Take a look at the difference in Framer's website between 2015 and today. It's very interesting. The current one is much trendier but feels less…tangible? And more speculative. Idk. I'm gonna eat an apricot and think about this a little more.

@samhenrigold I think the audience changed significantly in well they used to target designers and teams with a very specific, technical solution. Now they’re aiming much broader, more general so they’re using the “sell the promise, not the product” type of marketing.

this has become a problem for me since my primary method of finding things online is just appending “reddit” to any google search theverge.com/2023/6/13/2375994

@samhenrigold along those lines, I think a lot of the ChatGPT excitement is really just based in the fact search engines are filled with trash, and here's something that can surface an actual real answer

Also, oddly enough, Yandex, which I mostly neglected as a search engine for the last 10 years, sometimes returns much better results than Google. Google maps though... They're worse than useless.

@samhenrigold @joshbuchea It isn’t just that. I did a search last night without that qualifier and seven of the first links were to private Reddit pages

If someone wants to take a stab at a prompt injection on Artifact's "summarize this article" feature I'd be moderately curious how they're prompting it.

Josh :verifiedlgbt:

@samhenrigold when I’ve done similar summaries on meeting transcripts, I’ve had good luck with something like “Please summarize the following article clearly and concisely using bullet points: <insert text to summarize>”.

They’ve probably done something similar but maybe requested limits on word count. The trick is to not make the prompt so unwieldy that the LLM forgets what you wanted.

i’m project managing the construction going on across the street. except they don’t know i’m project managing. i just like keeping tabs on them when I walk past and think “hm i feel like they should’ve delivered the flagstone by now”

@samhenrigold Does that mean I’ve been a successful developer for decades without knowing it?!

imagine fucking up developer relations so bad you cause /r/cake (the baking subreddit) and /r/cakeband to shut down indefinitely in protest

I've been designing with Material You for the past few months and something I noticed when switching back to iOS is how your accent color is relatively limited in scope: labels, background/foreground fills are always tinted blue.

“Color grading” your app should be easier. If your app is green, why should the background be off-blue? Why are labels pure black when they can be infused with a bit of color?

It's extremely subtle but it's a wonderful bit of polish.

Before flat design took over, apps went crazy with this stuff. Everything got customized to follow a common theme. It was extreme pain as a developer, sure, but the result looked nice.

listen, we’ve all stored a few boxes of documents in our showers. it happens, we’re all human.

this is the least important thing here but they redesigned CNN and I have strong opinions on their absolutely busted corner radii.

They need to roll back multiple timers in iOS. Our idiot brains simply cannot process more than one timer simultaneously — humans aren’t meant to handle it. It’s dangerous

Whenever I go from SwiftUI tinkering to a web project, I'm always struck by how you get _absolutely fucking nothing_ for free on the web platform.

I've been spoiled by, you know, easily truncating text and embedding a map with a single line. Meanwhile you gotta fight with every morsel of energy in your body to make custom tooltips on the web.

I'm the opposite. When a platform/library allows me to do something complex very easily, I get extremely suspicious. My experience tells me that this ease, that usually comes with reduced control over what I'm doing, will eventually bite me in the ass so hard I won't ever recover.

For SwiftUI specifically, I heard people complain that it makes it easy to build things Apple has made a provision for, but for anything even a little bit non-standard you're screwed. Also lots of undocumented "magic" behaviors with paddings and animations and such.

really cool that @Rougeux's amazing web projects got showcased in all the web sessions at #WWDC23. if you haven't seen it already, you gotta check out c82.net
