Specs 2
Specs 2 is an ecosystem for specs driven component development. Via the plugin, turn a selected Figma component or component set into a compact, complete, schema-valid specification — computed directly from the file, not inferred from a screenshot. From the command line, generate specs from an en...
AI Doomsday Bullshit Is Getting Tired
The "rogue AI" narrative continues to help obscure very ugly and avoidable human failures.

It has increased substantially." Aye, if only any of us had been saying this from day one 🤡 faros.ai/blog/ai-acceleration-whiplash…
