One of the most impressive things I’ve seen a designer make all year is Meng To’s Dreamcut.
It’s the perfect example of what it looks like to transition from traditional designer to builder 💪 So if you’re interested in becoming a designer who ships then this is the episode for you.
Meng gives a highly practical breakdown of what it looks like to go from 0 to 50,000+ lines of code as a designer. And Meng is the perfect person to onboard you into tools like Claude and Cursor because he’s spent 10+ years teaching designers how to code through Design+Code. So in this episode we go deep into:
- Meng’s tech stack and go-to AI tools
- How to fine-tune visual details in code
- The secret to an effective first 10 prompts
- How to find the perfect first project to build
- How much code you need to know to build with AI
- What parts were easier/harder than Meng expected
- Why Meng considers Claude the newest design tool
- a lot more…
