“designing much faster than the others” — this so daft and makes it clear they don’t understand design at all. “Designing fast” (or slow) is just not a thing. If you conflate “producing ui by piecing together stuff” and “design” then the former (which is a form of assembly-line practice) can surely be fast or slow.
What makes the practice of design challenging is not how to put a ui or poster together, it’s what the pieces are, what the message is, what is being communicated, how it all works together.
So many of today’s “design” AI tools focus almost exclusively on the production part, on putting stuff together. I’d love to see an AI design tool that forms a deep understanding of a problem over the course of days or months and works like a creative partner. Call me on my bullshit, thinks about the whole, isn’t concerned really about the final arrangement of elements as much as it would understand the story and the message.
Revolut's designers are moving off Figma.
Storonsky spotted one team designing much faster than the others. What they did:
1. Gave an LLM Revolut's design system at the code level
2. Prompted it to build new flows on top of that system
3. Got a live interface they can click through on a laptop or phone, instead of static frames
Result: 3-4x faster. Now he's pushing it to every designer at Revolut.
His job, as he describes it: find what works in one team and spread it across the company.

Today we are launching @ObsessionDB, the realtime data warehouse for agents.
Your agents are hungry for data. Feeding them is getting expensive.
Your data warehouse wasn't built (or priced) for that.
We learned this the hard way. We scaled our last company to petabytes on ClickHouse and watched the infra bill go vertical.
So we built @ObsessionDB . The ClickHouse engine, rebuilt with compute and storage separated, so your infra scales with your agents instead of your bill.
100x faster and 20x cheaper than Snowflake and Databricks. Already live, processing trillions of rows a day.
Agents are just getting started...

Introducing open-git.com / @useopengit
No more wack ass GitHub UI, terrible agentic experience. We built all that in.
Seamless GitHub sync, agent provenance (see the agent prompts that went into the creation) and much more.
Now in closed beta, sign up and give us feedback!
This is what we’ve wanted in a git forge.
Built from the ground up for humans and agents.
No more bolted-on solutions. Live GitHub mirroring (more forges coming)
Autopilot that fixes your PRs when changes are requested or CI fails
Full agent provenance. We’re digging at the core of what code looks like in the agentic era. Waitlist is open → open-git.com
We’re just getting started.

come hang with me and some cracked design engineers!
would love to get a good group together for a fun/chill kickback, where we ARE NOT NETWORKING (big on this) we are getting to know each other and vibing out

Product people who have
a) deep experience with consumer products
*and*
b) spike on user empathy & creativity
find B2B products to be Easy Mode.
They tend to have a high success rate with B2B products
*as long as*
they commit to acquiring deep domain expertise. Many don’t.
