New AI user control spotted: `planning` vs `fast` mode 👀🏃🏻‍♀️ Source: user settings in Google Antigravity I'm scouting new UX/UI patterns I find in the wild as more AI ships to production, just for science 🧪 #UX #UI #AI #appliedAI

User interface shows two modes: "Planning" for complex tasks and "Fast" for simple tasks. Red highlights and icons add emphasis.

Discovery is easy for music, but I find it hard for written ideas. LLMs have become great at suggesting (mostly real!) hi-quality, essays and books based on what I like. Including pre-web content. A fun use case and the positive pendant of web content quality decline concerns

ik present tense for git commit messages is right, still feels strange to me. Rationale I found: • matches with merge/revert commits • it's an order to the codebase to change behavior // if i could just give it orders i wouldn't need to commit code, should i think of my code as the order payload?

I'm loving the MCPJam inspector. Best way for me to debug and test MCP servers. Open source, optional login, runs locally with a sleek UI, makes it a breeze to run/test/see multiple servers/tools all at once, plus preview across clients/models. 🍒 on the cake: new OAuth Debugger feature

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy coding purely for fun. Bringing ideas to life in my browser. When baby is napping I'm building a web app to help me better stay in touch with friends & fam 🖤
