I hate SF Halloween, what do you mean you're the visualization of OpenAI’s solution to the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

autoresearch is crazy because you can just train your own version of cursor tab now
do you guys remember how magical cursor tab used to feel?

The silver lining is that the more uncommon it is to see analog brainstorming out in the wild, the cooler it is. People stop by my desk all the time intrigued by what’s on the post-its, whiteboard flows, and sketches. This didn’t use to happen.
Design isn’t dead… But the old way of designing is. And I think what we’re seeing is designers mourning. Mourning the ritual of design. I love it. The art of making something pixel perfect. People enjoy that process. Instant coffee is not the same as going through the process of learning about the origin and the story of a coffee bean, grinding it by hand, to then getting the perfect pour. Pressing a button on a CDJ vs pulling out a vinyl from a sleeve and placing the needle into a groove… Prompting feels the same and it takes a lot of the joy of the process away. But at least we can say that we were there when we had to do it all by hand. And I think people will still draw rectangles, purely to feel something. But pixel perfect designs are only as good as the product it’s depicting. The joy now has to be in perfecting the product, and not getting too stuck in pixels that don’t do anything. I’m speaking from my own experience of being a product designer. I don’t believe this is the case for many others in the industry… yet. Don’t let people’s opinions and perspectives change the way you feel about design. I believe the most exciting time in design is happening right now. And in a lot of ways nothing has changed. Change has — and always will be — just part of the job. Enjoy the ride and be good to each other ❤️
