Here’s a question I get a lot:

> “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?”

I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself.

But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵

We remember the internet bubble. This mania looks and feels the same. The AI revolution is three years old Nov. 30. In just 36 months AI has gone from great-new-toy, to global phenomenon, to where we are today - debating whether we are in one of the biggest technology b...

Nothing says ‘digital detox’ quite like an algorithmically served carousel post about it on Instagram

Math Notes in Calculator on iOS would benefit from a mode where you can speak or type in natural language to do math (what % growth is x to y etc).

Slightly more dire of warning tone than the Stratechery piece but I think that was the point. Good read.

AI / Sora + design fiction. Lots of fun imaginative futures (and pasts). 🔮

Starting to “build in public”. Just posted my first @solarday.app update to Indie Hackers www.indiehackers.com/product/sola...

@moskov.goodventures.org Enjoyed your Stratechery interview with Ben Thompson. Super interesting takes including on productivity & AI.

A screenshot showing that Solarday hit #4 in Productivity section in Paid Apps on the App Store.

Not everything needs AI, and everything that’s AI today will be “just software” tomorrow (credit to Benedict Evans for that line).

@andy.works Love & admire !Boring software. Thanks for doing something different.

🚀 From just an idea 3 months ago to Top 10 on the App Store. My intention for the day: Every small step forward matters more than perfection.

Give the app a try. Would love to hear feedback. 🙏🏾
