Looking for a team of 10-12 cracked researchers & engineers to build a new AI Lab in India. Funding and compute secured. DMs open.

🤖 What if success wasn’t measured by speed, scale, and growth—but by meaning, trust, and care? At DesignUp, Lauren Celenza challenged our assumptions about AI, sustainability, and what remains uniquely human in a world of automation. 🎥 Watch her talk: youtube.com/watch?v=fXDiPmEQ…

I estimate half the people who saw my tweet below still haven’t checked out this @bchesky episode with @patrick_oshag so here’s a reminder to every product person aiming to operate at the highest levels of their craft: if you listen to 1 episode this whole year, make it this one.

So true.

Wow didn't expect this quick experiment to go so viral. Over 100k views, appreciate you all. Here's a quick breakdown on the exact prompt I used:

a design tool where it's all code under the hood, so AI agents love working alongside you in the canvas graphics, slides, animations, shaders, web pages... all that stuff try it → efecto.app (sorry for the potato sound video)

Fable 5 is out - cue another round of “Design is dead” and “Designers are cooked”

No foodie influencers were harmed in this video 🙃 #justforlaughs

Design is full of codewords. Knowing them changes what you can ask for, and what you can get back, whether you're working with devs, or an AI. “tint this neutral color”, “fix this widow”, “nudge it to the optical center” I wrote them down: index.how/to/articulate

On a serious note, the last the time we had Design Principles in the HIG was much too long ago. With the help of the Apple design team they are back and completely refreshed. Please take a moment with them. We’re in an era where the responsibility of being a designer is more important than ever and hope these principles help guide you as much as they guide us. developer.apple.com/design/h…

lol. I’m flattered.

⏰ Tomorrow’s the day. DesignUp 2026 Early Bird passes go live in <24 hours. Super Early Birds vanished fast—this is your next shot at the best price for our 10th anniv in BLR. Set your alarms. 26.designup.io

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.

Crazy times in design industry. Wanted to write/rant a bit about something i’ve been noticing a lot. It’s wild seeing people with 🔔 ka real experience with AI, launching AI & design courses. You learnt the terms like PRs, Git, merge…..only a few weeks ago, calm down. Take time to master things yourself. …… Saw someone selling a pdf for “how to crack interviews at top design companies”… for companies they couldn’t crack themselves. The confidence🫡 I remember when things like this used to get called out on design twitter. Now it’s just… normal. Feels like when things don’t work out or are boring, people pivot to building an audience… and when that doesn’t stick, they start selling courses. Very few people genuinely post about what they learnt or post their work casually, repost a insightful YT link, share a doodle or wireframe Mostly, it’s just purpose driven, like “ - - hey self, i learnt a minor skill today,,, how do i magnify it as as something that people like it and end up giving me money - - Atleast followers to badhe “ Everyone’s chasing attention. Very few are building actual depth. And the cost? Early designers who are already anxious about AI and cracking a job end up paying for noise. If you’re a well learned and experienced designer who mentors and gives interpersonal advice to aspiring designers. I salute you. No matter if your service is paid or for free. You’re taking out time for this, it’s commendable. For people who are still early and are liking the attention when someone gives you importance coz you have followers and they assume you might know things. Please stop answering and stretching it out as an habit by launching courses. There is a lot to learn. Be responsible. ☺️

It comes from a lack of understanding of what design does. The first casualty was actually code. Devs need to learn how to design because code execution is a speck in the build process now. They assume design is the same, but it’s not. And this is why AI product slop exists.
