The only designer I’m willing to hire is a power user of AI tools with a massive responsibility of making anything feel good, optimized and thinks ahead of each use case. “Sweat the details.” As some say. Any other designer on this platform this platform that’s on this mindset?

Fable 5 is a limited-time release. Theo's tweet unlocked a good workflow to not hit max usage with Fable. So Fable leads and everything else routes: Codex takes the bulk, Opus and Sonnet parallelize, a different model reviews before anything ships.
Replying to @theo
This is the relevant section of my CLAUDE.md I'll be real - I haven't read it much. Just vibed out what I was looking for with Fable, and had it confirm it can use Codex for the things I care about I still find Codex to be WAY better at computer use, verification of UI/UX work, and generally more efficient at execution on well spec'd work Minmaxing this has genuinely been really fun for me and I'm loving the outputs I've been getting. I was throwing away ~50% of my end-to-end agent-driven PRs before building this workflow. I haven't had to close a single one today :)

Created my first IOS app in 30 minutes without knowing anything about Xcode. Mindrift: A voice to text app that runs locally on your iPhone. Replaced Aquavoice/whisperflow subscriptions and saving myself $144 a year!

Made my own speech-to-text iOS app to replace aquavoice/whisperflow subscriptions. Runs locally and saving myself $144 a year now! :)

Stack: Claude Code, Figma, Xcode & Codex for code cleanup.

I am wanting to get better at two things in these next months; 1. Get better behind the camera for head talking videos and go through the humiliation ritual without waiting to be perfect. 2. Better and faster at building products from 0 to 1. Lets get to it 🔥

Designers are paying for tools they could build themselves. If you’re a designer still waiting for someone else to build your tools, that’s on you. Subscriptions are a designer tax for people who never opened a terminal. I built my first iOS app in 1 hour.

You’re a designer. You know exactly what the tool should do and feel for you and users. Don’t be afraid to start building and exploring new projects!

Can’t wait for all the “designers are dead” post officially 🤣
Adobe for creativity + Claude 🤝 Now, Claude users can power their content with more than 50 Creative Cloud tools. Simply describe the outcome you want and let the assistant orchestrate workflows behind the scenes: adobe.ly/4cTkJjF

GPT images v2 just helped me create the design accents for my brand that I was stuck on for a while. This is like a can of worm, so many inspiration and visual roads I can start taking this into production!

I think I finally found my connection to make some content about, unf I don’t think it fits in twitter format but we’ll see. Scheming and planning 📝

I’m only using Figma now as a nice place to keep everything organized in terms of design files 😭 It’s so sad seeing it where it is, Figma sites, Figma makes, these things just got gobbled up by other projects. They should add to the canvas be code-able. Like paper.
watching Figma, a $10B UX design monopoly, melt down with a single Claude tweet.

Almost wrapping huge contexts on our dashboard for our new startup, hoping to share more soon, we might have some early pilot customers soon. It's a crazy time to be alive to ship something big in just about 2 months of work with a team of 2.

How it literally feels working with Claude on one terminal, but the other terminals are just not as smart as the first Claude...

Building with Claude Code sometimes I have to design what my vision is and 90% it builds it right. The type of sidebar didn't exist in @shadcn , so I tweaked and created what I was looking for a new product i'm building and fell in love with this output!

I send a lot of time and tokens on small things many won't notice, but I aim for a beautiful experience on everything I create. It's so easy to create something with AI, but details matter in the end the most, and pays off for down the road.
