One of my favorite times of year is attending #Config with my wife Sarah. It’s also a special chance to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, hear the latest from Figma, and soak up the energy, creativity, and inspiration that make our industry so special.

This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads. Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude. In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.

design has to be in the founding DNA of your company for it to be a forever priority otherwise it won’t seep through every corner of your org like it needs to because it becomes an uphill battle to justify its place you can buy it and hire it, but it won’t be the same

People always ask me “how do you develop taste?” And I say “go to the niche telephone museum and study the origin of buttons and don’t be a little bitch”

Fable isn't the first. In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold. Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

iOS 27 framework references “foldState” and “angleDegrees” but I’m sure that’s nothing

On a serious note, the last the time we had Design Principles in the HIG was much too long ago. With the help of the Apple design team they are back and completely refreshed. Please take a moment with them. We’re in an era where the responsibility of being a designer is more important than ever and hope these principles help guide you as much as they guide us. developer.apple.com/design/human-i…

@vinvan @yaroshevych I do mostly macOS/iOS development. To date I’m using either local agents or a dedicated Mac mini. Have you solved cloud based Apple ecosystem development?

Steve Jobs on How to Develop Taste: “I don't think my taste in aesthetics is that much different than a lot of other people's. The difference is that I just get to be really stubborn about making things as good as we all know they can be. That's the only difference. “ The interviewer says, “I think you’re being modest” “Well, things get more refined as you make mistakes. I've had a chance to make a lot of mistakes. Your aesthetics get better as you make mistakes, but the real big thing is if you're going to make something, it doesn't take any more energy and rarely does it take more money to make it really great. All it takes is a little more time, not that much more, and a willingness to do so. A willingness to persevere until it's really great.”
