It’s for Coho customers, but they reserved a few seats under “Friends of Cat Noone” ticket type at sign up.

Come hang with us! lu.ma/ut6rt4pr/

Do you consider Adjustable Interfaces the same as Probabilistic Interfaces?

I wrote about them in my latest newsletter → open.substack.com/pub/imcatnoo...

Thanks to my Intern (Claude) for being super encouraging knowing good and well that zero double checking of the documentation occurred. 😂

I will always remember pitching Paul for a donation back in like 2015 or 2016—as a YC alum—and he sat there bragging and laughing about how much money he had, but refused to donate any (to my org).

Jessica is the one that gave much later

Of course he can’t recognize evil

the foundational myth of the tech industry is that smart people can't be evil

I was wrong. It’s definitely this week.

Very excited about the new Projects feature in ChatGPT. Was super useful in Claude. Unfortunately there's currently no native feature to link previous chats automatically.

You'd need to manually copy relevant content or summaries into the new project’s workspace. Hopefully it's coming!

Anybody know why the Desktop breakpoint in
@framer.com wouldn't be showing for me all of a sudden?

Spent the last couple of weekends playing around with @framer.com — using a fun new thing as a playground.

1. Learning curve is low.
2. Foundational UI is simple = easy to experiment → break things → ship.
3. Accessibility in yo' face! You should look forward to more options though...soon. 😜

“design can be an orchestration layer across the company, unifying disparate groups that touch the customer experience [...] The biggest challenge is breaking the traditional mold that cybersecurity can’t be user-friendly or visually appealing."

AI really does just run off and do its own thing if you let it. Had it change the margin-bottom of a text section at the top of my app, and it decided to do that but also completely remove the pagination of the data-table at the bottom of the app. 💀

Pro-Tip: I learned from my mistake and now push to Github fairly often. However, after any major change[s] I prompt Claude in Cursor with #GithubCommit and it prints out a title + summary.

Need some help: What are shows, software, etc. that visually embody what you think of as the "80s" style? (e.g. Squiggly lines, neon colors, etc.)

Did anybody who designed the onboarding flow for the Xbox do user testing?

Because I have questions (and thoughts) after 45min of set up.
