Started playing with pretext over breakfast, and I can confirm, this is really cool
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
Really great role with a really great team!
I am hiring a Principal Brand Designer to join the brand team at @tryramp.
This is a special role that will be influencing and building upon many of our upcoming flagship projects and building up the new brand system we shipped in July.
I’ve been here 9 months. This is my third growth stage startup. I’ve shipped more in 9 months than probably 2-3 years combined.
In the 9 months I’ve joined, the brand team has done..
- New homepage
- New brand system in 4 weeks
- Stack branding and launch
- We work on every T1 project across the org
- Brand as software philosophy and internal agents that can generate 10/10 assets for teams
- Careers page (ramp.com/careers)
- Accounts Receivable launch
- OnRamp, our customer-facing event
- Branding the new offices
- Brand architecture and the narrative that will shape the future of Ramp
- ramp.design/
- And we’re shipping more major projects
A designer may work on one T1 project a year, and the rest of their time is bending the knee to CMOs and non-creatives who talk down to designers. Not here and not with my team.
For example, my designer Cristina Keane, in three months joining, shipped Router.com with the team, pushed the brand system into web and various T2/T3 pages, and is cooking up a major launch.
We don’t do endless reviews. I trust all my designers to make decisions. You will never have to present to a group of stakeholders to get “alignment.”
You know how we landed that brand refresh in 4 weeks? Because @diegozaks and I stay close. I sent Supercuts. He adds comments. He trusts. We cook. We ship. We make it better and better, we aren't precious about perfection.
What I’m looking for is someone that is like dark matter. Someone who operates like this warps their surroundings, pulling in everything into their orbit. You run through walls because of conviction and clarity, and people run after you, because they want to work with you.
I need someone who is “not playing with AI” but fundamentally breaking their brain every week to embody this new world and this alien technology. I look for character and portfolio: who are you and what have you shipped? Above all, where are you going? I genuinely don't care you’re cracked on Twitter; if anything that’s an anti-signal.
Here’s the official job description: jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp/72c3ef…
Apply slowly and thoughtfully. The core ethos of my team is “Execution over everything.” Good ideas win at Ramp. Not 12 meetings about a document and a bunch of non-makers telling designers what to do.
You’re going to join the one of the few brand teams in tech that will pave the way for how teams like us work and behave. I get emails every week from other leaders at top companies asking how we do what we do.
If you email my personal (or worse, text me), I'm sorry but I will block you. There's just too much spam. I am working with @CHammond4855 on this directly.
this folding animation is proof that apple has always been the best at making software feel physical
very late life update:
I joined @OpenAI’s creative team a few months ago
would’ve announced it sooner but we kept launching things
the cool thing about canvas-first tools is that you can test ideas like these in a couple of minutes without having to vibecode anything at all
obsessed with how nice and simple this @tryramp animation is

What comes after automation? we built a whole visual world to ask it. meet Thesis 2027, from @every.

How you do the little things is how you do everything
BREAKING:
When today’s jobs are automated by AI, what will great human work look like?
This is the most important question of our time.
Introducing Thesis Statements, a new project from @every bringing together 100 builders and thinkers to call their shot:
We asked them to make a specific prediction about what great human work will look like after automation.
Today we’re launching the first 25 Thesis Statements from an incredible group including:
• @karrisaarinen
• @cjpedregal
• @neuranne
• @yash_tek
• @komorama
• @fkpxls
• @jonnym1ller
• @p_millerd
• @sariazout
• @tomcritchlow
• @SimoneStolzoff
And 14 more amazing builders and thinkers.
At @every we believe there is a bright future for human work after automation. And we believe that there’s a small group of humans who know what it looks like—because they live the answers every day.
But their ideas are still largely missing from the mainstream discourse about AI. That’s why we’re creating a public record of what people at the frontier are seeing now, so we can get these ideas to as many people as possible.
We’ll also revisit them over time, and ask: Which claims held up? Which didn’t? Which became more useful as the technology changed—and which dissolved on contact with the world?
Read them, argue with them, share them, and submit your own:

We're hiring!
At Every, we build AI products and write from the frontier. We're obsessed with answering the question: What does great human work look like after automation?
Open roles:
• Head of Growth
• Office Manager / Executive Assistant
• Senior Product Designer
• Senior Video Producer

spending $1K on a vacuum sounds insane until you realize this isn't a vacuum, it's the first intelligent home robot that you can actually buy
Introducing Cues: Voice & Gesture control for Matic
We raised $115M and spent 9 years to make the world’s first intuitive home robot
Say you spilled coffee: Point to the spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this" and it will hear, see, locate in 3D, and go clean on its own.
Matic comes with a lot of features:
1. Say "Hey Matic" - it locates your voice, turns, and looks at you
2. Say "Hey Matic, follow me" and start walking. Matic will follow behind
3. Say "Hey Matic, go clean the living room". Since it knows your house map, it navigates and just does it
It's so easy, a 5 year old and an 80 year old can use it and it understands 75 different languages.
Matic has 8x the airflow, specialised cleaning algorithms for rugs, corners, toekicks, mopping, etc and cleans better than any other robot vacuum.
Also keeps improving with software updates.
13,000 families use and love Matic.
WIRED magazine gave it a 10/10 (the only hardware to receive this rating in a decade)
Buy yours at maticrobots.com and if you don't love it after 6 months, we'll give you a full refund.
To celebrate our launch, we're cleaning 300 homes with Matic in San Francisco and New York City.
Comment "Matic" below, we'll send you the link to sign up and come to your doorstep to clean your home with Matic.
