Pixel Perfect Picks #93 - AI, Brain Food, More AI

Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.

Heard Something

Lenny's Podcast has been one of my best and most interesting resources in the field of product management and design over the past few months. I just listened to the first episode of the new podcast show titled 'How I AI' and I am absolutely fascinated by the concept. It's very easy to listen to, but I definitely recommend the YouTube episode as there is also a lot to see!

Read Something

Every Sunday, I look forward to my absolute favorite newsletter, and I've noticed that I mention it far too rarely here. "Brain Food" by Shane Parrish (known from Farnam Street) is like noise-canceling headphones for the internet, and I learn something from it every week.

Saw Something

Since I am now working intensively on my AI tooling setup, I have also added two tools that I have heard and read a lot about in recent weeks: Lovable and Bolt. Both function relatively similarly, and I find it incredibly interesting to see what impact they will have on my prototyping flow as a designer. Stay tuned!

About Marvin Messenzehl

I love working in the realm between design and code. Some things that make me excited are CSS, Interaction design, Javascript, and making interfaces feel fun and human.

Currently, I'm designing & building interfaces for the podcast app of RTL +.  Besides that, I'm teaching UX and UI design at Memorisely.
