The ability to answer the question "Is it good?" I think is one of the most important and pressing questions of this age.
Whew. What a week. We have some hard but important news to share about the Kickstarter: blog.fontawesome.com/pausing-kick...
Weβll be back soon!
I made it in Claude Code and pointed to my design system!
MIDI + Design Tokens = new possibilities! If you want to learn about how to use AI and design systems together to help make better β and even wildly new! β digital things, you can sign up for our AI and Design Systems course here: aianddesign.systems
I was walking Bootsy in the park, and stumbled onto a guy who was filling a jug with spring water. We went from "hello" to nature, beauty, world religions, aliens, psychedelics, taoism, human rights, and more in like 2 minutes. It was very strange but also a really fun Friday surprise.
βAnthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differencesβ is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that itβs not become a question of βshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?β but βto what extent?β

This was a lot of fun! I had an idea to drum to other peoples' workout playlists: youtu.be/FtZOC7rpdr0
Overheard on the street: βRick is the biggest generator of AI slop at the company. Itβs so obvious too.β

I'm about to send out my first newsletter in a while, so it's packed full of all sorts of stuff! I'd love it if you subscribed! bradfrost.com/newsletter/
OOOOOOOOH MAN
Share a link to your workout playlist.
I love this so much: bradfrost.com/blog/link/ol...
We take so much for granted, so I freaking love to be reminded of the magic of recorded music.
So difficult
What's your favorite button of all time? Could be a physical button, UI button, doesn't matter. Favorite button of all time.

This. Building real-time shared understanding is huge.
So @ian-frost.bsky.social and I decided to do something crazy and attempt to play this Angine de Poitrine song totally cold: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg1P...
No learning, warm-up, anything. Just let 'er rip! It's so hard to follow, but feel like we ended up in the ballpark.
This is something Iβve been in some state of either doing or trying to convince orgs to try for a decade now. When we do it, itβs glorious, every single time, but itβs way outside the realm of what some orgs are willing to entertain. Iβll also say it becomes super easy with a good design system.
We're about to try a similar approach in a usability test setting! π«£
We'll be using a baseline prototype for all sessions and then comparing the different unique outputs at the end of each session after iterating with research participants.
"A prototype is worth 1000 meetings." But what if the meeting _is_ the prototype?
Thatβs the spirit of an idea Iβm calling βReal-time UIβ. The tools now exist to generate UI in realtime, making it possible to convert a conversation into a working digital thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDR7...
If you're interested in learning how to wield AI & Design Systems together to make amazing digital things, consider joining our community by preordering our AI & Design Systems course: aianddesign.systems
As I see it, real-time UI can help:
β Visualize UI components in real-time
β Visualize product design in real-time.
β Wield your design systemβs infrastructure to make realistic things.
β Minimize the friction involved in making prototypes
β Open the door to a more participatory design process.
