still the most useful tool i have built with AI. long press to speed up your Loom video playback. chromewebstore.google.com/de…

this kind of blew up. it shows who people are... reading the comments all i know is i would rather be the person to cheer people on than be the person tearing people down. i hope that mean dig makes you feel big friend... sounds like you need it.

if you work from home and have the yard space, I can't recommend a backyard office enough. Built mine 3 years ago for under $20k all-in. best work-life upgrade I've ever made.

Design Engineering Tip Consider letting textareas grow with the content instead of introducing nested scrolling. It often creates a smoother writing experience and keeps forms easier to scan. CSS: textarea { field-sizing: content; }

You can now host Astro and Next.JS apps on their own domains right in @webflow. This may seem small but it is a huge feature that my team has been working on the last couple months. Excited for what this could become.

The fallacy of this is that more creates more. More hours, more hiring, more something. And it is true in a sense. If you put in more work, more work will happen. But I think for most startups, the leverage is really in how differently you approach the problem, how well you cultivate your team, and the strategy. Any large company can outspend you on hours. They have thousands or tens of thousands more people, spending more hours. If hours worked were the metric, every large company and government organization would always win and do the best work. More hours, better output. This thinking is often representative of younger founders, where the startup becomes their identity and life. They have a hard time doing anything else, and cannot understand that your work is not the person that is you. But activities outside of work can grow you as a person too and make you do better work. I’ve never worked this way. As a designer, I always saw the need to take a step back, to take a break. At times, I might work 12 hours or 16 hours, or whatever amount was needed, but it wasn’t the norm. You just can't grind design, you need inspiration. But taking that step away from the work, would give me more perspective, inspiration and I could approach the problem differently or I could just see the solution. Grinding is never good for any creative problem, and startups or creating new products are often mostly about creative problem solving. Grinding works ok for email jobs, or where you just executing on very clear playbook. With Linear, we’ve never worked this way. We work reasonable hours, 5 days a week. All of us founders have families. Many of our employees have families. I personally stop every evening, spend time with the family, cook dinner for the family, eat dinner together, and focus on things outside of work. Sometimes I work in the late evenings or weekends, but to me the pride is that I don’t need to. Company should be succesful without it. My goal is to build a company that is sustainable in the long term, and doesn’t require heroics or personal sacrifices every single day. There are times when our team is heroic. Launches, incidents, some other work that just needs to be done. They will work late into the night because they know it is the right thing. But we don’t require that every day or every week, and the more this happens, the more I think it is a failure of our company and leadership. The team and the leaders should always keep a reserve to use when something is needed. Our thinking was also that quality, which we value, doesn’t emerge from working more or stressing people more. It emerges when you create the conditions for it to emerge. Often it is the appreciation, space, time, and how the person feels. A person who is rested will do better work. I wouldn’t attribute much of our success to working a lot. The success came from having clear thinking, ideas, and focus to do the right things. I sometimes wish we could move the culture more toward a Zen master. Real mastery is not exerting the most effort. It is achieving the outcome with the least necessary effort.

what is the next GitHub?

It’s been a heavy week. Webflow went through a restructuring, and a lot of brilliant, and wonderful people lost their jobs. If you’re looking for talented Product Designers, Content Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers let me know 🙏

digging through Slack to see which accounts are deactivated is becoming a tech norm that I hate.

i’m tired. we’re all tired.

thought you went viral? think again sweetie

what is going on here Google?

I don’t understand when high earning remote employees don’t invest in a decent webcam/mic set up.

where do I buy clothes now that Everlane sold?

this is a website docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I’m a big fan of Claude Code. I’ve been using it exclusively for a couple months... I spun up Cursor last week and it felt like going from an old computer to a new one. The output wasn't as tight but I was able to iterate so much faster. Anyone else experience this?

We updated our loading screen to for Star Wars day. The best part, this wasn’t done by an engineer. @adrocknaphobia made it in a product org builder day!

Build anything you can describe with AI code components, now available to all Webflow customers. Need a pricing calculator? A job board? An interactive quiz? Tell the AI Assistant what you want, and it generates a working code component directly on your page. It's automatically styled to match your site — fonts, colors, spacing — so it looks right from the start. Then refine it with AI or open the code editor for full control. And with shared libraries, you can drop AI code components into any site. No rebuilding from scratch. To celebrate the launch, we’re kicking off a two-week Builder Challenge in our Community Homebase. The prompt: Generate an AI code component natively in Webflow and share what you built. That’s it! Every participant is automatically entered into a raffle to win: - 1 Webflow Conf ‘26 Ticket - 3, $100 gift cards - Plus, an opportunity to be featured as a use-case on webflow.com This is a new way to build for the web — faster, more flexible, and built around your ideas. → See what you can build with AI code components: wfl.io/42C7E9o → Enter the Builder Challenge: wfl.io/4dfqiKm
