The new Liquid Glass looks amazing, and killing the inset sidebar is a great move

Feels like most of the rest of the MacOS changes are small tweaks like quicker app launching, tweaked icons and display rendering, faster AirDrops, optimized CPU scheduler. So, you know... a software update 🤓

the thing i'm most excited about in macOS 27 is that they're doing away with that godforsaken floating liquid glass sidebar.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

So proud of this new site. Straightforward, readable, calm. You should go check out everyone else's website in our industry. The usual suspects. Can anyone tell the difference between them? It's like they've been all been sucked into the same black hole and hit their own singularity. No differentiation. Identical messaging. Wild claims of helping you achieve a 24/7 AI work fantasy. Really? There's that much work that needs to happen behind your back while you're sleeping? Since when? And who created that illusion? Agents with creepy masks and emotionless faces? What? The cosplay is something else.

People understand that LLMs aren't actually "thinking," right?

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

overcooking you've seen this: someone ships a dashboard that shows every number with a sparkline, every action has a confirmation modal, every empty state has an animated illustration and a tagline. individually each decision made sense to someone. together it feels like chaos. nothing is in focus. that's overcooking. not one bad decision in isolation, but the accumulation of reasonable ones that no one said no to. AI makes this worse as the cost of adding dropped to near zero. it can build a feature, even a whole new concept in minutes. so people do. and then they do it again. the thing that started with a clear purpose slowly becomes a collection of additions that are each justifiable but collectively incoherent. the root problem is that most "new ideas" aren't new. they're repackaging of something that already exists at a more fundamental level. a new sticker on an old concept. it feels like progress because something changed, with a new word and skin – but the thinking didn't go deeper, it just duplicated itself into confusion. the whole has a core. you feel it once you understand the whole system. everything in it are related and balanced. when you overload it, that gravity weakens. not because any one thing is wrong – but because attention is finite and you force it everywhere. what we need aren't more tools that make more slop. it's seeing through the chaos, and returning to what the thing actually is, and cutting everything that doesn't serve that. that's harder now, not easier. because there's always something else you could add with one more prompt.

If you've been on X for more than 5 mins today, you'd think Figma was dead. But if you spent another 5 mins into looking into Claude Design, you'd realize it's the exact same product we had access to before, but with a different UI.
