I use Claude as a thought partner for work, but it didn't have much context about the product. I asked Cursor to write an in-depth reference of how the product works, its main modules, and a common language. Added the resulting file to my Claude project and now it knows the product better than I do.
While prototyping and shipping with AI gets all the attention, my biggest design unlock is asking Cursor questions about how things work in a large codebase. Knowing every possible state and condition before design even starts saves a ton of time on addressing edge cases later.
Just found out you can include stroke in Auto Layout’s total dimensions to match CSS box model. I’ll turn in my @Figma expert card on the way out.
The bezels are very thin but the stand is ugly, so I put it on a VESA mount and now I’m wondering why it took me so long. LG is releasing a better-looking 6k model later this year, but at $1,399 this Asus costs just a few hundred more than a Pro Stand from Apple.
Asus ProArt Display 31.5" (PA32QCV)
Finally there are alternatives to the Pro Display XDR introduced 6 years ago. I've got the new 6k display from Asus (PA32QCV) a few weeks ago, and so far it's been great. ~40% more space compared to a 5k display, making Figma panels and side-by-side windows much more usable.
Thank you Alberto!

Nike makes gym floor tiles from the same material. Really wanted to use them, but unfortunately consistency between boxes was way off. www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMas...
