🎉Settings module of my Tax management solution!
Built with @nextjs app router (RSC), @tailwindcss, @radix_ui, @shadcn, Light/dark mode, @lemonsqueezy for Payment integration (not done yet!)...
Let me know what you think of the UI design!
Cheers,

I’m coming days, people will say “Ahhh, that’s human slop”
We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:
▫️ Was really slow
▫️ Had many security vulnerabilities
▫️ Was under-specified and incorrect
AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.
It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.
In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.

the fact that I've done all this in my last job, Haha
blacksmith, caching, oxlint, oxfmt, ts7, shared worker, shared build artifact, e2e test optimization, blacksmith
- cut a team's deploys from 8m49s to 47s
- cut CI cost 64% and E2E runs from ~10 to 2 min

quick question, is frontend role really dead? I wanted to become a design engineer, does it have scope? are people still hiring?
or I should transition to AI engineer?
or I can combine AI + Design Engineer? I need some help.

Person using this dashboard everyday would be annoyed by the animation time...
somtimes, no animations is the best animation.

I also made from 8m 48s to 2m 13s and also made linting from 45s -> 1s
will update my portfolio as well with great things I've done.

Question for agency owners, how do you scale? more clients, leads, content, payments, invoices, do you use any CRM or what? I'd like to learn and in process of automating the boring stuff to save my time.

I'm back.
Been quiet for 4-5 months because I was building:
→ a tax filing app (people already use it)
→ deeper into design engineering
→ AI harnesses to automate my setup
Now moving into AI engineering.
Demos coming soon 👀

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL AMERICANS FOR THIS HISTORIC OCCASION

I really loved their UI so I build a full dashboard around it shopify-admin-lemon.vercel.a…
Deleted a feature from Alfred this week, and I'm happy about it.
Our admin sidebar toggle is retired. @Shopify's new admin now has one built in (⌘B), and it's better than ours was.
We get inspired by the Shopify team all the time. Nice to think we returned the favor. 👋
does this count: ziaa.me

"You don't need to animate everything"
Imagine using this day-to-day life and wait for these animations.

I'm 2 + 3 mainly and sometimes 4th :)
As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:
1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales
Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.
A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:
- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2
Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

I wish some principle/senior frontend engineer would mentor me and I learn from him - I've grown soo much on my own but having a mentor will unlock new opportunities...
Here's my portfolio: v2-zzia.vercel.app - I'm dead serious to give 5hrs daily.
Designer Fund
I've been thinking about this lately, this year marks 17 years of me designing logos & making money on the internet. It took me over 6 months to earn my first $200.
I never had a mentor or anyone to help me when I needed it, so I want to change that. I want to give back to the designer community in the form of money or my time.
You share your story, and if selected you get to talk to me or get paid to help you grow as a designer, no strings attached. I'll be personally funding $5 K-$10K (maybe more) into the design fund pool. If anyone wants to be part of the fund or share their time feel free to reach out over DMs (I will be selective).
Money can be used to buy your first desk, mac mini, ticket to an event, learn design, pay for Claude, buy food, rent or anything - it's yours!
The fund will strictly focus on beginners & new agency owners, but if you have a unique story and need help, anyone can be considered. There's no landing page or start date, this post is to make myself accountable and actually do it, so it doesn't just live in my head.
