretty crazy

Airbnb goes just from 4.5 to 5 with a median of 5!

But most others aren't better, they all range from about 4 to 5, and almost all have a median of 4.25, with not many scores outside of it!

The best site in terms of honest ratings is actually Yelp, whatever they're doing it's working, it shows an actual normal distribution and ratings you can trust

Hotelist itself is a normal distribution with median at 3.5, which was my goal, most stays are average/okay which I'd consider 3.5/5

What a great idea to remember: “If you can burn out that means you can definitely also burn bright”

[Alex Socoloff @socoloffalex]

Here's my perspective and thoughts on burning out.

If you can burn out that means you can definitely also burn bright. Don't hesitate to take time for yourself in order to create something amazing after.

Keep learning, keep growing, keep shining motherf*ckers! 🔥

Most teams get scope backwards.

Scope isn’t an input to product development. It’s an output.

Your input is the problem. Figure out what a great solution requires. That’s your scope.

[Salil @salilmalkan]

Wait, what the hell. Opus 5.5 is crazy. I could have not have made this myself.

The annotation feature in Codex is such a game changer. Makes updating design details 100x easier.

[Oliver Ye @_isomerism]

the moat is literally just caring about your work and being proud of your output and holy shit it does not seem to apply to 99% of people

[Salil @salilmalkan]

There's something incredibly soothing about watching so many of these clips. https://t.co/KmN9C1yzv4

Very cool project @covacut
