The real AI advantage isn't visible.
Behind the scenes, I spend serious money on AI tokens every month. Not for writing blog posts or generating images. For connecting data sources, synthesizing research across dozens of documents, and building internal tools.
Every output still gets validated. Nothing goes out the door without human review. The AI handles the grunt work of pulling information together so I can focus on the judgment calls.
That's the pattern most people miss. The highest-value AI usage looks boring. It's data work. It's synthesis. It's tooling. No one sees it, and that's the point. The visible output is still human expertise. AI just made the path to get there faster.

Thinking about making a course on how I actually work with AI agents.
Not prompts.
The rules, skills and checks that make the agent build things the way my repo wants.
Would that be useful to anyone?
Yes please. The rules and checks part is what nobody teaches. Prompt tips are everywhere, repo setup isn't.
Feels like a lot of companies are trying their luck with AI instead of hiring designers right now.
I think it's going to backfire on them in a few months.
Trying to stay optimistic about it.
I can't wait for them to start hiring designers again. No matter how good AIs are, Human Intelligence will always supercede it.
Melting Point is on Dribbble now ☺️🌍
A website concept about global warming, with a melting Statue of Liberty at the center. As you scroll, the scene slowly changes — until there’s water where the monument used to be.
Wanted to explore how motion could tell this story. Sharing a closer look at the result 🖤
