"In 2025, AI-assisted building closed this chasm. Translating how software should work was never the hard part for designers. Translating that understanding into code was. AI didn't lower the bar; it removed it."
"This is exactly where we are with software now. We are turning software into fast fashion. Because "AI". (...) This is often framed as liberation: Every human being can now have the software tool they want. Without having to learn to code or without having to ask someone else. You think it, you get it."
"It does not matter if AI companies will not be able to get their money back and the stock market will crash. All that is irrelevant, in the long run. It does not matter if this or the other CEO of some unicorn is telling you something that is off putting, or absurd. Programming changed forever, anyway."
Weekly curated resources present tools, insights, and opportunities for designers, thinkers, and makers. AI in 2025 eliminated the barrier between design intent and executable code, allowing designers to realize software without intermediary programmers. Designers are redefining roles toward agent orchestration and shipping AI-assisted products. Practical offerings include an AI Prototyping Camp focused on rapid iteration with Figma Make and Lovable. Curated editor picks highlight concerns about software becoming 'fast fashion', the visibility gap of invisible work, and the long-term permanence of programming change despite market or leadership noise. Subscription options deliver regular updates and selected stories to readers' inboxes.
