immediate reactions to ios 27 beta 1: new Liquid Glass visuals are a big improvement new icons seem like they could use more refinement I now have a persistent badge on Messages that I would not wish on my worst enemy

Got to work with @supercgeek on an icon for a very nice feature launching in Codex today: Appshots. (much more than just a screenshot!)

I think this is worth some nuance. In recent history, many companies have employed 'product designers' whose primary activity and output has been the creation of software interface facsimiles, e.g. mockups in a drawing tool like Figma. Those making mockups have of course been doing more than just that, to varying extents leading or more commonly participating in the process of deciding what to build and why. But there was value in that tangible output itself. I think @gokulr is directionally correct that the role of someone whose primary output is the creating of an interface mockup is quickly disappearing. But the role of someone who figures out what needs to exist, why, how it should work, how it should should be positioned, differentiated and made memorable has never been more in demand. I speak with founders on a near weekly basis (many of them in Gokul's own portfolio) desperate for this kind of person. His conclusions though I agree with almost entirely: there will always be an opportunity to specialize in the creation of visual interfaces, but more broadly most product designers who want to be employees (totally fine) should take on more responsibilities that have historically been done by PMs or Engineers, to varying degrees. From my POV, this is just what a product designer is and what we should have been doing the whole time, but that's another post.

now are you feeling it?

I thought working at a frontier lab would make it easier to stay on top of ai news...

truly feels like Codex can just do anything I ask it to now

if you're like me you gotta be curious... what's it like designing at OpenAI? so today's episode is a deep dive with their Head of Product Design @iansilber 🤿 youtube.com/watch?v=oM1d9Tau… Some highlights: ◇ What it's like designing ChatGPT ◇ The traits of the best systems thinkers ◇ What makes their design culture unique ◇ The vision for their dynamic interface library ◇ What it's like designing with AI as a material ◇ How tools like Codex are changing the practice of design a Iot more

Excited to launch ChatGPT Voice in CarPlay

i'm so excited for what comes next

After many years of development, I’m excited to share the interior of the first electric Ferrari designed by LoveFrom. Tactile controls and digital interactions blend into one cohesive interface, shaped through deep collaboration across engineering, interaction, graphics, typography, sound, and industrial design. So incredibly proud of the thoughtfulness and care the team brought to every detail. ferrari.com/en-US/auto/ferra…

Glad to have been able to contribute a very small piece to this project

Excited to join the @OpenAI design team today

AI can now do it for me 😮‍💨

Great to see the final project I worked on at Linear ship. Rearrange the tab bar, create new tabs, make Linear yours. Excited for the team to keep pushing the app further.

Favorite recent use of Codex: - pull data from my Apple Music library with a two decade old mess of genre metadata - use MusicKit to pull in proper Apple Music genre metadata - write an Apple Script to update genres with the data from Apple's catalog 💆🏻‍♂️
