That’s like finding out a partner isn’t a dessert person.

It, again, truly doesn't matter whether vibecoding actually caused the outages or not - when you start bragging about how claude is making every engineer on staff more productive and the site goes through months of persistent downtime, that's a Statement.

I yearn for Scandinavia and the Balkans the same way that Gen Z dudes seem to yearn for Japan and South Korea.

all they have to do is make some ads with graphic designers using them and then we'll have an army of bsky hipster avatars defending the glasses with "but it's very useful for my design work"

The fact that I have to have it for job hunting makes me feel so awful. The “influencers” on there deserve to be garroted with piano wire.

Every job listing I’ve seen in the past year and a half:

Can't leak your code if it's already open source

HAHAHAHAHAHA

For me, it’s not enough to unfollow or block those folks there- I gotta purge them from my contacts list and salt the earth where they used to stand.

For all their pseudo intellectual bluster, they’re just a bunch of neocons who can’t get laid.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Nah. All the designers I see promoting themselves in the same way as an influencer or “serious thinker” are usually grifter scum.

LOTR, Discworld, and Redwall all day for teen DH

“Design is dead.”

Oh really? Did a mythical ✨deSigN inFLUenCEr✨ make this declaration on the world wide web?? Say it isn’t soooooo!!!

Being a hater is supremely underrated (when applicable)

did you know that if you ever get sad you can just have a chocolate croissant and a latte. no one can stop you. yw

It’s the worst!! Easily the dumbest part of all the things that we have to do for job applications.

Screenshot from cnn.com. The image shows the interior of a clean, modern airport with enormous security check-in lines. The headline underneath it reads "Lines have stretched for hours as unpaid TSA agents and travelers grapple with partial government shutdown" with a small red chiron in the image's lower left corner reading "Live Updates"

Awesome timing of me to plan a trip in/out of two of the busiest airports in the country. Super job, DH.

Oh no it me all the time

Parents (1989) ORIGINAL TRAILER [HD 1080p] YouTube video by HD Retro Trailers

I watched this movie last night. It’s bad in a real fun way- like a full movie length episode of Goosebumps.

youtu.be/VVDxDXq1VEY?...

If I see yet another carbon copied "AI means UIs will go away" take, I am going to quit design and become a monk. Four years of this masturbatory bullshit and UIs haven't gone anywhere. Shut the fuck up.

Me, every time I watch an Éric Rohmer film: “I think I’d let that French woman ruin my life.”

Coffee has water in it. Follow me for more health and wellness tips.

Who needs the American Healthcare system when you can just get punched in the face in the pit.

Anyway, the rant is over- back to my personal projects and redesigning my portfolio again YEEHAW

And I'm not abstaining from this stuff myself- digging into Claude/Figma MCP flow has been fun (I've been in UI/UX/product for about 14 years- hire me!)

...but a good chunk of this "AI can revolutionize your workflow" hype still feels...icky for me.

I dunno, dude- as someone that's been sober for about nine years...I'd like to think I know junky behavior when I see it.

Output not what you specified, even with your loaded systems/rules?

Well, then just keep adjusting and hitting that button over an over again like a grandparent sitting in front of a Reno slot machine- it'll get there eventually!

Output was what you wanted? Great, now keep pursuing that dopamine spike and hit the button again!
