Less obvious career tip for designers: Look to work in places where design is a value creator rather than just a cost. Choose the companies that get the highest value from designers. Here are some things to try understand if that's the case:

All the Invision discussion has reminded me of a talk I saw Koen Bok give in 2018, where he predicted the consolidation of most design tools into one, and it played out exactly as he said.

What's the current thinking on this? Should buttons & icons display the state they're in, or the state they'll go to when pressed?

Anyone interested in a Berlin Design Tools get together sometime next month? There are quite a few people working on design & creative tools in the city. I thought it'd be nice to connect.

I really wish Figma had hobby tier pricing for personal projects.

Wild, Canva acquiring Affinity. Extremely surprised to see this given such different tech stacks and overall product positioning. Sad as a user of both tbh.

I've been using Arc more lately. One AI feature I'm growing to love is that you can just ask it anything about a webpage. I'm quite slow at reading German, so being able to quickly TLDR a website and then ask followup questions is gold!

Making progress on a side-project launch checklist with Mateusz Siek

In my ongoing efforts to learn German, I still often struggle with understanding article genders and grammar. I started exploring what it could be like if you could inspect written text to understand the sentence structure.

We just launched this on Product Hunt - upvotes really appreciated. producthunt.com/posts/fluidmot…

Curious if left sidebars will fall out of favor as more product teams adopt Arc. Dealing with double, collapsible sidebars can be quite frustrating.

One of the original design principles of the Figma UI was that it was purposely utilitarian, neutral and out-of-time, so it's interesting to see them go away from that and actually take a stance on a specific design style.

Every time I try code something from scratch, I'm still pretty shocked at just how complicated it is to even get a dev environment up and running with libraries and dependencies. Really feels like everything is held together with duct tape and glue. It's so fragile.

Using Claude's new artifacts feature, and realised it's fantastic wireframing tools. You can build clickable semi-working wireframes incredibly quickly.

Woah - I was able to use Claude to take @pjonori's Dieter Dots code and convert it to little web app. Took 5 minutes. We're all going to be building our own on-demand mini apps very soon.

Job update: I’ve joined Aftershoot and will be leading design there. They’ve created a great and successful AI tool for pro photographers (before the hype) and this year we’re taking it to the next level 🦾
