What are some of the most exciting and innovative AI-powered design projects that you have seen or worked on? How do you envision the future of product design and the role of AI in shaping it?
I m restyling a live app screen by screen, with Claude Code doing the edits. My test suite has 262 tests and all of them pass, but none of them check how a page looks. So a change to shared styles could break a screen and nothing would tell me.
Before each change, I have the agent screenshot every screen I m not supposed to touch, using a fake signed-in session and mocked API responses so no real data is involved. After the change, it captures them again and compares them pixel by pixel. Anything that differs has to be explained.
That caught something I would never have seen. 34 screens matched exactly. One modal didn t: 1,334 of about 215,000 pixels were different. To my eye, before and after looked identical. The cause was that my first version moved the page into a new wrapper, and the old container had been quietly centering the modal s heading. The new one didn t. No test would have complained.
It also showed that a modal kept outside the new wrapper still changed colour, because my theme variables are set on the whole page, not just the wrapper. I had to re-scope the old colours around the modal.
And it can be challenging to keep up! How do you supercharge your community growth? I don't understand how some communities really explode overnight suddenly. If you've cracked the code on building a thriving community, share your tips and tricks.
Naming is always a pain (even while coding). How do you proceed when you have a new product but can't find the right name? I've used Namelix but that doesn't really help For my previous startup we spent literally several weeks on this. What're your tips to get a good name?
A particular guy was complaining about too generous employee care system in Netherlands. (I am not Dutch, so I do not know the exact rules, but as for me, no system is completely fair to anybody.) I know that without written rules, either employees or employers can exploit it.
This year I purchased my first mouse with customisable keys - Logi M650, and I was mind-blown. I've always had a bad time remembering keyboard shortcuts and this mouse was a real life saver for me - as I could customise all my keyboard shortcuts on my mouse. it's the best gadget I purchased this year. What was your best purchase of 2022 that improved your productivity?
