I've been designing things a long time. Ex-@BrexHQ ex-@Square...

only the original designer OGs remember these…

New Mac Studios almost certainly coming out next week! My long-standing pre-order payment just got processed — and no receipt from Apple yet. @MacRumors

As one of the all-time biggest Apple fans, would any friends going to WWDC be able to snag me a white sweater?

Exclusive new Apple Park Visitor Center #WWDC26 merch drop today!!!🤩

I was first in the store this morning after the overnight reset! Here’s what Apple added:

🌈 Rainbow Garamond Crewneck
🚰 Apple Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Remember when the biggest debate among designers was "unsolicited redesigns"?

Funny how none of that freaking mattered.

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@jasonlk Let me be clear: I'm thankful for my time there. I worked with some incredible people (like @mattbango) and learned a lot. But I think the employees (especially those who came after me) would have benefited in the long run if the company had been more appropriately valued.

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@jasonlk When I was working at Brex, I remember thinking "We're a $12 billion company??? That seems... off." I sold the max of my options in that round and started looking for my next job shortly after.

ok but when does the black iphone come out

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@TylerGalpin haven't been on here in a while, was going through my friends list to see what everyone's been up to the last half-decade.

you're crushing it man. portfolio/work is awesome and inspiring. a reminder of the good ole days.

[Jarad Johnson @jdjohnson]

@sortino Deep Research and 4o image gen are the first two times I've watched a chunk of a lot of people's jobs evaporate overnight. Not the top tier researchers or designers, but a significant number of people in the lower tiers.

What would you evolve toward?

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

Designers, you have 3 years to pivot or evolve. Consider this your warning. https://t.co/7myRW4mGyo

[Ben Blumenrose @benblumenrose]

Designers who code will no longer “know enough code to be dangerous” but will be able to build end-to-end experiences.

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

Hey friends, I have a couple of friend's notable companies looking for senior/Principal designers, and they're willing to compensate appropriately. Retweet / DM me (confidential details can be provided in DM).

it would be funny if mstr needed a bailout one day… and then the govt gets their btc 🤔

[Sam Altman @sama]

a few months ago robinhood sent me a gold credit card with extremely high-quality details.

i thought it was a ridiculous marketing stunt at the time but now it’s an example i give when talking about great design.

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@rabois What did they do specifically?

[Chris Bakke @ChrisJBakke]

The next time you have imposter syndrome at work, just remember:

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

My future kid: “Daddy, why did the entire American financial system collapse?”

Me: “Because of a meme”

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@neversitdull @figma After trying many things to fix the problem, the solution that worked for me was going into Font Book settings and running the "Reset Fonts" command.

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@figma Figma is unable to read my fonts, and I've done everything imaginable to fix the issue, including:

- Reinstalled Figma + Figma font manager and used AppCleaner to remove temp files
- Restarted / Updated Mac / Etc
- Reinstalled fonts
- Checked permissions in Security settings for Figma to have access to folders (it does)

This problem just randomly started. What gives?

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@kyleanthony Everyone joked and laughed when the prediction was Uber would replace taxis.

Fast forward and Uber has replaced taxis. Yes, they still exist… but barely.

[Joshua Sortino @sortino]

@kyleanthony I want in. You didn't share a link!
