    a tiktok-like wikipedia app that learns from you (wip). 

kickstart your feed by listing your interests, or simply entering your twitter username. from there, the algorithms learns from your swiping behavior!

    best way to get hired: tweet side projects related to where you want to work want to join a design tool company? design a mini one. want to build agents? make a small one and tweet it. people will share your work in slack and need zero imagination to picture you at the company

    Twitter's For You page is so annoying that I've started to filter out bad tweets myself (ironically using AI)

    vibe coding's strange side effect: i'm losing interest in lots of software side projects that now take a few hours bore me; websites with shaders or retro ui don't hit what's still exciting: where tokens don't go — exceptional design, complex algorithms, and proof of humanity

    We hear tables in @figma are hard, and we agree. Here's how we leveraged our internal design tools to create a more seamless workflow for designers across the @DesigningUber team ➡️

    I feel such a disconnect between the AI design tools I see and what’d actually meaningfully impact how I work as a Product Designer. It’s like everyone is reducing design to the last 1% that is drawing the UI instead of what’s actually hard: thinking, aligning with humans, etc.

    incredible book. don’t read if you don’t want to obsess over work, learn great number theory lore, or be encouraged to jump on planes to collab with friends

    I'm sorry to hear you didn't really read much this year... Maybe things would've been better if you had BookTok: the reading app for the distracted generation™
