A site in an afternoon. A logo in a minute. A product in a weekend. AI made making easy, so everyone’s making. When anything can be built by anyone, “good” stops being an advantage. Distinct is the advantage. That’s the bit we do. #brand

Picking a school for my 10-year-old, and it’s striking how unprepared even some of the best schools seem for what’s coming next. What’s the solution?

Waiting for agents to finish a job is a big boost for X. I feel like everyone jumps on for 2–3 min while waiting and ends up spending 20… How do you focus with these short cycles ffs

The best engineering teams write the way they code. Short, clear, nothing in there that doesn't need to be.

Grok @bot has enabled non-technical people to use AI as much as technical people have over the past 6 months. That kind of leverage applied to a much bigger part of the economy creates a massive productivity jump.

X is a funny place. SaaS founders bragging about how much money they’ve saved by vibe-coding their way out of paying for other SaaS tools 🧰

Rare one: Pony is bringing in its first ever intern. We’re looking for a Brand Design Intern to invest in. You don’t need experience. You need: - A huge eagerness to learn, especially brand and AI - Real passion for both, and work that shows it - Taste - The drive to keep going when it gets hard Show us what you’ve experimented with. That matters more than any CV or uni. In return, you’ll spend time in our studio learning alongside our team on real projects, with the chance to progress into a full-time role. It’s paid, minimum 8 weeks, and you’ll need to be in our Design District studio in London three days a week. If it sounds like you, apply here - pony.studio/careers/brand-de… #internship #jobs #design

That’s huge! Cheaper AI from China could be the first domino in a major US stock market crash.

SF needs a redesign. Urgently. The energy here is something else. A city built by builders, for builders, and everyone is right at the front of tech. Then you look up ... - Dark background. - Purple gradient. - White logo, white headline. - Repeat. Nine companies, one billboard. I get it. Folks are focused on building the tech, not the design. But shipping is getting easier every month, and investors won't ask what you built, they'll ask how much traction you've got. Traction comes from distribution, and distribution starts with not looking like the hundred others doing exactly the same thing. Which makes it a huge opportunity for whoever's brave enough to say something different... #SanFrancisco #SF #AI

AI can clone your SaaS. What it can't clone is your data, your network, your hardware… And the brand on top that makes people trust you over a crowd of lookalikes. Wrote about it for @BiznessReporter business-reporter.co.uk/mana…

Dammn #SF really is the place to be. The energy here is something else. Everyone seems to be building something. You overhear conversations about ideas, businesses, crazy ambitions. People questioning how things are done rather than just accepting them. Love it!

My agent spotted that one of our Adobe accounts had been charged twice for the same plan for the past 13 months or so. It then dug up an old email conversation with someone from Adobe, confirmed the duplicate charges, contacted Adobe Support, raised the issue, negotiated with their support agent and got us a ÂŁ580.35 refund straight into our bank account. All without me lifting a finger. Wild times we live in. Wild!

Fanta wants to own Halloween the way Coke owns Xmas. Not my words, they've actually said it. So they built a whole Haunted Universe with an AI studio, new monsters, the lot, and launched it in 50 markets. Most of the comments I've seen boil down to AI slop ... t I think they've misread what Coke actually has... Coke's Santa has been around for almost a hundred years. It's part of my best childhood memories. I doubt anyone there expected people to one day get excited about a truck. It just sort of happened over time. Not sure you can build that on purpose, with or without AI. Maybe Fanta pulls it off and in ten years we're all waiting for the werewolf DJ... 🤷🏻‍♂️ #fanta #brand #halloween

Hey Motion Designers, I’m curious what’s your view on building motion with Claude Opus 5.5? It’s extremely powerful and highly customisable. Who loves it who hates it and what have your built with it? #motion #motionai #opus5

Our team will be on the ground at @token2049 Singapore talking with exchanges, FIs, and market operators, whether that means launching a new platform or building a secure core into one that's already running. Singapore is one of the most important markets for the institutional digital asset sector. 🇸🇬
