Can your Openclaw attend 7 different meetings with a rotating cast of stakeholders all disagreeing on the path forward for the product, understand what's not being said, read their private DMs, 1:1 summaries, and texts where they actually say what they mean and then build that?

The snoopy fan to international tumblr pipeline

I spoke to @laurenloprete.bsky.social (tumblr girl of the year 2013) about Snoopy.

A brand new Cash App. A year in the making. A true team effort.

We didn't just refresh the app. We rebuilt the visual language that makes it possible.

Our design system gave the product team everything they needed to move fast while raising quality. That's the whole point, right?

how many times have you..

If I had psoriasis I would definitely take skyrizi simply because the name flexes so hard

I would love to meet the person who named the drug Skyrizi. I have no idea what it does but that name absolutely slaps.

Growth mindset (derogatory)

weoponized growth mindset

Listen, I love Claude as much as the next girl but god damn people need to stfu about ai for just like one minute please, it’s so noisy.

See ya there Donnie!!

Life being married to an artist

A homemade cake it the shape of a weird white dog, smiling, with blueberries as its eyes. on a pink plate in the refrigerator.

Reject tradition embrace slop. Brainrot as an act of radical resistance.

Genuinely curious who’s adopting Liquid Glass for their products

I'm realizing just how important it is for design systems to be in the same meetings with product leadership. Our goals need to align with company goals. Otherwise, we may be fighting against each other unintentionally.

The way parents talk about “enjoy it while it lasts, it all happens so quickly” is how I talk about stone fruit season

She would make a great product designer, we call them squircles.

This also related to my theory around why people in SF work so hard: they don’t have great summers or cozy winters. Every day kinda feels the same, so they work non-stop.
