We’re hiring our next product designer at OpenAI to help ChatGPT reach its full potential. I believe we're at an inflection point for human-computer interaction, and this is an opportunity to help shape the next chapter. openai.com/careers/product-d…

Just started using the Warp app (a modern take on the macOS Terminal), and it's amazing 🤩
Once you try it, you'll never want to open Terminal again

Why does hot coffee taste so yummy, but room temperature coffee tastes bleh?
Is there a scientific reason or is it all in my head?

Do you use a Mac with a trackpad? If so, you may have noticed that the pinch to zoom gesture can randomly stop working.
I've been bothered by it enough that I made a small menubar tool that can fix the problem with one click.
Download it here: github.com/danqing/Pinch
iPad tip that I learned from an 8-year-old:
On the on-screen keyboard, swipe down on the first row of letters to quickly type numbers. Like swipe down on "q" to type 1, swipe down on "w" to type 2, etc 🤯
When using @figma, I often lose the ability to zoom in/out with my Mac trackpad. Happens at least a few times a day 😓
I can fix this by going into my trackpad settings and turning the zoom off/on, but there's gotta be a better way
Has anyone found a permanent fix to this?
One of the best feelings in life is hearing an old album that you used to love—about 20 years later 🎶
Thanks for bringing the good vibes and memories during today's retro @GeraldSornsen
Had a lot of fun working on this latest feature for @LatticeHQ! It's a more visual, interactive way for managers and HR folks to calibrate employees.
Feel free to reach out if you're interested in trying it at your company
Product priorities that don't really mean anything:
- "Sooner rather than later"
- "As soon as possible"
- "In the near future"
- "In our backlog"
- "P2"/"P3"
Do I know anyone who works in healthcare tech?
A friend of mine is looking for their next role as a mid-level designer, in case you have any openings!

Get it hot off the press 🔥 the Working with UX Writers Figmanual by @figma's own @chrisbaty, @AndrewSchmidtFC, Sylvie, and Ryan!
Had so much fun working with this wonderful group of people 😊
I had my first performance review at Lattice today, and it may have been the most meaningful performance review I've ever had
Mad props to @erondu and @mikisetlur for showing me the light. This company practices what it preaches 🙏
