And just to be clear, I’m not against AI, I love it, and it’s impressive what we can do with it.

But because everything is moving so damn fast, having screen-off time and doing things like sketching, painting, walking, connecting with people, traveling (if possible), etc, are examples of how to get inspired and stay creative.

The new Apple Music logo animation is a true example of creativity in this everything AI world.

I just watched Disclosure Day, and it's terrible as fck. I was expecting a lot from it, and honestly, it was a mess.

Having agents and letting them do some work, everything just using my phone, it’s a feeling that I can’t describe. Crazy times.

Where’s the Latino product design community in NYC?

Tons of design (and some super exclusive) meetups and I haven’t seen one 😮‍💨

Between Twitter, discord communities, slack communities, muse, grok bots, Claude, and emails, my attention span is struggling.

@zendadddy My friend, we need to have a serious conversation about this…

[Juan Pastén @volocake]

I'm at a conference right now, and it's interesting to see how every person behaves and interacts: some more casual, some more transactional, and a few who are curious and have a warmer conversation.

Hey @F1, this race is so damn boring.

New genre that I felt in love with: Chino-Latino Jazz

Something so simple, and already so good, just got even better. Design really is never finished, and that's the best part.

@Stanmx Uuhhh Medium, siento que todos se fueron de ahí y se cambiaron a Substack pero para monetizar

Random question, is there a way to know why my 5hr session got consumed by just running one simple prompt? The prompt was basically telling Opus 5 to swap a UI component in an Android app.

And just like that, I crossed paths with Laurie Hernandez

I don’t understand the people who are running in SoHo… tourist + traffic + influencers + models + more people
