Writing publicly is career insurance, and almost nobody frames it that way. You can spend a decade getting known inside one company for the thing you're best at, and if it never leaves the building, that whole reputation is tied to a badge and a work email. Put it out in public and it's finally yours. You're the person known for that thing, wherever you end up next.

Many designers believe a good product will naturally sell.
So they polish endlessly before the market has even cared.
But reality is the opposite:
A product has to sell first, survive first, and only then earn the right to become truly good.

Learn to ship. Shipping is a skill distinct from coding. Shipping is designing, coding, QAing, story-telling, teaching, marketing, selling, pivoting, iterating…
It used to be that coding dominated in importance because of coding ability scarcity. AI will push you to go further.

“There’s a Mexican standoff happening between product manager, designer, and coder.”
Marc Andreessen on how AI is reshaping core tech roles:
“Every coder now believes they can also be a product manager and a designer, because they have AI. Every product manager thinks they can be a coder and a designer. And every designer knows they can be a product manager and a coder.”
“People in each of those roles now know or believe that with AI, they don’t need the other two roles anymore.”

This is how designers are changing the way they work and communicate with clients.
With MagicPath, you design while shipping real, interactive deliverables everyone can see and test.
The design process becomes a self-fulfilling builder dream.
This year, I'm betting more on design shipping rather than design pixeling. My most recent client work was done almost entirely in @MagicPathAI, using Figma only for initial mockups.
The best part of this approach? Clients love getting a fully working prototype without even asking for it. Developers love it too—they focus more on engineering rather than front-end.
How do I sell this? I don't. I just do it, without asking.
What's even better? The feedback/iteration process is 100x better. Using LLM's to iterate on designs, it's absolutely bananas.
On the personal side, I'm shipping more. I already have 2 apps in the pipeline, ready to publish.
More shipping, less pixeling.

Now that anyone can build an app, everyone finally realizes that building the app wasn't the hard part.

Every now and then I play around creating posters, t-shirts, or some random artwork just because I like it.
Here are some snippets:
