Personal websites are getting more playful. Over the last few days, I've been exploring a new design for my home page. It was based on an idea I had last year but never got round to completing. Today I pushed it to prod.

Now that the noise around config is dying down, thought I would announce the next edition of design demo nights is happening next Friday on 23rd Oct. Designers, show us what you’ve been building luma.com/vx1nju6x

💯 agree with this assessment
I'm old as fuck, and Frieren is far LESS engaging to me because of it. It's a young or naive idea of what age means, and there is an undercurrent of parochialism and cruelty that I think is part of what draws so many fashy fucks. Witch Hat is a far more nuanced, mature work

Tell me you don't understand statistics without telling me you don't understand statistics. This chart shows the share of today’s infrastructure “built after 2014.” But if an economy grows ~6% a year, about half of everything it has will always have been built in the last 12 years. Take power. From 2002 to 2014, capacity went from ~105 GW to 249 GW, about 7.5% a year. From 2014 to 2026 it went from 249 to 540 GW, about 6.7% a year. The “54% built after 2014” headline hides slower growth than the decade before. Coal went from 565 to 1,000 MT, about 4.9% a year, roughly the same pace as the decade before. Transmission went from 2.9 to 5.0 lakh ckm, about 4.7% a year. Gas pipelines show the same pattern. These are trend lines, not breakthroughs. Solar isn't admissible here as module prices fell ~90% worldwide in the same period.
> India that is bullish on Infra > India that is bearish on instability. More than enough imo.

Throwback to last year’s Figma event 😛
Didn’t realize that this is what would happen when I registered for the Figma event

I’ve been to Art of Play many times for magic shows, and Molly the purely mechanical bird is really cool. Here’s a video I shot last year. I can see why Kelly Clarkson would want to buy it. But also, Kelly Clarkson + Art of Play’s Molly is so random a collision that I’m upgrading my belief in the simulation hypothesis

The fashion industry has stayed relevant thanks to taste, why wont software?
I no longer see any compelling reason to believe that taste is some permanent boundary LLMs won’t cross. It’s already happening.

Replying to @nammaarya
ORR was designed by the same engineers Do you think we should trust them to make 120km more of flyovers? Here's a presentation to understand all the issues we have identified with the proposed project elevated-corridors-slides.pa… Govt itself has noted many more

new post: collecting favours sunilpai.dev/posts/collectin… a post on the idea of "reputation". tried writing it a few times as an abstract thing and I hated it, so instead I just wrote about my dad.

Every week someone gets called out for copying others’ work without a second thought. @annaluciacodes writes about finding her art copied into a “tool” and how to copy someone’s work the right way. annaluciawrites.substack.com…

There's been a lot of "design is dead" talk this year. So at @DesignUpConf last week, @rasagy and I built our workshop around a better question: how does a designer actually navigate this landscape? and what value does a designer still bring to the table?

This was our fourth beginner-level workshop this year, and we made this one more interactive. In the first half, everyone reflected on their own design practice and heard from others about where AI could amplify, augment or automate their work.

Then after a tea break, everyone sat down and built stuff, while Rasagy and I went table to table answering questions and showing people more examples on how they could build better workflows.
