This is the first time I've gotten excited about design -> code via AI. From working together I know Adam cares a lot about code authoring quality too, and if he's stamping this then I'm so in.
Alright, really cooking now… ✅ Pixel-perfect compared to Figma design ✅ Supports light and dark mode ✅ Includes responsive design ✅ Didn't write a single character of code by hand ✅ Was definitely faster than doing it myself Figma MCP server + rules file biggest unlocks.
Someone asked me on a call today what git client I was using and I'm still surprised @gittower isn't more well known. I've used it for many, many years and I think it's by far THE BEST git client out there. Give it a try! git-tower.com
I’m unbelievably excited to finally get back to work tomorrow. @merycodes, @alvishbaldha, and I are working on some seriously awesome stuff at @hypermodeinc that we can wait to share with you soon.
First day of a week long vacation and I’m already excited to get back to work. Not because the time off isn’t great, but because the work is so motivating and fun. We’re all so lucky to be in this industry - building awesome stuff and working with amazing people. Grateful.
I’ve been building various agents a lot lately. So much life to automate, even things I enjoy doing (like purchase research), but AI can do it better (Sports nerds check out my fantasy team agent below). If I built an app of pre-built agents you can use and configure for…
Good design matters because it makes your user feel important, seen, and cared for. Design is a moat because of what it represents.
Companies are starting to fully understand that design and craft is the differentiator. Designer talent war is just the start.
It is an absolutely magical time to be a builder. Whatever it was that you couldn’t do before, you can now.
Resist slop. It is still possible to create beauty, but you have to care.
Beauty takes many forms. Seek it out. A B R E L O S O J O S
This is a great short read. If you demand attention, they will demand results. Most often you get one chance to meet the expectations - make sure you care more than your competition.

Really enjoyed every experience I had with Booker when working with him. High quality guy with high quality taste.
I'm moving on from @ClerkDev and exploring new opportunities! I learned a tonne, and I’m excited to bring this experience to my next role. If you’re building for developers and need a technical marketer or community lead, let’s talk!
Awesome opportunity to work with Namya and team 👇
Supafast is hiring 2-3 full-time designers. What we do want: ✅ Ownership ✅ Business-first thinking ✅ Client + detail obsession ✅ 3–4 hr EST overlap (non-negotiable) ✅ Strong AI workflow (GPT-4 / Midjourney etc.) What we don’t want: ❌ Freelancers ❌ Soloprenuers ❌…
Took an extra long weekend to refresh and damn I'm stoked to get back to work. Happy Monday, all 👋
Hypermode design team headquarters are even more remote this morning.
Feeling proud of what you’ve accomplished is great, but for me, nothing beats when someone tells you how you’ve positively impacted their trajectory and accomplishments. Help people, make connections, be a cheerleader. You’ll make an impact you didn’t realize you were a part of.
A 🧵 on how to implement beautiful shadow borders: Yesterday, @jamesm called out our @trycampsite UI bits and how we utilize box shadows as borders to get better border contrast on elements with shadows. Lets talk about how we actually implement this and work around the gotchas:
