The article discusses how AI tools have transformed the design process, allowing creators to build applications without writing code. This shift highlights a significant change in creativity, where traditional barriers are diminished. The writer reflects on the experience of quickly prototyping an application through AI conversation, comparing it to past innovations like APIs and PhoneGap. This new era of "vibe coding" reduces cognitive friction, making experimentation accessible and enabling a faster execution of ideas.
The tools we’ve idolized in design are often barriers, not bridges, leading to the realization that pure translation from vision to creation, without mediation, is now achievable.
The cognitive friction has replaced technical friction as the real bottleneck in the design process, allowing for experimentation and creativity to flourish.
