so many of our jobs will be wiped out with this, and the quality of digital products will become so much worse this is bringing digital design to mass market, like they did with physical design. now we sit in shitty chairs and only rich people can afford a well-designed product
Don’t name your layers. Let Figma AI do that AND → Make your first draft with Make Design → Find the exact visual you’re looking for (or something similar) with Visual/Asset Search → Turn your designs into a working prototype with Make Prototype #Config2024

I got frustrated by every strength training app being a nightmare of 30 day abs, recipes, and other junk. So I made a super simple—but useful—one for myself, and like always, decided to share it for free. If you train in the gym, you may enjoy. iOS only. kejk.tech/working-sets

The most interesting design engineering happens when designers and engineers don’t just ‘Duolingo’ their second discipline, but study it deeply. Once you reach bilingual profiency, your impact shifts from better looking production CSS to seeing opportunities no one else can see. – at New York, NY

A 9-5 job: Work 8+ hours, live 4 hours. Work 5 days, live 2 days. Work 1 year, get 20-30 days off. Do you really want this? There are other ways of making an income, with way less of your time involved.

With the Figma to Webflow App, you can now do more than just import your Figma components and variables — you can also sync changes from Figma into Webflow 🤯 Learn how in our new Webflow University lesson: wfl.io/f2w

My project dizzy.systems is a generator for customized, accessible #react design systems. If you make lots of stuff it might save you some time. (Looking at you #buildinpublic folks 👋) I'm starting to send out invites this week! 🥳

The odds of getting life-changing equity in someone else’s business are slim. No matter how much executives talk about employee “ownership” you are not an “owner.” Don’t forget to build something that you do own.

The age of exorbitant SaaS bills are coming to an end. You can gouge some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
Thanks to @dhh @jasonfried for making Once - Campfire Chat. I got pushed over by @dvassallo . I got it installed on Digital Ocean in no time, and native working on mac and iPhone in about 15 min flat. Will save us a ton on slack even if we move over just one big team. Super excited to play more.

In today's cutthroat world, getting laid off as a remote worker is brutally impersonal. Within a couple of hours, my laptop was shut down, erasing 2+ years of my hard work and creative energy. No wonder employee loyalty is plummeting.
