figma demand went up.
claude is now #2 in designer job posts.
so no, figma isnt dying.
the job just got a second tool and the same old problem: knowing whats actually good
Narrative violation: Demand for experience with @Figma has actually grown over the past three years
BUT, as of this spring, Claude is now the second most mentioned skill in designer JDs.
Times, they are a-changin’.
Designers may not be dropping Figma, but for the first time in a long time, designers are increasingly reaching for other tools too.

“everything is possible once you have a website of your own” is the most important thing i want people to know about personal websites
you can have a letterboxd, goodreads, AoTY, or anything else you can imagine — all running on a place you own and control
i want a letterboxd but instead of movies is magazine articles. like what if i have a lot of thoughts about the latest Atlantic cover story... what if i reread a 1998 harper’s story and thought it was lit… there’s a great newsletter called Last Week’s New Yorker but it isn’t enough… let a thousand flowers bloom

this might be the most unnecessary mac app i've ever built

Este artículo no estaba programado, pero con todo lo que ha pasado sentía que tenía que salir. Va de las interfaces que nadie ve y de cómo el buen diseño salva vidas en silencio.

Una de las mayores consecuencias de la IA es multiplicar el efecto Dunning-Kruger. Cualquier bartolo cree que puede hacer Windows en un par de tardes.
Las consultoras se van a hinchar a facturar arreglando las mamarrachadas que vamos a empezar a ver desplegadas en empresas.

I built a notes app inspired by the 80s, when software felt simple and snappy. It launches in 2.6ms.
I've taken notes for 10+ years, first in VS Code, then Obsidian. Sometimes I just want to jot down a thought and get back to work.
Here's Noted: noted.computer 🧵

Issues created in @linear by people and via MCP are up 400% this year.
Another fast growing trend: more customers are building their own internal agents and using Linear as the shared layer for workflows, communication and context between people and agents.
As teams move faster, connecting goals, requests, reasoning and the work matters more, even if it sometimes happens after the fact in the review.
Here is one customer oriented example we can do in our Linear:
- Pick a top-10 customer. Ask the agent for a brief of their top requests and the reasoning we've captured
- Write it to a doc in Linear and decide what to build with some people
- Have the agent turn the decisions into projects and issues, carrying the customer requests and meeting notes with them
- Teams send their agents to work on them
- At the QBR, ask agent to generate a report and show the customer what has actually landed or them, how and why
Now multiple these kind of workflows 100 or 1000 times where someone is learning something worth fixing, or trying ideas and finding beta customers for it. Or just aligning across the team or cross function.
Not posting our revenue chart, but it looks a lot like this one

If you work on education, homeschool your kids, want to learn something new… check this out.
You can use AI to create the coolest and most engaging explainers in the world. Grab a coding agent, ask it for an explainer, deploy it, share the link.
So many ideas can be derived from this. Imagine a platform of vetted visualizations by experts in each field. Games or quizzes where you repair or reassemble the systems. A prompt input to extend them…
And follow @DilumSanjaya!
Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time.
Made with Opus 5.5

One of the tricks I picked up from working at Google is a very simple way to make sure your interface feels on-brand:
Start with the core brand colour.
Let's say it's blue.
You create a palette of blue shades from light to dark, almost white to almost black, all with a blue tint.
The text isn't just pure white.
It's a very light blue.
The background isn't pure black.
It's a very dark blue.
Using these throughout the core elements will create an almost unnoticeable but present brand 'feeling' through the interface.
It works especially well for trading interfaces where the positive/negative colours can easily dominate, making it hard to incorporate your brand without it being jarring.
This technique works perfectly for any product and industry.
And if you're building with AI, you can just prompt it in:
"Take my brand's base colour and generate a tinted scale from near-white to near-black. Use those tints for every background, surface, border and text colour in the interface instead of pure greys."

here is another fun one -- inspired by @colderoshay's amazing portfolio -- i took this kinetic type idea for a spin on the canvas
you'll do your best work in a tool that allows you to be whimsical, too!
🔊🔊🔊 — lol i've lost hours building fun stuff like this with code layers…
@figma code layers starting to roll out into open beta TODAY! incredibly excited to see what you'll cook!

Head of Design at Stripe on how to stop creating zombie UIs
If we only use AI to make the things that we already make, just faster, then we're definitely missing out on the most interesting part.
From my talk at @lennysan’s Summit, here are four ideas for raising the ceiling, not just the floor:
- Have a point of view [5:38]
- Encode your standards into the machine [9:07]
- Don't confuse done with good [12:21]
- Unleash creativity and artistry [16:19]
