the hardest part of running a small team now isn't shipping fast - it's keeping eng and product in sync without pinging each other constantly.
so to help our team coordinate better, we created a dock that lives on your desktop and shows what Claude/codex/Pi sessions are live, what PRs shipped, and where code conflicts are forming. its called Slashtalk - cut the chatter & work faster - slashtalk.com
We need avocado packs like this too
Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs?
Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage.
One is ready today.
The next one is ready tomorrow.
The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.”
Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem.
What do you think?
Would you prefer your bananas this way?
I’m having more fun than I ever have. Feels like it’s our renaissance as designers.
There are two Designs. One of them is dead, the other is more alive than ever.
1. Design as the production of visual assets is over soon. This is unfortunately 90% of design jobs in industry. We won’t even need agencies to create design systems like Gokul thinks - they will get solved in the same breath as the rest of it
2. Design as a general method of problem solving is more exciting than ever thanks to AI dissolving the barrier to entry for most tools. The solution space for most designs have expanded dramatically for those with eyes to see
It’s never been more exciting to be a designer, if you can let go of what design used to mean

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.
@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)
A lot of designers are already doing PM-level strategy and thinking - it's a pretty seamless transition as long as eng and designers can share the project management workload together

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
the safest designer in 2025 either ships code or drives product decisions - everything in between is being automated or absorbed. Design engineering or design PM — pick one and go deep.

You also have to put up 250% of the value of the down payment - so if down payment required is $100k usd then you’ll need to put up $250k of bitcoin lol
Fannie Mae, Coinbase, and mortgage lender Better Home & Finance have teamed up to let homebuyers use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral for a down payment without having to sell their crypto.
Key points:
1. Borrowers pledge Bitcoin or USDC as collateral, keeping their assets intact and avoiding a taxable event.
2. Unlike typical crypto lending, there are no margin calls, if Bitcoin drops in value, the mortgage terms remain unchanged and no extra collateral is required.
3. Mortgage rates will run 0.5–1.5 percentage points higher than standard loans.
4. Borrowers face liquidation risk only after a 60-day payment delinquency, similar to conventional mortgages.
the sheer amount of cool tools coming out for designers is mind blowing
Layout mode for Agentation just dropped and it lets you iterate more visually. Designing through Claude Code/Codex has never been easier.
