What if you could turn your voice into a video game?

(try it for yourself 👇)

@matt_mcclure @davekiss No lie. Scariest person in the series. You have a smart girl.

[Will King @willking]

I got Ali to do this. She got the sweet teacher from Matilda. Clearly chat has never seen what she says on here.

...she's 100% the Trunchbull.

Based on your experience talking with me, reply only with the name of a character from a show/movie who is just like me.

Got Ted Lasso from ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok and Gemini gave me Tony Stark 😂

@iamdavidhill @opencode So either no space or newline?

[Stephen Haney @stephenhaney]

Good morning!

The Pen Tool is live in Paper

Draw shapes, generate SVGs, or vectorize images, and edit the points and paths.

Paper uses real SVGs so exports are 1:1, no surprises.

The new SVG workflow: create → refine → ship.

Try it out! And show us what you draw.

This can be done for design guidelines as well. Better safe guards get more people designing in production code, reliably.

[Aaron Francis @aarondfrancis]

Deterministic guards >>> AGENTS.md

My agent loves to hand roll checks for which we already have functions! So instead of yelling at it, I just had it write an ESLint guard

[Will King @willking]

@TasonJorres @jetbrains @mattdinniman So good. If there was someone in my friend group who was Carl it would be you.

[Will King @willking]

@davekiss Yeah it is always a close thing. That is why I am holding out on Sword in the Stone

Long live open code.

Working on a tool now that will be a registry not a package. Love this model.

[shadcn @shadcn]

You can now turn any GitHub repo into a registry.

Drop in a registry.json. Define your items. Install with the CLI.

Distribute components, utilities, config, docs, rules, design systems, workflows, agents, skills and more.

@joshpuckett Maybe I should clarify.

An expert using AI for a manufacturing process where the outcome is known ahead of time and can be measured can use AI to effectively to achieve that outcome.

[Will King @willking]

Two Reasons:

1.
AI is a solved problem when working on a process where the outcome is known and measurable. (aka manufacturing aka coding) Not the case in processes where the work discovers the outcome (aka creativity aka design)

2.
Design tools make money whether you use AI or not. Dev tools don't.

[Rahul Chakraborty @hckmstrrahul]

I have so far found zero videos/ads from the developer community trying to justify “code is not dead”, unlike the discourse on design

@ThePrimeagen Will of Many by James Islington

Can't believe I haven't seen it mentioned yet.

I have 20 other recommendations, but I would start with that.

[Will King @willking]

@ridd_design @alvishbaldha @operatecrm love Operate. Top tier creative team.

[Will King @willking]

@samgoodwin89 Also sick.

[Will King @willking]

@samgoodwin89 Sick.

@pqoqubbw @stevelauda_ 👀👀

[Will King @willking]

@jshguo Literally was tweeting this when I saw this.

Need to stop thinking of canvas as a place for manufacturing and as a place for exploration.

[Will King @willking]

@bradenkeith @saml_dev Rent a back hoe and they sounds like a party!

[Will King @willking]

You cannot reach "comical speed" without mastery.

The ceiling moves even higher, the value more obvious, and the demand greater for engineering and design expertise.
