only boomers fix typos in prompts. llms perfectly understand you even if you mistype.

First FSD took over the highways. Now agents are taking over the information superhighway.

Slack set the bar for quality in enterprise products and yet this is how Stewart felt about it: "I feel like what we have right now is just a giant piece of shit. It's just terrible and we should be humiliated that we offer this to the public."

grug is probably the first Apple Design Award winner built by two designers using Codex to write the code. We didn't prompt "build me an award-winning app, make no mistakes.” It did not wake up one morning and decide the world needed grug. We did. We wanted to build it and AI was the tool that helped us take it all the way there. Ever since we started building with AI a few years ago, we got bolder. You stop killing ideas just because they sound too hard to build. You get weirder when trying things becomes cheap enough to be silly again. You start following the strange little thought further than you normally would. That is how grug happened. AI can write your code. It can help you move fast. It can make impossible things feel possible. But it cannot care. It cannot make your app memorable. It cannot make your app feel like it has a soul. You have to bring the taste. You have to stay incredibly close. You have to take small steps, make thousands of tiny decisions, throw away good-enough work to get to your best work, and protect the thing that made the idea worth building in the first place. grug would not have been this memorable if we didn't have Codex to go all-in on all the crazy ideas we had. If we had not decided to make the whole thing hand-drawn. If we had not spent days and nights obsessing over every detail, every animation, every interaction, every tiny bit of weirdness. That is the difference between slop and something with a soul. And I think that is why this award means so much to us. Not because what we were able to do using AI to build grug, but because Apple recognized the care we put inside all the weirdness. For the past 15 years, so many of our ideas stopped at the mockup. They were too weird, too small, too hard to explain, too expensive to build, too unlikely to survive a meeting. Now designers like us can build the fun little things. Designers like us can ship the crazy ideas. Designers like us can make unreasonable little things and see if the world cares. There are plenty of people who do not get grug. That is totally fine. We do not try to build for everyone, because when you do you end up building for no-one. The people who get grug really get it. And if it makes their morning feel a little lighter, that is all that matters to us. Make the weird thing. The right people will find it. grug no wait for permission. grug back sun rise.

The more capable AI gets, the more expensive it becomes to not know what you want.

which voice transcription app has the smallest delay between pressing a button to activate it, and being able to speak?

I'd bet something like this gets launched in the next 3-6 months.

A lot of hate for the new Ive/Matas designed Ferrari. I think if it was an Apple car, it would be loved. The exterior doesn't feel 'Ferrari'. But IMO the interior control design is far more important for most people. I was never going to buy a $640k Ferrari, but I hope many of the brilliant knobs and controls are copied.

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

TIL: Granola has lots of great recipes like this one (and others from @lennysan @nikitabier)

People joke “nobody’s going to vibe code their own Salesforce,” but it’s been surprising in the best way to see just how much people can now build for themselves. Ben built his own version of Superhuman. I built my own podcast player. I'd assumed both projects would be "too big" to vibe code, but nope!

This reading hack always seemed to work, but it was never worth paying/subscribing to a tool that offered it. rapidreading.lovable.app/

Trying to get Codex pilled and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but very little seems to work as expected. The browser seems mostly unusable: I can't open multiple tabs, can't log into sites with a google account...help?

Start spending all my time in Claude Code, upgrade to the max plan… then watch everyone get Codex-pilled… and now people are like, “actually I’m back in Cursor” 🫠

if you asked me what superpowers i wanted five years ago i would’ve said clone myself, learn anything instantly, and compress time, and now i can do all three and it turns out superpowers only count if nobody else has them
