Tutorial · 1 of 5Deconstructing great interfacesTake one great site apart with devtools: count the typefaces, measure the spacing, extract the palette, then rebuild a section. Tutorial · 2 of 5Typography for engineersOne typeface, a modular scale, line height, measure, and weight: the hour of CSS that makes a shipped app look finished. Tutorial · 3 of 5Spacing, color, and hierarchyAn 8px spacing scale, one accent with disciplined neutrals, and the four levers of visual hierarchy. Tutorial · 4 of 5Motion and microinteractionsThe 150 to 300ms band, easing that feels physical, transform-and-opacity discipline, and the restraint rule: animate one thing well. Tutorial · 5 of 5Presentation design for engineersOne idea per slide, a 40 point type floor, data slides that assert one finding, and code on slides done right. AnalysisThe taste moat is crackingThe taste-is-the-moat take is a truism six months on; the moat that holds is judgment produced at scale. AnalysisThe same purple gradientWhy AI-built interfaces converge on one look, and the constraint envelope that escapes it. AnalysisThe design engineer won 2026Anthropic, Linear, Cursor, Lovable, and Vercel now write nearly the same posting: taste, shipping, AI fluency. ReferenceDesign taste resourcesA vetted directory of 170+ places to train design taste: galleries, systems, tools, courses, and the people worth studying.

New · TutorialComfyUI take recorderOne node writes the seed, model, LoRA and prompt beside every render, so any take can be found, rerun, and triaged. New · AnalysisVideo went open-weightMiniMax H3 lands 5 Elo from the closed frontier, LTX-2.5 runs local, and the Sora 2 API gets a funeral date. New · TutorialViral short-form videoThe mechanics, not the luck: hooks, retention, loops, share triggers, and the AI pipeline behind them. New · TutorialViral postsX threads, LinkedIn, and carousels: the process breakdown is the genre creatives own. New · GuideGenerative AI models comparedVideo, image, audio, and writing models on the five axes that decide whether work ships. Verified August 2026. New · GuideGenerative AI platforms comparedWhat each platform costs, the commercial rights it grants, and the credit-system gotchas nobody prints. TutorialScoring with AI musicSteer song-trained models into underscore, cut to picture, get stems for the mix, and clear the rights. TutorialAI sound designWhy silent AI video reads as dead, and the layered workflow from room tone to mix. TutorialVideo inpaintingRepair a mostly-good shot instead of regenerating it: segment, track, dilate, inpaint, composite. TutorialPerformance transferDrive an AI character with a human take shot on a phone, and the failure modes to watch. TutorialVideo-to-videoShoot the motion, generate the look: the structure-style dial every restyle tool exposes. TutorialAI video upscalingWhat upscalers fix, what they invent, and where the pass belongs in the pipeline. TutorialThe AI short film pipelineScript to screen in seven stages, with the consistency strategy that holds it together. TutorialFirst frame, last frameKeyframe control: match cuts, loops, camera moves, and where interpolation breaks. TutorialAI lip syncAudio-driven versus performance-driven sync, and the checks before a shot hits the timeline. TutorialCinematic video promptingDirect the model like a cinematographer: shot size, lens, movement, lighting, palette. TutorialOvernight batch triageQueue 40 takes, sleep, read one report over coffee: hands-on with our open-source dailies tool. TutorialConsistent AI charactersThe workflow that keeps one face across shots, run end to end with every prompt shown. AnalysisThe race to millisecondsThree releases in four days shift the frontier metric from benchmark scores to the clock. AnalysisThe everything modelFLUX 3 fused image, video, audio, and action into one backbone; standalone video models are transitional. PrimerWhat AI filmmaking actually isThe five-pass workflow, the four things that still break in production, and what the tools do not replace. PrimerCharacter consistencyWhy models lose a character between shots, the seven techniques that hold one, and how to test it honestly.

Standard · v1.0The Taste Rubric10 criteria for scoring finished creative work, each with its failure mode and score anchors. The capstone is scored with it. Standard · v1.0The Multimodal Skill LadderFive levels of creative AI skill across the creative and builder tracks, defined by evidence rather than tools. MethodHow to evaluate creative AI modelsWhat an eval is, what vendor neutrality requires, and how to read a leaderboard without being sold something. ReferenceCreative AI glossaryPlain definitions of the twelve terms the work runs on, written for working creatives rather than researchers.
