Personal websites are getting more playful. Over the last few days, I've been exploring a new design for my home page. It was based on an idea I had last year but never got round to completing. Today I pushed it to prod.

That’s edition 8 wrapped up for Design Demo Nights! 7 demos, lot of new faces and good conversations over dinner.

nice to see a leader take accountability
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

Its funny because its true
I saw someone saying they'd review your portfolio earlier. Thought I’d do the same, except I have no qualifications, no experience, and no intention of being fair. So basically, if you want me to treat you like I'm a hiring manager, send your portfolios.

Now that the noise around config is dying down, thought I would announce the next edition of design demo nights is happening next Friday on 23rd Oct. Designers, show us what you’ve been building luma.com/vx1nju6x

💯 agree with this assessment
I'm old as fuck, and Frieren is far LESS engaging to me because of it. It's a young or naive idea of what age means, and there is an undercurrent of parochialism and cruelty that I think is part of what draws so many fashy fucks. Witch Hat is a far more nuanced, mature work

Tell me you don't understand statistics without telling me you don't understand statistics. This chart shows the share of today’s infrastructure “built after 2014.” But if an economy grows ~6% a year, about half of everything it has will always have been built in the last 12 years. Take power. From 2002 to 2014, capacity went from ~105 GW to 249 GW, about 7.5% a year. From 2014 to 2026 it went from 249 to 540 GW, about 6.7% a year. The “54% built after 2014” headline hides slower growth than the decade before. Coal went from 565 to 1,000 MT, about 4.9% a year, roughly the same pace as the decade before. Transmission went from 2.9 to 5.0 lakh ckm, about 4.7% a year. Gas pipelines show the same pattern. These are trend lines, not breakthroughs. Solar isn't admissible here as module prices fell ~90% worldwide in the same period.
> India that is bullish on Infra > India that is bearish on instability. More than enough imo.

Throwback to last year’s Figma event 😛
Didn’t realize that this is what would happen when I registered for the Figma event

I’ve been to Art of Play many times for magic shows, and Molly the purely mechanical bird is really cool. Here’s a video I shot last year. I can see why Kelly Clarkson would want to buy it. But also, Kelly Clarkson + Art of Play’s Molly is so random a collision that I’m upgrading my belief in the simulation hypothesis

The fashion industry has stayed relevant thanks to taste, why wont software?
I no longer see any compelling reason to believe that taste is some permanent boundary LLMs won’t cross. It’s already happening.

Replying to @nammaarya
ORR was designed by the same engineers Do you think we should trust them to make 120km more of flyovers? Here's a presentation to understand all the issues we have identified with the proposed project elevated-corridors-slides.pa… Govt itself has noted many more
