This is great but would love a feed that is not just left political posts (despite being a leftist) and it feels like your algorithm only promotes political discourse. Would love more humor, design, local, queer content. Right now it just feels like a rage machine.

Between this and Grammarly CEO suggesting that we will manage AI agents instead of people I’d honestly rather join a cult.

Trump fires director of U.S. Copyright Office, sources say Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter was appointed to the post by now former Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who herself was fired by President Trump earlier this week.

If AI wasn’t theft then why would we be gutting copy right protections

i can’t wait to see how this extremely shitty era is described in design, auto, space, etc histories in the future

it’s like the user interface equivalent of humours and bloodletting

a woman sitting at a desk says no no that wasn 't a question . ALT: a woman sitting at a desk says no no that wasn 't a question .

AI art is soulless.

I don’t play games that were built fast. I play games that were built with soul.

There’s a chasm between building a V1 to hit a deadline vs building building a V1 because you have enough to launch and test.

Petition to change to “keep the human in the poop”

This is the response I received in the Figma Sites Discord and my reply after.

I was sharing my disappointment and frustration with the tool enabling people to publish inaccessible websites that puts them at risk of lawsuits.

I love living in the era of the business idiot. Multiple 3 trillion market cap companies forcing software down people's throats that they hate that has grown a near-cultural level of ridicule about its propensity for errors, all because they forgot how to do anything but chase quarterly growth

(I promise I’m actually fun at parties)

The Bolt Chain Smokers afterparty feels like the final dregs of the Silicon Valley era before it all bursts. #config

I was with the 50% of the audience that left.

If only I had remembered to pack tomatoes.

If you aren’t throwing vegetables at Boz why are you even at Config

We all sure do love and also hate Figma, don’t we folks?

Wild given that in attending I saw Figma provide plentiful ADA seating and HOH interpreters.

I guess shipping fast was the priority over shipping well.

Every product designer is actively wondering how they can exit into production design. #config

Meta has never had anything to teach designers.

They’re great at buying and borrowing. They do not build anything well.

Totally but I’m absolutely anti-adobe given the way they price gouge the creative community.

Thank god we live in a world where Figma eats Adobe rather than joining it.

Vibe coding takes a failing idea to their limit quicker than ever.

Only people can take a successful idea to scale.

While AI hype bros are insisting design is dying @figma.com is doubling down on the growing impact of design.
