Since I'm making my own reasoning model based on my own data, I figured I'd find a way to make annotating that data more fun.04 Dec 2025 16:21 +0000at://did:plc:ffuh5jnfl5d75nlpr3ce2xb2/app.bsky.feed.post/3m76ewmwbp22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/darianrosebrook.com/post/3lx3qwx5rm22eBeen playing with figma make for a bit. It’s so close to being a good product.

Any robust system should be tool agnostic, outcome based, and have good fallbacks24 Jul 2025 18:46 +0000at://did:plc:ffuh5jnfl5d75nlpr3ce2xb2/app.bsky.feed.post/3luq6zax7hc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/darianrosebrook.com/post/3lrdtgepzok2jlol, I gotta remember to keep my best ideas close to my chest.

Data at that level will probably never be approved by corp.

The foundational layer to quantify a design system’s impact across the organization. Also, Figma’s analytics API sucks.

I’m never saying “it’ll be a simplified process” again.
