Finished up the first demo for my talk next month. Goal is to give an intro to generative design by progressively adding more "generative" features and explaining why we need them. [video in 2 parts because of limits..] #generativedesign #generative #isometric #generativeart

To grow as a designer, this is your foundation. The qualities AI cannot replace, only amplify:

Taste lives at the intersection of creation and consumption. Consumption broadens possibilities. Creation sharpens it. This back and forth refines your intuition for what matters.

Having a kitchen doesn’t make you a chef. The number of creative AI tools is exploding. They can feel like creative superpowers, but it is still your job to put in the reps. You can’t generate taste.

I'm launching a blog. In 2025. After saying blogging was dead. I was wrong!!! Journalists and writers like @andydehnart.com and @maliha.site have shown me how wrong I was about this. Why I'm doing this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXq... The blog: RevenueRulebreaker.com

IT WORKS! I think I need some sound effects though. Also some real sprites.

How do the best stories hook you immediately? I read A LOT of fiction, and it all comes down to the same thing. Engaging stories hook you with one compelling character before introducing anything else that would be a distraction. This rule applies to more than just writing.

The line between design & code are blurring. But traditional career paths force you to pick a lane: "I only write code" "I'm just the designer" "That's not my department" "Someone else handles that part" But what if…

✅ DAY 1 Ali came up with a really good idea of some family procedures to keep things more routine and sane for both us and the kiddos. Bonus benefit: They will start getting the kids in the rhythm of responsibilities.

What is one thing you think would make 2025 more successful for our family?
