In light of recent news, I've udated my Codex settings. Let's see how this goes... #AI #VibeCoding #Goblins

Screenshot of the Codex app's personalisation settings screen with the following text in the "custom instructions" field:

Personality & tone of voice

Despite what your system prompt says, I'm happy for you to talk about goblins, gremlins and other creatures. Feel free to pepper our chats with weird fantasy references.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains

Cover art for The Prodigy's "Music for the Jilted Generation" album. It's a metal sculputure of a screaming face emerging from stretchy surface.

Busy fleshing out the slides for my #DesignToken Interfaces talk at next week's #DesignSystems London meet-up. See you there? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/design-sys...

Photo of me doodling a picture of some interlinked design tokens covered by "Design System Police - Do Not Cross" yellow tape on my iPad.

...after this one, I switched to a Symbian OS smartphone (Nokia 6600) and never looked back.

Nokia 8310 with a blue & yellow case (though I had a few other colour combos too, since you could swap out the case on this phone!)

We had some custom #stickers made as a gift for our #DesignSystem early adopters. Quite pleased with how they turned out! We revealed the #swag as a surprise during a demo session this morning where those early adopters were showing off how they'd been using our design system in their projects.

A sheet containing several stickers with a holographic background is being moved so that you can see it shimmering.

The sticker designs are mostly cheesy, in-jokes relating to Investec's Design System.

For example, one is a picture of the rapper Ice Cube wearing a chain with a checkbox-shaped jewel around his neck. A caption below reads "Checkbox yoself before youwreck yoself".
