Pigeon Shot in PynkPyrl flies from point to point in your pinboard, perches, looks around, then moves on & repeat. Did not expect to love it as much as I do. Simple example using just my Q SVG and default color/lighting settings. #buildInPublic #shaders #design #3DDesign

My PynkPyrl shader toolset continues to grow, making it more badass. Can't wait to see how people use these tools. #shaders #design #uiDesign #threeJS #3D #buildInPublic #comingSoon #aiDesigner #aiDirector

Curse of Knowledge: because you know, doesn't mean they will. Builders know every button, feature & shortcut. New users see mystery icons, guess… & leave. Where have you run into this? 👇 See more at howtospeakdesigner.com - Now with sound! #design #curseofknowldge

This is f*cking insane. Anthropic engineer: "Prompting is basically over 95% of our engineers already run self-improving loops. The next step is graphs" In just 10 minutes, she builds her whole Claude Code setup live, starting from an empty terminal Empty Terminal → Agents → Loops → Graphs → Self-Improving System Prompting was the old workflow. Engineering the system around the model is the new one Worth more than most $1,000 agent engineering courses Bookmark and watch it today Then read the "Harness, Loops, Graphs" guide below and see which layer you're on ↓
Your agent is not autonomous You are its loop You check every step because nothing else in the system can I broke down the 7 levels from babysitting agents to running a fleet ↓
