Can someone explain why the iOS settings search does not work? It’s a feature an intern could build. Very confusing

False dichotomy. You can work extremely hard in the trenches and also spend time with friends in the sun. Do not accept anything less.
no, I think I’m going to make it. I’m going to go outside and lay in the sun and drink wine with people I love and I won’t let the world pass me by I’m going to be tan and happy and beautiful my eyes won’t be hollowed out and sunken in and I’m not going to be 90 years old on my deathbed thinking Damn Bro I Should Have Spent More Time Glued To The Charts Bro when your soul exits your body towards the tunnel of light and your life flashes before your eyes, the last memories you want are of this. This grey and lifeless room. They are called the trenches for a reason. They’re miserable and dark and cold and when you’re in the trenches no one loves you. Exit the trenches and feel the warmth of a lovers embrace. Pivot away from Greed. SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!!

@code_sagar @shl @protosphinx My guess: we’re just going to produce more software, and better quality software. Given the bottom 90% is easier to produce, we can now focus on the last 10% and make apps really good. There might be less growth in engineering roles, but even then I’m not sure.

@evisdrenova Ya that makes sense to me. They just can’t sleep on it like they did with copilot

Interactive mocks are way better, but they still suffer (mostly) the same problem that Eng needs to convert those mocks into production code. If the mocks generated use the same UI components the production app is using, problem is mostly solved But today these prototypes are frequently using libraries not used in production

@dylmichaelc Incredibly funny tweet for those who know the reference. This deserves to do numbers

@Austen once AI improves a lot, this will be true. And that's likely not far off. but as of now, more debt definitely makes AI harder to use.

skipping PRDs and only using prototypes totally ignores the "writing is thinking" part of the process more quickly going to working software is awesome, but you need words to describe the state of world, the goal, and where things are going

@thatguybg This is a trend I like. If we’re gonna copy a design style all over the place, a nice blue sky with clouds while you’re looking at a screen is a great thing to copy.

Great feature, but in a world where AI is quickly making these static design tools less relevant, I’m eager to see Figma release AI features that help people functioning software.

@keithwhor @cursor_ai yes! Cursor does not do well with technical debt where things are poorly named to the point where a human is also confused. you really pay the price for technical debt with ai

@keithwhor @cursor_ai I do find this (pre-ai) workflow is excellent with ai too:. Obviously not all system components can be built this way though
A lot of the same workflows that have worked for developing UI before AI, also work great with AI: 1. Build isolated prototypes of the specific interaction you want 2. Refactor code for broader reusability 3. Integrate into your larger codebase I find isolating early on helps the AI stay focused. And then when integrating into your codebase, the ai can focus on integration only rather than core interaction + integration at the same time.
