 Remember when Figma Dev Mode was free? It was so easy, so good to send files for handoff when I was president. Now they ask for money. It’s bad. So bad. They want $45 a month when engineers just want to see spacing values. This engineer came up to me, big guy, strong guy, tears running down his face. He said “sir,” he said “sir, what they’re doing is disgusti the provenance nightmare aside, i’m not particularly concerned with Galileo. the gen AI junk will become the new baseline, but it’s not stripping designers of their value like the doomers make it out to be. our value does not lie in creating settings screens. https://www.usegalileo.ai/explore a large part of design is relentlessly fighting to reduce cognitive load. pushing back on ideas that muddy a product, cutting existing things that hold a design back, deprioritizing irrelevant info. AI is a total pushover, which makes it particularly shit at being a good designer. designers are editors, not yes-men.  @samhenrigold I agree. It is, just like other recent stochastically suggestive software, a mere reproduction of known patterns. Companies looking for quick reproduction of known patterns might benefit from it. This alone does not make good design. In fact, UX is largely still pretty much user-hostile. Such an "AI" does not solve this problem. It's more of a different way of googling. It may have a place at early project stages, where an overview about common patterns is needed.

 @samhenrigold go to the Apple Store 😭 (Word is that the 1.1 developer beta adds the ability to restore from a nearby iPhone like the HomePod and Watch)  https://youtu.be/SFKM-Rxiqzg can’t believe we got robots that can sissy that walk before GTA6 i love how delusional youtube is, putting shorts in my subscription feed on my television. there’s nothing I love more than watching short-form vertical video on my very non-vertical TV

 @samhenrigold and with framerate matching on, your tv can show a black screen for 4 seconds every 10-second short ✨  they should play several shorts side by side to make most use of the horizontal screen  ngl it’s tricky to do my job in the vision pro

@samhenrigold Have you tried this app? Could solve the last point https://mastodon.world/@tchaten/111833937635312433  @samhenrigold 👋🏻  i think the biggest issue with developing for the vision pro is the enormous pain in the ass 3D content is if you’re not super deep into it already. idk what the solution is. better asset libraries? letting people create models programmatically rather than learning Blender?  @samhenrigold Better tools. Blender gets away with being Blender because it's free. There's no powerful 3D tool with a UI as approachable as any 2D design tool. Spline might be getting there, but it's web first sorry if this is a bit of a personal question but regarding the 2010 CeeLo Green song, which version do you all prefer? Anonymous poll

 @samhenrigold I don't really get what's the point of that Vision Pro. You can do the same with a way more comfortable iPad btw the twitter app runs at the same level as the mastodon app (ipad compatibility mode) and they did *not* feature twitter in that list 🤭 living my 10x developer truth (replaced one (1) for loop with an array map and promptly taking an hour for lunch)  2000s maximalist photo-vector CGI collage girl you have to stop. you smoke too tough. your swag too different. your bitch is too bad. they’ll kill you |
