product & creative director | did some @ Apple, Meta | building collective live brAIns for startups

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

just discovered a new way to ship prototypes for some friends:
1. create your design system as a .md
2. one file per colour, typo, CTAs, etc
3. one .md to explain what's the product
4. hand over to Claude Design. proto done
5. export the html, refactor with CC
rince, reuse 😊

@Scobleizer @IrenaCronin @digg you always have been like an old brother who had experienced shit and talk to me with patience and kindness. Take care, we’re all explorers

@romanbuildsaas Goji goji!

@mattpocockuk I strongly believe that AI-design is close to the way we frame coding skills. I document almost all parts of my deign thinking, give strong rules in .md format like colours, typography and CTAs.
in return, the time spent into those frames create artefacts that are consistent

@karrisaarinen made a little calculation: on a $200 sub per month, Anthropic subsidies $4.600 if you’re maxing out your time.
not sustainable. Someone has to pay

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@jeremybernier I can testify that was what I experienced at Meta, not the whole, but similarly management that do not want to understand your job, work that is crazy complex… weekly with Mark on visio talking to his cult…

@benblumenrose got the coffee, no meetings, Slack status: reading AiiD26

@claudeai how many startups died today 🫣

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@_sholtodouglas @amorriscode I’m bilingual, and use CC for my work on Obsidian. If I ask it to write in French instead of English, it does weird sentences, mix tons of English words. So I switch to Claude, ask it to rewrite and output gets better ish

@businessbarista Ai nativ 🤛

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@lennysan @Nerdi_Yogi product designer/engineers using CC are unstoppable, link that with a strong kaparthy-wiki brain, a sense of what users love... 👀

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

made me laugh for a long minute

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@ndrewpignanelli love this!

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@Scobleizer ok, so we're aligned hehe... now to build such hardware/OS/"appgent" is the most exiting part
if Apple want to do something only Apple do, the future is bright

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@Scobleizer my understandings about an OAI phone is the AppStore as we know it could be replaced by an open market of agents? or I don't get it?

[Johan Adda @YokoAdda]

@karrisaarinen designers watching that 💩 show...

@bcherny testing it atm, got a question for you. How does CC evaluate this 2h work? Is it accurate?
