Every time you’re tempted to slack off or do or be a little less than you could, remember that you are a person of integrity who lives by the simple creed: do what you said you would do, when you said you would do it, the way you said you would do it.

There’s something black mirror-ish about this

JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity x.com/palmerluckey/s…

Random: @ogbeniseyi’s mind is a whole universe. One of my favorite things about collaborating with him is that he thinks about constraints and consequences of care in design. It’s actually so rare to find a designer with reputation (and autonomy) reduce surface areas to go deeper

Not sure if I can articulate it correctly. It has increased my trust in him simply because I know that I can bring anything to him and he’d immediately think about what it means for the audience/reception of that artifact GOAT 👑

June 2021, was telling a friend about being rejected at Facebook. 5 months later, I got another shot Don’t give up!

Back in 2021 I interviewed at Vercel and I failed badly. I couldn’t implement a debounce function and was stuck for like 30 minutes. It was pretty embarrassing. 10 months later (2022) I interviewed again and got the job. Don’t give up!

Is it crazy that I want him to win a Grammy for any visual rap related category at some point? I feel like he genuinely goes above and beyond when it comes to his videos, I don’t know any other rap nigga doin it like him as of recent besides a few honorable mentions.

This DM composer on this app needs another rework, but this time for actual use

I think AI has become quite good at making decks look good, but visual composition is only one part of presentation design. The craft is in information design, storytelling, and art direction

We gave the whole team a Grok Bot that knows our brand. Now anyone can make a great deck in seconds, and I don't have to worry if someone is using the wrong font.

It's also knowing how to structure an argument, knowing what to emphasize, what to leave out, and how to make information meaningful. AI can assist with these decisions, but it doesn't consistently demonstrate the judgment required to make something really tasteful

Same thing applies for vibe coded websites with no art direction from the creator

Studio sessions are so cool. Just having people around enjoying the process of making music, vibing, experimenting and showing off a little. I wish something similar existed for design. Just people coming together to make cool stuff, have fun and appreciate each other’s craft

I’m sorry - should have been clearer. It was about Meg Thee Stallion’s declared goals / vision-boarding. Achieved her goal 15 years after first declaring it is “Wow” for me.

Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer. And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety. Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight. So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖 Hiring? My DMs are open.
