Some additional directions @oliverhamrin and I explored for @firstofkind season 3.
Me and @haris_chc had so much fun working on the visual identity for @firstofkind season 3.
Here's a bunch of drafts from the exploration phase:

The exploration was built around a few words like scale, agents, man + machine, a new species, visceral, and craft.

We are creating a new visual grammar for our agentic age with @firstofkind
We once had pixels for design, ASCII and TUI for engineering. Intelligence emerges from tokens, just as mosaics emerge from tiles. Cellular automata of a new kind.

Incredible career opportunity: Design at @tryramp is at the forefront of how the field of software design is evolving. This team will role model how startups evolve their design practices through the AI transition. @diegozaks boldly leads a talent-dense, entrepreneurial group.

Here is our breakdown of most common topics from Season 1 of @firstofkind
I'm kind of blown away...
Insanely cool breakdown across @DialecticPod episodes with:
- robust sentiment analysis (humor, language, vulnerability, conversational density)
- most common topics, references, themes
- how I ask questions
- detailed episode breakdowns
- so much more
So honored that @azacharyf (and Fable) took the time to honor my guests and my conversations with a treasure trove of data to explore.
I've only briefly poked around but it makes me very excited for both what's possible *and* proud to have created a relatively small body of work that I hope can stand the test of time and grow into a resource for curious, creative, crafty, soulful people.

If you’re going to do a tech podcast in 2026 please do yourself (and the rest of us) a favor and do something different, unique, etc.
A new format. Super high production quality. A guest who hasn’t been on every other show.
The baseline is too high now. Everyone does video. Tools are inexpensive. Products like Riverside, Descript, etc are so good that the out of the box episode is good no matter what.
So you need to go above that. You need to aim higher. And you can! There are so many unexplored formats. Don’t be afraid to get creative.
Zig when others are zagging.
