New essay! In which I try to define the toolmarks that AI leaves behind in the process of turning your prompt into a generated output.

Great post! something to keep in mind, especially with how fragmented everything feels right now.

Everyone’s constantly trying new tools, and over time people start trusting them a bit too blindly. I get it, they help move things faster, but they also help people avoid doing “the work.”

added this button interaction to my portfolio

(Stole or got the inspiration somewhere)

These are the kind of things I love in personal websites 👏

Looks amazing!

Using Codex 80% of the time but for some reason Claude has *way* better taste making UI decisions

In my experience, gemini has better UI instincts. That’s when I switch to cursor to make gemini do a UI pass for quick things. Instead of keep correcting Claude for UI changes.

things designers never want to hear:

i think

quick call?

interesting

make it pop

nice direction

i did it in word

it's getting there

needs more zing

is this the wireframe?

it's lacking something

make the logo bigger

i'll know it when I see it

my nephew has photoshop

what else?

I just asked Claude to add some “design”

I built my dream Markdown editor for Mac.

→ Introducing Cogito (pronounced koh-gee-toh).

It started out of frustration: Obsidian is powerful but overwhelming. iA Writer is beautiful but feels built for a different era.

Nothing felt right for how I actually write and work now: plain files, lots of folders, agents and scripts editing alongside me.

I wanted both: native and beautiful, powerful and calm.

So I finally built it.

It's fast, keyboard-first, polished, truly native. A Mac app built with power users and developers in mind.

This is my love letter to writing and Mac apps.

I use it for all my writing now.

Free while in beta ✌️

‪Love people building their own version of heavy used apps. This one looks very similar to @BearNotesApp wondering if you try it or what differences it has. ‬

The world is changing fast. What are you doing to keep up?

What has worked for me my entire life is being adaptable.

Being adaptable means being able to shift with the inevitability of change.

💯, I always consider myself very flexible and adaptable. What I’m doing right now is keeping myself up to date (twitter/mailbrew), playing and experimenting with all these new AI tools integrating them in my ever changing workflow.

@ramiroruiz Yo pienso todo lo contrario. Estudié arquitectura y siempre pensé que no podría diseñar mi propia casa.

Eso es un problema común con perfeccionismo y se ve tanto tmb en diseñadores cuando diseñamos para nosotros como el branding o sitio web. Somos nuestro peor crítico 😅

@dainal 2 young kids. Does that count? It should.

Well raising children is the most important project for parents. I have 3 young ones.

Not exactly the same as other ones as you cannot abandon them if they’re not “performing well” or sell them for profit… at least not in my country 👀

@ramiroruiz that may not go over well if it becomes obvious and constant from your cross-posts that you’re referencing something specific to twitter on a mastodon timeline. Especially if it is a reply and lacks context.

@JustMrLarz yeah that would be bad, is not completely automatic. I have to choose what to send that step is where I add the note tags and review the translation to post to my Spanish account.

That helps me avoid confusing posts like you mention. I rarely post live event tweets to my site, and replies are only sent to my website with the original author note for context.

graphic design is undervalued

Most people still think graphic design is just about aesthetics and decoration.

And everyone likes to think they have good taste, it doesn’t help that it’s not always obvious how to measure the results of investing in it.

what design advice would you give to your younger self?

3 things:

You’re not Apple, so share early, learn how to ask and take feedback and keep improving it.

That feeling that you have when seeing your last year designs. It never goes away, and is a good thing.

Create more experiments and put them out there.

*start design project*

me: this is going to look amazing in my portfolio

client: make the logo bigger, change the blue colour to orange and switch the font to arial

me: absolutely no chance this is going in my portfolio

It hurts because is true.

After the first revision with the client you know the chances of ending up in your portfolio or not.

Looking for a used SUV that has a 3rd row. Considering the following:

• Mazda CX-9

• Nissan Pathfinder

• Honda Pilot

• Kia Sorento

• Ford Explorer

Do you like any of those or recommend something else?

I have the Sorento and the family loves it. The 3rd row has enough space and at a very reasonable price.

I do have conflicting thoughts when looking at this:

https://t.co/oug85gdHvQ

To be honest design education has always been a muddy world. It's one of those things where you could either pay A LOT or pay nothing and the results might just be the same.

Completely agree, those prices are crazy.

For beginners I would recommend books that touch on design principles. There’s a lot good YouTube videos, free specific ebooks by @uxpin or @InVisionApp and actually a @skillshare membership is pretty great.
