Filed under "yet more things I would *never* have time to do myself but can delegate to agents in under 30 seconds" Everyone gets a better experience. The world is slightly less shitty.

I’ve been slogging through all my old posts adding dark mode. The hodge podge of canvas, SVG, DOM, and hard coded colours has not made it easy 😅 I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing at first.

re: your diagrams. Are you having any luck coaxing AI to build UI, diagrams, etc in a style you like? You have an impressive eye for design, flow, art fundamentals (jealous!).. but how are you coaxing the AI into what you want. TLDR: How is your AI driven design going?

Sadly no progress getting agents to help at all with diagrams. They just don't have the fundamental understanding of direction, space, graphic shapes, etc. to be useful. Had to do all mine by hands. For UI stuff I have a tight set of rules / an existing design system for them to work off

But honestly even within an existing design system I still find using agents for visual design extremely painful. Trying to be like "make the spacing nicer" or "add a subtle shadow" always ends up with awful results. End up old school hand-coding values because it's 10x faster
