Losing a pet that you love is incredibly painful. They aren’t just animals they are family, they become so intertwined with your life. Their absence is crushing. I wrote a piece to process and honor Sammie’s life. If you are a dog owner you may enjoy it. www.imkylelambert.com/articles/my-...

Goodbye Samurai Warrior Princess 💔 You were the sweetest girl. You loved us so well. 16 years with you wasn’t enough. We didn’t deserve you. Cuddle and feast with Chainsaw in heaven. I can’t believe my babies are gone. I hate it. RIP

Your corporate organization doesn’t care about you. People at your organization may. But your organization doesn’t.

My Loom Chrome Extension is live! Long press your mouse key on a Loom video while it’s playing to increase the playback speed to 3x (customizable). Been begging for this capability so I built it myself. Thanks AI. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/speed...

I’m a big fan of Loom videos, I watch & record a ton of them. I’ve always wanted the same functionality that YouTube has: Long-press your mouse while the video is playing to temporarily increase playback speed. So I built a Chrome Extension you can run in dev mode. github.com/kslambert/Sp...

My advice for folks in tech who want to stay in tech: If you’re at a company who won’t let you work with and experiment with AI tools and workflows… get out. Even if it’s a pay cut, get out. How we work is changing. Find a place that will help you navigate this change.

I know keeping up with our industry can be challenging. I’m going to try and compile some summary posts. Here’s my first: kylelambert.substack.com/p/this-week-...

I’ve been working on a CLI at work. Figma is terrible for designing a CLI and trying to work on flows and styles within a dev environment isn’t great either… so I started vibe coding a CLI design tool. It feels magical to build niche tools and utilities!

I love this tooling concept: Annotating for agents benji.org/annotating

Finally getting around to reading Red Rising. My friends have been pushing it for years. I’m more of a fantasy reader and I thought this was going to feel sci fi heavy. It’s very good and I am realizing I owe my friends an apology for being stubborn.

I started vibe coding a mini design tool. A CLI workflow designer. It’s so helpful to build workflows and have a GUI to mess with CLI designs! I’m hooked.

Yes AI is all about speed but humans don’t think and process at the speed of computers, you still need to help them stop. carlbarenbrug.com/friction

I’m not ready to go back to work after 2 week winter break 🫠

I just want to make rad thins this year. More fun at work!

I am always into people recreating operating systems for their personal sites. This is a good one: mitchivin.com

Today is my 6 year anniversary at Webflow... How did this happen?

All I want is an external Touch ID not connected to an Apple keyboard so I can clamshell my laptop.

NEW RECORD! I logged into Quickbooks and got hit with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR modals at once!

This is such a great post: “What made those projects glamorous and desirable was her and how she approached the work… The projects weren’t good. They were made good.” capwatkins.com/blog/make-th...

A new post from yours truly. ✍️ AI prototyping pitfalls for product designers I have been thinking a lot about designers hesitant to embrace AI, along with AI creating new traps for enthusiastic designers. www.imkylelambert.com/articles/ai-...

I love playing blocks with my 3-year-old 🟩🟦🟨🟥

My favorite post in a while:

Something I have been chatting with for a little while now with a lot of my teammates. A great essay from Maggie Appleton: A Treatise on AI Chatbots Undermining the Enlightenment maggieappleton.com/ai-enlighten...

Solo camping trip. I can’t remember the last time I got time away just by myself. Camp fire (no fire ban), hike, and lots of reading!

I heard a term today that resonated: “Faux productivity” Even with all the technological leaps most software leaves us in this state.

We all have our own paths to walk, but if you’re a designer unwilling to invest in new skills and technology, here is my advice: Research graphic design’s transition to computers in the 80’s. Or prints transition to digital being prominent. These shifts leave folks behind.

Sometimes AI just shows up. My 3 year old son’s current obsessions include cherry picker trucks and ballerinas. So I prompted ChatGPT to generate a coloring sheet. He’s going to flip when he sees it.

I read a ton of fantasy. I decided to give writing it a go over my vacation. Who knows where this will go? A short story, a book, a forgotten file on my Drive… No matter what it’s been a fun practice. Here’s the start of something I’m working on.

My mother-in-law repaired a railing post at the lake house years ago. It kills me every time I see it.

Back to work. Turns out I like PTO better.

Product Design is cool and all but sometimes I dream about not spending my days behind a computer

Stay at a job because you like your coworkers, you enjoy the work, you are growing. Don’t stay at a job because “you feel loyal.” Executives and Boards won’t hesitate to eliminate your role if they see an upside to their bottom line.

I just want Figma to be fast again.

Back from my social media break. My team shipped something our developers are going to love. webflow.com/updates/site...

90s kid peak performance

Recruiter: We’re on a mission to revolutionize… Chat GPT can you interpret this for me? “Sure, Acme Corp builds enterprise software tools”

Took my kid to Monster Jam.

I want messaging apps to have a better experience when you miss a bunch of messages. scenario: your friends group chat blows up, you see 65 notifications 👀 half of these are Apple reactions. Then you are thrown into a giant thread vs any kinda of focused what did you missed experience.

You know you’re working at a growing company when someone new starts with a job title so confusing you can't even guess what they actually do.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Love this piece about our friend’s kid Lewis. Rachel and Luke are the best parents and Lewis is an absolute legend ❤️ we are still so pumped his tump is gone 🥹 www.theatlantic.com/sponsored/st...

My 3-year-old made this. I’m obsessed. Maybe it’s because it captures how I feel.

My wife took our son to a play date. I’m alone in my house which is very rare. My wife asked me what I was going to do. Taxes 🫠

Such a thoughtful piece. ‘What could be more colonizing than leap-frogging an individual’s power to create, making “creative tools” depend on databases of predigested thoughts and images?’ www.nataliailyin.net/blog/2025/2/...

With all the AI hype we are inundated with I believe it’s wise to read skeptics views. It helps us raise healthy questions, this piece raises a lot of questions that many are sweeping under the rug. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/
