Managing design systems through design tokens / bulk variable management is going to be one of the major benefits of using AI in design.

I am 99% certain that this workflow will be how most design teams function in the next few years.

the animations they had by moving between the difference variable modes type variants looked crazy good. stuff like that may even be somewhat replicable in keynote/PowerPoint just by animating between families.

looking forward to dabble with it

this game looks so unbelievably good. i hate car culture, and this feels 100% satire.

when the bulldozers came out, the trees demolished, and the oil refineries plopped down, couldn't help but lol.

Leading as an introvert | Anton Sten Why introversion is a leadership strength, not a liability, and how to lead authentically as an introvert.

Why is quality so rare? - Linear Now

"Why is quality so rare?" is a question that designers ask every day. Pretty thorough blog on the subject, and a few interesting takeaways.

What are your thoughts on why quality (in software, in services, in most businesses today) is so increasingly rare?

'You can't raw dog it' says Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: 'If you're not using AI, you're going to lose your job to somebody who uses AI' 'I'll be sure to go home and tell people, you're not gonna raw dog this.'

Is there a *single* company that has offered a similar service to an industry and made it profitable with AI?

Not growing. Made profit. Actual, real life money.

I'll wait

Oh, all AI companies are unprofitable and burning through cash at an unprecedented rate? lol

FIDLAR - "Cheap Beer" (Official Video) YouTube video by Noisey

Consider putting the videos or at least a link to YouTube on the site, had no idea there even were videos until the Jessica episode (she mentioned jumping off camera).

Definite value add!

i feel like a lot of folks are starting there and putting in the (absolutely insane amount of) work it takes a ton to get out of it

i'm still on that phase

i got to talk to someone today who did not know about the ceo caught cheating at the coldplay concert, finally understand the thrill of breaking major news
