I know there's a whole other world of things happening beyond these initial landing pages, but it's interesting to see how quickly the doorway to AI has settled on this _very_ familiar pattern. I guess this is it for the next 30 years as well?

A Simpsons meme panel. First panel everyone's looking at Bart expectantly saying "Say the line". Second panel Bart looks dejected and is saying "Ah, you're absolutely right - I apologize for overcomplicating it.". Third panel everyone is cheering in delight.

Still very much in the honeymoon phase, but Cursor + Figma MCP is some of the most fun I've had with software since early in my career. Low floor, high ceiling, addictive feedback loops. Definitely helps to know what you're doing though.

Something about atomic design helped click design systems for me and helped me with combining a few different skills. That plus you write with a rare approachability, openness, and clarity.

I've been largely absent from the 'other place'—aside from the occasional lurking—since 2020, when it became toxic to my mental health. Somewhat starting from scratch, so bear with me as I figure out what I'm doing here.

It's the power of language I think! Despite being fully aware of what LLMs are, I still find myself writing little anthro phrases like "Can you" and "Please". But when the LLM does this e.g. "I've been thinking about something you said recently" it weirds me out. It's a funny line.

The combo of starter packs and the recent migration here from other places seems to have finally awakened Bluesky for me. Tried before, more than once, but found it too much effort to get past a feed that was like two cool people then a load of artistic communities which are not my cup of tea...
