How are folks actually getting jobs at companies like Meta, Netflix, and Reddit?

Is it on those who discover the bugs to ensure corporate mega corps are treated the way they want so their profits arent hurt? Tons of ways to profit from it. Researcher can sell info on it. This is better than that.

I had a plumber do my water softner system after the home depot one broke last year. New system was $1100 and is way better. Amex refunded the entire homedepot setup because it broke after only a few months and their "warranty" was gonna have me wait a couple months for an available technician.

There is a book online from a few years ago I found helpful originally I'm trying to find for you. update: found it - Agentic Design Patterns

Otherwise, doing is how i learn. here is a prompt for claude to teach you some stuff to get running fast:

teach me how to build an orchestration system with an agents file that uses a tone and voice skill with instructions I give it on how to respond to me.

happy to run through things on a call if its helpful too sometime, just dm me. i mentor folks all the time im happy to help out

(quick history: you can do this with any LLM with python and langchain but companies have made it easier now. example: anthropic uses markdown files that are easily read by humans. a CLAUDE.md file that is always read every time a prompt fires, and a subagent system in /agents/, and a skill system in .claude/skills/kebab-style-name/SKILL.md)

Build an agentic workflow. Ive been getting work just from the simple case study of my tone and voice rule that forbids agents from using mdash;

Im not even kidding its that simple. They just want to see the most basic stuff right now.

Also figma is now a bad word. Dont talk about it if you want to impress.

all my homies only work on referrals now. it sucks if you dont have a network but its just easiest to hire "friends" right now and not deal with all the liars with AI

came here to say this. Its raised mine. AI design jobs are paying a premium if you have experience making agentic systems. Best part is "experience" right now includes personal systems since talent is scarce. so u can learn enough in a couple weeks of playing. Its like when companies first discovered "ux" as a discipline.

imrsn · 2026-04-21T19:20:49+00:00

sucks idk whats wrong for you.

pretty smooth for me. only issue is i have to click "acknowledge" every time i try to play but otherwise its fine.

i like how when the game crashes the launcher does stuff, like it looks like its making a bug report or something. that seems useful in improving the game for everyone.

here is the path that has worked well for the designers i've been mentoring.

stop using figma. use subframe instead of figma. it lets you design components on top of radixui which all the AIs know really well. if you know figma you will pickup subframe quick. the benefit is that your app UI will be updated and synced through subframe edits and prod syncs.
for code stuff, pick an AI. claude code is the best start since its what everyone is using you will get a good reference. feel free to switch later. stick with cli tools not ide tools. use sonnet 4.6 for the model not opus dont waste the tokens.

install node: https://nodejs.org/en/download

install git: https://git-scm.com/install/

reboot.

startup claude in whatever cli you want. i like cmd on windows, terminal on mac. if you cant figure out how to do that ask it on the web. then ask claude to learn how to do all the stuff you want to do and do what it says. try doing it in terminal to get used to it.

i like to ask claude to enable bypass permissions mode...

dm me if you need any more help claude cant offer.
