I bet we will see the acquisition of @raycast very soon by one of big AI players.


Great to see Auth experts coming together. Auth.js was a great project with great maintainers, but the architecture/approach of BetterAuth is just better.

Excited to announce the Auth.js project (formelry NextAuth.js) joins Better Auth

One of my friends was recently promoted to Senior Software Engineer at FAANG. He has around 12 years of experience and is the best developer I've worked with. Meanwhile, plenty of designers consider themselves seniors after 2-3 years of freelancing. Senior grades are something…


Upgraded to iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 during the weekend. There are a lot of bugs and terrible performance. The release was definitely rushed. They also broke sticky/fixed positioned elements in Safari and have this issue even on their own website.

I think I have a Plan B in case AI takes over my job. I cooked pork ribs for 15 hours in a sous vide, then smoked them for an hour and served them with a fully handmade sweet fig sauce.

Spent a few days shooting an intro for @primeuicom launch video with a team. Two full days of recordings, plus probably a month of post-processing, will result in 8-10 seconds in the final cut.

On one side, we have the freshly released BMW i3($60k). On the other side, the latest releases from China – Xpeng P7 and Xiaomi YU7 both for ~$40k in full spec. Which one would you choose?

While you're still trying to understand web design, I'm already one step ahead by trying to understand the design of everything by learning quantum mechanics.

I was telling my mom recently that most likely the next time she comes, our car will be able to fully drive itself from A to B, and the reason we can't do it now is just super slow EU bureaucrats.

Dexter: Resurrection is a really good continuation of the series and feels even better than the original. The ratings don’t lie this time.

Subscription cancellation UX from @higgsfield_ai. Nothing could speak more to the fact that your product is a scam than the four cancellation subscription popups you have to get through.

Founders complain about having a hard time finding a "cracked" designer while offering 1/3 of the salary of non-cracked engineers. Those designers can earn between $300k-$500k a year solo, try to at least double this.


Breakdown video with the full design process of the new @cluely website is coming soon. If you have specific questions you'd like me to cover, leave a comment down below.


If the EU wants to regulate something, here is a fantastic idea for you that the majority will appreciate: paid ads should not result in a top #1 spot for direct name matches in popular search engines.

If there were a course that could truly teach you design, it would likely cost $100k/y and last five years. You won’t magically become an expert by purchasing a $499 course, created at best in a couple of months, from someone on the internet.


Meet the new look of @cluely. ~1,200 hours, and 3 months of teamwork dedicated to the exploration of the look, design, motion, and development of the new website for the most viral startup. The main challenge was to achieve a "generalized" look while having something special,…


Every time I go on summer vacation, I am fascinated by how many people enjoy being in direct sunlight when the UV index is very high in the middle of the day. I bet most of them don’t even use sunscreen.


If you're looking to improve your design engineering skills, I highly recommend subscribing to the Telegram channel of @alex_krasikau (link in his bio). Alex is known for his work at Attio, and now he often works with the famous @jamesm, bringing his designs to life. He recently…


If you’re working on a new product design project that’s more than 20 pages long, maintain, evolve, and design it directly in code. Design tools are far less efficient these days compared to the speed you can achieve with Claude Code, Cursor, or v0. Thank me later!

I’ve been using auto layout and components in Figma for last 2 days. I’m trying to see if it’ll make my life easier designing all these interfaces but it’s only causing so much headache and so time consuming. How do y’all design like this! You’re all monsters.
