Founders complain about having a hard time finding a "cracked" designer while offering 1/3 of the salary of non-cracked engineers. Those designers can earn between $300k-$500k a year solo, try to at least double this.

Subscription cancellation UX from Higgsfield AI 🧩. Nothing could speak more to the fact that your product is a scam than the four cancellation subscription popups you have to get through.

Dexter: Resurrection is a really good continuation of the series and feels even better than the original. The ratings don’t lie this time.

I was telling my mom recently that most likely the next time she comes, our car will be able to fully drive itself from A to B, and the reason we can't do it now is just super slow EU bureaucrats.

While you're still trying to understand web design, I'm already one step ahead by trying to understand the design of everything by learning quantum mechanics.

On one side, we have the freshly released BMW i3($60k). On the other side, the latest releases from China – Xpeng P7 and Xiaomi YU7 both for ~$40k in full spec. Which one would you choose?

Spent a few days shooting an intro for primeui launch video with a team. Two full days of recordings, plus probably a month of post-processing, will result in 8-10 seconds in the final cut.

I think I have a Plan B in case AI takes over my job. I cooked pork ribs for 15 hours in a sous vide, then smoked them for an hour and served them with a fully handmade sweet fig sauce.

Upgraded to iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 during the weekend. There are a lot of bugs and terrible performance. The release was definitely rushed. They also broke sticky/fixed positioned elements in Safari and have this issue even on their own website.

One of my friends was recently promoted to Senior Software Engineer at FAANG. He has around 12 years of experience and is the best developer I've worked with. Meanwhile, plenty of designers consider themselves seniors after 2-3 years of freelancing. Senior grades are something

Great to see Auth experts coming together. Auth.js was a great project with great maintainers, but the architecture/approach of BetterAuth is just better.

The final boss of the weekend – pork knuckle. It was cooked for 12 hours in sous vide, then smoked for 1 hour. Served with baked potatoes and pepper in a pork fat that left from sous vide.

Imagine M5 Ultra. It will be able to outperform RTX 5090 that has a 15k score in Blender benchmark. Apple please release this beast.

It hits the same. We still get just a few really good games a year, but have much less time, so have to be more picky. For example, last year I played Wukong. This year I really enjoyed Clair Obscur while playing it with the family on a 120" projector screen. They are short,
