00:00 - 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
00:00- 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 ➡️
00:00 - 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™
