OH in a meeting today
“I don’t use AI in Figjam. Figjam is where I come to get away from AI and think with my brain.”
"For all the noble language around craft and care, the discipline’s main job is usually just to help grease the engine of consumption – with better kerning."
A proper cynical take on our profession, from Dense Discovery densediscovery.com/issues/41…
Neil's a good one, I'd recommend this opp based on that alone.
I’m helping a client find a designer for an exciting opportunity in the AI design tooling space.
The work is hands-on: taking AI-generated designs and bringing the craft, judgment, and finishing touches that make them feel considered. Looking for someone with strong visual instincts and an interest in how AI is changing design.
Contract to start, ideally full-time, though part-time could work. Reach out or send someone my way!
It’s become a place to host our code and bots to talk to each other about said code. Literally can’t remember the last commit or comment I saw on GH from a human.
Love how @TheSeanGoodwin's portfolio has a video for a logo. Click it and he talks about what he believes and how he works.
As a hiring manager, case studies tell me what someone can do. Hearing Sean talk tells me a lot about how he'd be to work with. seangood.win/

These fonts tell me that AI designed your site.
Redesigning my portfolio as a manager was hard.
My old one was all craft. Now that's only half the job. The other half is hiring, coaching, and helping a team ship. That doesn't screenshot well.
Honored to join other design leads walking the same line: leadershipfolios.com/

Good humans,
I wrote a book. Took me 10 yrs.
Share it with anyone who wants to understand the minds they're designing for and the mind they're designing with.

Portfolios should show how you think, not just what shipped. +1 if you have opinions on what AI should & shouldn't do.

My friend Alfred just shipped his first video game called OMG (Overhead Micro Game)! Single-screen puzzle action with lasers, switches, and creatures. Think Zelda meets Pacman. It's on Steam and the App Store for three bucks: linktr.ee/freddicusgames
I’m coding more (using AI but avoiding the slop) and using and using Figma less (only for general direction, not as source of truth). That and more in my next newsletter sending Tuesday. Sign up here: tedgoas.com/newsletter/

🚨 Are we in another tech bubble? Yes, but that might actually be a good thing.
Also: AI’s design blindspot, how teams really work, and some eye candy from Shopify.
Last newsletter of the year going out Friday morning → tedgoas.com/newsletter/

A huge part of any job to being reliable.
Showing up on time. Doing what you said you were going to do. Getting back to someone who asked you a question.
I never realized what a superpower this was until I worked with people who are not reliable.

Not sure if y'all see my tweets since I'm not active here much, but I spend time on my newsletter.
Next issue sends Thursday and talks about the perils of vibe-coding and getting fast approvals from your boss. If that sorta thing interests you, sign up: tedgoas.com/newsletter/
