I wrote about my vibe coding journey over the last 2 months on my redesigned site kenneth.dsouza.im/writing/vibe...

Made a visualization of the books I read in 2025 kenneth.dsouza.im/books-2025/

My battle with the Scope Creep lasted for 6 sprints and was ultimately shattered by my ambition. Can anyone save this cursed project? scope-creep.xyz/share/candles #theScopeCreep

Posts fam, are any of you still using the .cv domain?

The Crab vizualizer at the Ministry of Crab, Colombo, informs patrons and server staff which sizes of their Mud Crab are available for ordering.

Finally got a Mubi sub on Black Friday and its such a pretty interface ✨

First stollen of the season. This one is from Breadtime stories. The first one I got was too dry but glad they replaced it with a new soft one.

A friend just pointed out that the main character of Andy Weir’s Hail Mary is Dr Ryland Grace. As in the book is ‘Full of Grace’.

www.dandad.org/work/d-ad-aw... A beautiful open source font with a unique story. You’ll probably notice it being used in the streets on your next Katmandu visit.

The work Catalina Estrada does is elaborate and beautiful but these words are what I chose to post about.

Lucknow got selected as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, which I believe is well deserved. It is a city that made me realize how amazing mutton dishes can be. Photos from the last visit a few weeks ago.

Strongly believe that the measure of success for a design manager is the team they can build. You may have published books and written blogs but if you don’t practice what you preach, then you are but a fraud.

I wonder if the shows Murderbot watches were AI generated. @marthawells.com

This is probably the shortest time it’s ever taken me to go from discovering a band to seeing them live.

Trying to shift to Apple Music but that app is too damn slow!

New morning read arrived yesterday 🤩

The tiniest juicebox 🧃

Good advice from Ben Blumenrose and the folks at DesignerFund 👀

Today was my last day at Jiva. Kinda bittersweet end to a journey of 3.8 years as we wrap up our operations this month.

Really happy with this simple landing page I made for Spenzy App! tryspenzy.com #buildinpublic #designsky

That was a good lunch!

Literally too hot to handle. Presentation 💯 Experience 🫠

Two hours of watching two brothers attempting a Big Year. So worth it! youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo

When you see Leadership as a suggested skill in the job description for senior manager, product design.

Learnt a new Hindi word today.

I remixed @eikedrescher.bsky.social ’s Game and made ‘Not a Hotdog’ — Where you need to find a random Taco 🌮 among a sea of floating 🌭 spielwerk.app/games/889C10...

I miss Posts 💔

An interesting small detail where the ‘Superman Official Playlist’ on Spotify changes it’s album cover based on your music taste.

As a Designer, The Studio resonates with me a LOT! 😭

Under nine hours, and we’re 70% funded! Let’s go internet pals 🚀 You’re making your neighbourhood type designer’s dreams come true 💙

I used to hate Tom Yum as a flavour but the recent trip to Bangkok made me realize that I was just getting bad Tom Yum all this while.

Got addicted to Polytopia over the weekend 🤪

So strange that Prime Video can’t play movies series in the right order.

Our next game, Dosa Divas. Battle an evil fast food empire in this spicy narrative turn-based RPG. Two sisters and their upgradable spirit-mech cook delicious meals, fight corpos, build up your reputation with local communities, and reconcile with loved ones. youtu.be/jzOKSPSVYwY?...

🔴🟡🔵 BIG WALK 🔴🟡🔵 Join us for a tour around our new game. Coming 2026.

The average tenure of an employee on a software product team is under 2 years. This means that you can spend 18 months building something, claim success, and jump ship to somewhere else before the chickens come home to roost. And the next person will have to deal with the fallout of your decisions.

As AI-powered design tooling improves, we will see the shift from design is visual that’s been a thing for the last few years now back to “design is more than what you see”.

I've been using a mobile phone for 10+ years but I never feel like doing any complicated text based tasks on it. Just feels tedious.

When I joined my first design team as an intern, I asked them why they chose me. “We felt you needed it”. Maybe that was a non-answer, but it spoke to me. Truth be told, I really didn’t have another job in hand which was half as good as this. I think about it even now after all these years.

Video KYC needs you to blink but… surprise, surprise, there are people who cannot blink. Tech assumptions around biometrics come back to bite again. scroll.in/video/108195...

When looking at design job applications; I see if the person can use a tool, has noted down thoughts about the impact of their work, has passion interests outside of work, and then if they pass that check..talking to them next gives a sense of their vibe.

It was my first time attending the India international coffee festival and I must say it was pretty well organised. I got to meet some folks in the industry and watch the national barista cup finals. Fun Saturday!

Friends are hosting a dataviz conf at the end of June in Bangalore hasgeek.com/VizChitra/20... Tickets out now.

Spent 2 hours writing, 4 hours editing, and 2 days spiraling about whether anyone would care. finally hit publish anyway. ashley.dev/posts/fear-o...

And the campaign used an illegal clone version of the original font 🤌🏽

We’ve all stood before the wine shelves wondering which one to choose so i found it pretty cool that @puddingviz.bsky.social did the analysis and found a rule to aid decision making. pudding.cool/2025/04/wine...

I think this is more a Twitter/X thing, then a general fandom thing, but seeing a lot of people accusing the Wheel of Time showrunner/the show in general of racism because of certain in-story deaths has been absolutely bizarre to witness. I’m left wondering - how do Americans consume media? (1/n)

Saturday morning well spent 😁
