An NPS survey with the text: NPS surveys suck and actively make your software worse. I hate them. Anyone promoting their use at Adobe is a useless hack.
I will always respond to your NPS survey! My response will always be like this.
A glitchy macOS Finder preview of a Photoshop document.
A screenshot of macOS, showing the volume overlay top right and top center.
I am not into the macOS 26 brightness and volume overlays changing position. Normally they’re top right, but that moves to top center if you’re in full screen mode.
…the Barbie Liberation Organization orchestrated an exchange of voice boxes between 300 Teen Talk Barbies and Hasbro Talking Duke G.I. Joe action figures… …Affected Teen Talk Barbies spoke phrases such as "Eat lead, Cobra!", "Attack!", and "Vengeance is mine!"

We released another plugin! This one is all about adding subtle random timing delays and time compression swing to MIDI notes. bjango.com/plugin/insta...
Doing some Instant Vibes automation testing. See those dials spin!
A glitched out rendering of the Instant Vibes music plugin.
I’ve been seeing beautifully broken PSD previews in Finder recently. It’s hard to be annoyed when they look this cool.
A screenshot of the Instant Vibes plugin UI, showing 6 brightly coloured dials and 16 step sliders.
Say hello to Instant Vibes, the MIDI groove unquantizer plugin. Out now as a VST and Audio Unit. bjango.com/plugin/insta...
AVIF or JPEG XL? Save As and Save a Copy. Interlaced PNG? Save For Web. WebP? Save a Copy only. Save slices? Save For Web only. Export to multiple pixel densities? Export As or Generator.
A guide to exporting from Photoshop:
Full control over how many colours are in a PNG? Save For Web. 16 bit per channel? Save As or Save a Copy. Export artboards? Export As only. Animated GIF? Save For Web. h.264 video? Render Video, obviously.
Native Instruments is in preliminary insolvency. If you’re looking for an iZotope RX replacement, Supertone Clear is great at background noise reduction. In fact, it’s better, and cheaper. www.supertone.ai/en/clear
A screenshot of an alert that says: The application cannot be used because the App Store authentication failed or no network is available. Please check the App Store authentication and internet connection.
I purchased Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro via my US App Store account years ago, but my Australian account is my main account. With Logic Pro 12, it looks like it’s no longer possible for me to use that setup. Final Cut Pro still works though.
A screenshot of a Finder window in macOS 26, where a folder is being renamed. The text field for the folder name appears on top of the side bar in an awkward and ugly way.
This is good example of why it’s best for interfaces to have well defined, opaque zones, rather than floating or transparent panels. This isn’t a Tahoe exclusive issue — that style just never works. daringfireball.net/2026/01/resi...
Genuary Jan 20: One line. An artwork that is made of a single line only. #genuary
Working on an infinite maze generator for Jan 18th’s prompt (“unexpected path”). Still a bit to go before this one is finished. #genuary
Sorry, forgot to reply to this! Yes, it has a sequencer. The faders control velocity, and the dials above are a timing offset.
Genuary Jan 16: Order and disorder. #genuary
Two app icons side by side. The left icon is a highly detailed platinum record. The right icon is a weird blurry Liquid Glass mess.
The Logic Pro app icon, before and after being part of Apple Creator Studio.
Genuary Jan 5: Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font. #genuary
There were a lot of bugs. The code is a huge mess. That’s okay though. Onto the next prompt.
The inistial work was done using cartesian coordinates. Moving to polar coordinates was one of the last steps.
Genuary Jan 7, 8, and 10: Boolean algebra, a City, polar coordinates. Create a generative metropolis. Yes, I’m smooshing lots of the prompts together. #genuary
If you’re into synths and code, this is a great video. The Usual Suspects have gone to extreme lengths to create an authentic Roland JP-8000 emulator. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM_q...
Genuary Jan 4: Lowres. An image or graphic with low resolution, where details are simplified or pixelated. #genuary
Genuary Jan 1: One color, one shape. #genuary
Those images make it look like the design process didn’t include any experimentation or detours, which is mostly true. Here’s the wireframe just before creating the high fidelity mockup, with the steps section on top.
We’re working on another music plugin. Here’s the process so far, from the first wireframe, to the final mockup, to the state of the current beta.
It’s an experimental implementation, but this Design Tokens Community Group JSON validator looks great. dembrandt.github.io/dtcg-validat...
A screenshot of the Alfred Terminal command window, showing: curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}\n' -L https://example.com
I just created an Alfred Workflow I should have made years ago: It takes a URL on the clipboard and uses curl to find all the redirected URLs. Really handy for package tracking URLs, where the final redirect often doesn’t contain the tracking ID and can’t be bookmarked.
👨🏻💻 Take this gift card, but beware, it carries a terrible curse.
That’s bad!
👨🏻💻 But, it comes with a free frogurt!
