I got accepted into something rare 🫢
A network where human taste shapes AI, for real.
Most AI tools are built to be fast, but a few are built to be good.
That distinction matters more than we think.
I just joined @Contra Labs, the frontier human data and evaluation lab helping make AI better for creativity by centering the one thing algorithms can't fake:
(human judgment)
thanks @Contra HQ
Very well deserved Ismel
Congrats Ismel!
Congrats
congrats man
Congrats.
Yaay!!
That line about fast vs good stayed with me, feels like we are only starting to understand that difference.
so true.

I just finished the Framer State of Sites 2026 report. Beyond the shiny UI trends, there are three massive shifts that actually impact your bottom line this year:
1. Speed is the only KPI that matters 🏎️
The "Design-to-Developer" handoff is officially a bottleneck.
The Shift: I’m moving clients from 3-month dev cycles to 1-week launch cycles. We spend less time "coding" and more time testing what actually converts your visitors.
2. The "Default AI" Trap ✍️
Every site is starting to look the same because of AI templates.
The Shift: To stand out in 2026, you need Human-Centric UI. I’m focusing on custom typography and "intentional" interactions that make your brand feel like a premium experience, not a generated one.
3. Total Ownership (No Maintenance Tax) 💰
The report highlights that "Site Rigidity" is the #1 killer of growth.
The Shift: I build "Living Sites." Once we launch, you (or your marketing lead) can swap text, images, or entire sections in seconds. No waiting for a developer. No "small change" invoices. You own your growth.
