Not sure when my @aiDotEngineer talk will be posted, so for those who asked here's a link to my slides (couldn't add notes so if you anything needs explanation just reply here & I'll thread the context): figma.com/deck/0NURDonIV…
Actually pretty good advice. Also: - Optimize for a delightful first couple seconds & reviewer shifts modes from "why you" to "why not" - Typos show lack of attn to detail: this is the job - No dead ends: after each project nudge to the next and/or contact button, etc
i've reviewed ~1,000 portfolio websites so far for founding designers ~3% don't open ~20% of all portfolio website are not responsive ~ 95% of all portfolios have at least one rlly shit project thoughts: if a project is NOT excellent, remove it. 1 good project > 10 shit ones

I recommend checking it out! On why chat interfaces and model pickers are simultaneously not the future and are here to stay (at least for a little while).

It's a true honor to be cloned by @realsohamparekh
OpenScouts, like @yutori_ai scouts but OSS. Had fun building hacking this in less than an hour. Infra was the real deal here alongside agent coordination. This was mostly a learning experiment Will OSS it soon
Scouts from @yutori_ai is likely one of the best AI products I have used recently. It greatly simplifies tracking ("scouting") web items I want with impressive precision. Interesting to watch how this paves way for cooler interfaces for human-agent interaction.
“…are you getting it? These are not three separate devices.”
open AI has pushed the industry forward again... three audio input buttons, people. take notes.
Being in a meeting with @ryolu_ must be insane: every answer he gave on this panel took ~10 min, had multiple dramatic pauses, and was perhaps the most profound thing I’ve ever heard… or not b/c idk if I understood any of it.

Even more so than Vision Pro, Apple Intelligence, etc, this move makes me most feel that Apple has... lost... its... way.
Anyone else confused by the inconsistent use of an ellipsis on menu items? e.g. "System Settings…" vs "App Store"
This agent icon came about while exploring logos for @yutori_ai, but didn't make the cut because it's too focused on the technology instead of the mission. Still cute tho & will pop up in various parts of the product.
Logo design is simply getting all the obvious ideas on paper & out of your system; then your mind is free to think of something unique.
browsers can just do things
damn i got early access to Perplexity’s Comet browser & it can literally just do stuff for me 🙏
"design things that can design"
The Era of Experience & The Age of Design Great talk by Richard Sutton: Humans have the ability to take design to the next level, and actually design things that can design (“make AI that can make AI”), taking us from Replicators into “The Age of Design”.
I wonder if a list of all remaining engineers and designers will be made public This seems like an interesting use case for a @yutori_ai Scout, so let’s find out together by subscribing below: 🧭 scouts.yutori.com/01ab622d-b092-…
Here is most of what I’ve gathered on the Windsurf / Google Deal The founders and dozens of engineers are going to Google. This group, along with the preferred shareholders will be sharing the $2.4B headline number. The exact split is unknown but investors are making some money…
Great piece & found this memo linked in it: "It is better to offer a variety of case colors than to have variable amounts of memory." web.stanford.edu/dept/SUL/sites…
