“hey I’m the head of design” - the only designer at a 50-person company
hey, wanna be a founding designer at my startup? we have no taste but we keep hearing ux/design is the biggest differentiator in the ai slop era. btw we're going to give you less equity than the next ten engineers we hire tho. i promise, we're going to be so design-driven, you will love it here. we're also not going to hire another designer until we have like thirty engineers. pls join, we have no idea how to interview designers.

I actually know someone who’s building a calorie tracker app by taking pictures of your food. It’s been 3 months.

My friend has > $20,000 in parking tickets... so I built an AI agent to pay for them and made it open source.
For context: while I was at Berkeley I found out that it was actually cheaper to pay parking tickets than to pay $200+ per month for a spot.
Each ticket was 43 dollars — which meant that as long as I got no more than 1 ticket a week the economics was viable.
