Will design systems start specifying which models to use for specific tasks? UI, landing pages, copywriting, long-form, etc. Rules and skills aren't enough when the base models have so much opinion baked in.

Haven't looked at @reactjs downloads in awhile, but this is wild.

Loved these thoughts from @jennywen on how the design process is changing due to AI. Something I've been feeling. More and more we're building dev-first vs design-first. Designers are still critical, but in a new type of role. youtube.com/watch?v=eh8bcBIA…

Anthropic War Room: "So this was like really bad, but could make a really great customer case study"
Replying to @AnthropicAI
We believe this is the first documented case of a large-scale AI cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention. It has significant implications for cybersecurity in the age of AI agents. Read more: anthropic.com/news/disruptin…

Love randomly seeing npmtrends screenshots in the wild. It’s visuals like this that help indicate where the js community is moving. Downloads aren’t everything, but they are something.
Two years ago, Resend was the new kid on the block. Many people told me, “We don't need another Email API.” But if you focus on quality, there's always space, even in a super crowded market. We still have a looong way to go, and there's so much more to build, so back to work.

Hadn’t heard of OKLCH before. Cool way to build consistency across a color palette for people like me that struggle with color.

Super excited that our paper, co-authored with @junkato, on parameter-tuning widgets for creative software has been accepted to #UIST2025. It’s my first academic paper ever, which makes it way more special. #tweeqjs uist.acm.org/2025/program.ht…

Content alignment should be the first design skill any developer learns. These look cool, but what feels “off” is the alignment and spacing. A few small changes make a huge difference.
Check out this sleek Upload UI component! Perfect for keeping users informed during uploads. Loving the clean design by kristen17. Link in thread ↓

Streaming AI chat messages have introduced a new UX challenge. In apps like Whatsapp, messages are short and arrive all at once. Pinning messages to the bottom of the chat makes sense—it's expected, and works well for human interactions. But AI chats are a new paradigm ↓

Here’s a thread on Semantic Zoom — a UI design pattern that is becoming prominent in the design scene with AIs enabling multi-level text summaries.

Since Midjourney announced that they support creating videos with specific start and end frames, I had to try it. So I retextured the images with the JSON below and then used start and end frames to create a short video! Prompt 👇

TIL that the annoying little prompt that tells you to start a new chat automatically passes context to the new conversation. No more "please summarize this conversation so I can start a new chat".

Smart ad buy from @claudeai for those long tail unsearchable error strings. Not sure if i've ever seen this before.

Context switching when you wait for the AI to return definitely kills the feeling of flow, but I’ve never had more fun “coding” than right now. Building is getting closer and closer to moving at the speed of ideas.
coding isn't fun anymore :( i haven't had "flow state" for months, but i'm more productive than ever with Cursor agent

Ad styles that could never have been real in the first place will be the first to gain social acceptance. Focusing on inanimate objects reduces the ick factor. The decor may be too general for an IKEA ad but could easily be Amazon.
This Veo 3 prompt is literally ~$100,000 VFX ad🤯 Prompt in comment

Why is "npm run dev" @cursor_ai's kryptonite?

Today my junior dev proposed an in-memory cache for a service that is going to process millions of records - no redis, no eviction policy. Normally my senior dev would catch this. The problem is that my junior dev and my senior dev are the same Cursor.
