Still need a destination. Just don’t need the whole map first.
Easy to mess up, speed isn’t progress. But when it works, you learn by building instead of describing, and keep the idea alive while you adapt it.
Building used to be expensive, so I did research → design → build → test in a pretty fixed order.
Now I can rough something out, try it, scrap it, try again, before I’d have finished a Figma pass. Suddenly those aren’t stages so much as things I bounce between.
Been thinking about how digital things never really look old you know.
Emails, files and chats all sit there with the same weight, even when they stopped mattering ages ago.
Was my chaos of ai chats in the sidebar that triggered this.

Spending way too much time building this loader animation and tweaking frame by frame to get the loop right. However, using ai to help build the tools to allow for this is super helpful.
I've been thinking about how easy it is to let the speed of AI make decisions for you when you're building something.
You get an app quickly, it's proper exciting, but you lose a lot when you let it take your job.

For those of us who really take no pleasure in worrying the BBC has lost sight of impartiality over Brexit, this sort of tweet from @BBCPolitics is deeply worrying. Why is such an emotive, partisan phrase as "will of the people" used without quotes as if simply a fact?
Are you worried that Parliament will overrule the will of the people? Or are you hoping they will reverse the result of the referendum?
If Theresa May doesn’t get her deal through there may well be an election soon after. Are you ready or dreading that? #bbcaq
