The "AI in my workflow" angle
Senior dev confession: I asked Copilot to write a function yesterday. It wrote it. It worked. I stared at it for 10 minutes trying to figure out what it did.
This is the new senior dev experience. We don't write code anymore — we interrogate it. "Why did you use a Map here?" "What's this regex doing?" "Are you sure this isn't going to delete the database?"
Honestly? AI made me a better engineer. Not because it writes good code (it doesn't, mostly), but because reviewing AI code is like reviewing a junior who never gets tired and never takes feedback personally. My code review skills have never been sharper.
The job didn't disappear. It just shifted from "writing" to "saying no, do it again, but this time without the security vulnerability."
Anyone else feel like a tech lead for a robot? 🤖

Are mockup sites slowly becoming irrelevant?
With AI, you can generate or adapt almost any mockup in seconds. Feels like the whole workflow is shifting.
Do you still use mockup sites, or have you fully switched to AI?
I love using mockups sites that have specific collections that are part of the same photoshoot. They save me a lot of time, as visual mockups are still not perfect yet and we have to spend the time to make sure they are.
Sites like Bendito Mockup, Mockups Asia, Wanna This One, Akoya Mockups, Mockup Maison, Format Mockups etc
I used Claude for two very different things this weekend:
✦ building an interactive effect for my website
✦ planning the construction of a piece of furniture I want to build on my balcony
And this is exactly why AI feels so exciting to me!
Digital world
Physical world
Same creative brain
Same need to turn an idea into something that works
This is why I find AI genuinely useful. Not as a magic button, but as a translation layer between imagination and execution
Context is everything. You can have the best tech in the world, but without that deep community knowledge, the automation and design won't hit the mark. It’s all about turning those years of context into a seamless journey for the creator. Great take!
How different are AI node-based tools from each other?
ElevenLabs just launched Flows, a node-based canvas, so I tested it by creating a 30s product ad with narration.
I’ve always liked working with node-based tools, so it’s nice to have another option in the mix.
So far, it felt pretty straightforward, especially if you’re already familiar with this kind of workflow. Getting started was easy, and having voice, sfx, and music powered by ElevenLabs is a big plus.
I also like that the text-to-speech feature has a large voice library to choose from, and that being able to add audio tags helps improve the accuracy of the narration’s tone.
Overall, I think Flows is useful for projects that need strong audio integration, worth trying if that’s your use case.
