teaching design students to code with LLMs, 1 month update:

1. projects are a lot more ambitious than i expected

they don't know what's hard, and AI will tell them to use a certain tech stack, so they just figure it out this is the class btw:

these are juniors in industrial design. about half of them don't have past experience even designing software or using figma

some have used figma before; some are taking intro to CS classesrisd-ai-studio.notion.site

anyway here's the story of how i worked with a cafe (isshiki matcha) to import the olympic village muffins for a popup in nyc...

i live by this saying: "don't look for problems, look for opportunities"

3 wks ago, every other video on my tiktok fyp was about the olympic village chocolate muffin. henrik's obsessed. everyone's obsessed.

i won't ever be an olympian, but i can probably get a muffin right?

the hardest things about being indie (an ongoing list)

1. not being legible to other people while you figure things out

ppl project their own values and assumptions onto me when im exploring and taking risks. im planting seeds but people just see bare soil

2. managing your own psychology & health

if i don’t believe in myself or if i get sick, everything stops
