"This is simply a mismatch between how UI is generated in AI tools and how products are actually built. So instead of avoiding constraints such as branding and data, they need to be integrated into the generation process. This way, the UI becomes more valuable and can be used to continue to iterate past a demo or proof of concept (POC) phase."
"Why? Because carrying everything with you all the time is a great way to stop getting anywhere. If you're going to work on a problem for hundreds of iterations, things start to pile up. As tokens accumulate, the signal can get lost in noise. By flushing context between iterations and storing state in files, each run can start clean."
"Recently, many non-developers, myself included, have found that using Claude Code with files locally can be an incredibly effective way to get work done. My social feed is filled with people sharing their use cases: setting the agent to work on an Obsidian vault, managing email and calendars, finally getting value from smart home devices."
"Two things, though. One, complaining about it probably isn't going to change much. Two, even the best manager in the world can only do so much for you. And sometimes, they just have a big, boring project that you need to do that won't do much for your career, but it needs to be done anyway."
AI-generated UI often mismatches real product constraints because generation workflows ignore branding and data. Integrating branding, data, and product constraints into generation produces UIs that can be iterated past demos and used in production. Iterative work benefits from flushing conversational context between runs and storing state in files to avoid token accumulation and signal loss. Local coding agents that operate on files can enable non-developers to automate tasks, manage knowledge, and extract value from smart devices. Designers should proactively create opportunities, accept managerial limits, and complete necessary but unglamorous work.
