google’s core problem is that it was built to organize a web that no longer exists. the open web has been replaced by walled gardens, discord servers, newsletters, private forums, & algorithmic feeds that are never exposed to search. worse, the visible parts of the web that…
Two cool programs I’d consider applying to if I was younger:
1) Google Creative Lab Five - 1-year program working on special projects inside Google creativelab5.com
2) @shipfr8—A free hotel-like hacker house in Finland (they will even pay for your flight)
Attached are the most common questions I find myself asking in ~every product/feature review meeting.
Hopefully one or two make their way into your repertoire. (link in next post)
I've started using Kernel to design with real data in Figma.
Now I have the entire Maven database connected directly to my components and it's the game changer 🤯

@MorningBrew When you take a big swing, people say you're tossing out the brand legacy. When you take a small swing, people say you're overpaying your consultants. I think this is a natural progression of the logo and color palette that looks more vibrant and approachable on mobile. It's a…
This is correct.
In 1995, when released, Microsoft Frontage was all but sure to eliminate the need to hire web developers (expensive at the time!)
From there on, anyone could create any website: no technical skills needed

To understand how software engineering will change when anyone (technical or not) can hire an AI agent to spit out code:
How did filmmaking change now that everyone has a professional-camera (previously unattainable to non-pros) in their pocket?
I see so much FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) about the future of sw engineering, mostly from non-devs. Along the lines of “soon anyone can spin off AI agents in bulk that act as hundreds of devs.”
