Where AI is concerned, we are a strong believer in focusing on craftsmanship and mastery because those two areas of our work are the kind that an AI can't replace. Things like critical thinking, problem solving, human taste (judgement). #designengineering #craftsmanship #mastery #AI

The point is whether a rough thing that runs beats a neat thing that does not, when both are made under these constraints.

So far it does. Ask me again in a month.

Which tool in your stack would you miss least?

This is an old post by now but I’ll keep reposting it as the gap between design and development still needs to be explained.

The Gap
Creating design systems and implementing the design in web applications and websites is often deceptively hard. Why? There is this Gap.

The web and deskilling of its practitioners is odd to say the least. Front-end, what is that? That's a pre-AI thingy, right?

Front-end doesn't exist
Deskilling has led to a lack of front-end developers and the awareness of which skills are actually needed to hire for

Hello 🦋 world! I’m a software designer from India, with a deep interest in code & computing.

Exploring ways to bridge the two sides, #designengineering seems to be where it’s at!

Looks niche (is it?), but hoping to learn & grow in this direction 🤞

Always open to connect, let’s build cool stuff!

I'm working on some presentations I'll be giving in 2025. Prefab Design Systems. Are they just half-arsed or a necessity?

The biggest impact of AI on our design system wasn’t speed.
It was turning designers into builders.

Al isn’t automating our design system. It’s changing how designers build, own, and evolve it.

Curious to see how much of this animation work is still best left to CSS. Frontend craft is all about knowing the right tool for the job. #frontend #css #designengineering
CSS vs. JavaScript
There are a bunch of JavaScript animation libraries out there, and you might have wondered whether there’s a performance cost compared to traditional CSS transitions and keyframe animations. In this blog post, we’ll compare the same animation across several different strategies and see the differences firsthand. There’s some interesting nuance here!

Just dropped a demo-heavy episode where Designer @jake.cosmic.plumbing & Engineer @tres.cosmic.plumbing team up with Codex—and it kinda changed how we see LLMs as coding partners. Plus, we answered our first viewer check-in! 🚀 #AI #LLM #DesignEngineering #Codex

Thinking about local-first architecture, still feels like a trade-off between complexity and offline affordance. Curious how this addresses the skepticism. #webdesign #designengineering

Agent access via long-lived tokens feels like asking for trouble. Moving webhook verification server-side to Vercel Connect sounds like a smarter approach. #designengineering
Introducing Vercel Connect
Giving your agents access to your tools, data, and services is what makes them useful. As agents perform deeper work across systems, authenticating and authorizing that access becomes central to your application architecture. Today, agent access is usually granted through long-lived provider tokens stored in your environment variables, provisioned for everything your agent might need. These tokens are shared across every user, never expire, and give your agent full reach across every task, no ma
