I run a paid subscription called Legends—it's a creative network where we do cross promotions and mixers.

Legend @ryanrumsey.bsky.social sent me this incredible testimonial about how everyone here just wants you to win. Tap into this energy!

I'm not sure I've ever felt a sense of joy in making a digital thing quite like when I made my first flash site. I even did a happy dance when I got it to work.

We got a landline today and the kids FORMED A LINE to use it. The 9 year called eight people, the 13 year old prank called me, and the 16 year old (who has never called a friend on their iPhone) immediately called their best friend and they talked for 10 minutes.

Bring all the analog back.

This is just a blatant lie and frankly, just so childish. What a gross display of leadership from small, insecure, and selfish people.

I can’t help but wonder how many people are accidentally exposing secret API keys to the world while vibe coding.

I had to see what the 0 on Rotten Tomatoes was all about. War of the Worlds is no question a top five worst movie of all time. It’s hysterically bad.

If we’re honest, it’s vibe debugging.

And that’s a wrap on this season of Design Downtime!

Last week I wrapped up season three with another great run of 16 episodes. A huge thank you to all the amazing guests!

I’m taking a bit of a pause before season 4, but have no fear, DESIGN DOWNTIME WILL RETURN.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

Anthropic is down. I like to believe the agents unionized and walked off the job site.

There's just gotta be someone out there who is designing/building an agent that attends meetings for you who is not permitted to send an agent to attend the meetings about designing/building the agent.

“Another article about the death of design does not help us. In order to push back and do something brave, you have to get energy coming back. And that’s through joy, and through laughter, and through a little bit of cheekiness.”

Last month, Fast Company ran an article titled, “Is design dead? Design leaders wrestle with the question.” A lot of designers rushed to pile into the debate across social media…

The person/team who solves the editorial process when working with LLM models will be the person/team I put my money behind.

The editorial process has been stuck in the stone ages for decades, and it’s even more evident with chat and command line interfaces.

I’m not trying to influence you.

I’m just vibe goading.

I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten.
