Everyone has different spawn points and you just have to play your cards as best as you can.

Rich kids get capital. Middle class kids get “figure it out.” Poor kids get trauma and told it builds character. The starting line is not equal.

idk about you, but i like speed
and i’m glad model providers are starting to focus on speed
it’s too boring waiting around for agents that take 30 minutes for every task

i had early access to composer 2 this thing is FAST it’s crazy watching all the cursor tool calls fly by on the screen which would be great on its own, but it also happens to be smart enough that it feels like using opus considering the price + speed + intelligence here i feel like this could pull a lot of people back to cursor again

Agree and just because your first design is not good, doesn't mean you won't get better.
This was my first fully prompted design + dev product solo. Built a fully functionally Ai simulation application, APIs, database, payments, auth in 2 weeks with no engineering background and a long career of just pixel pushing.
No, i didn't take as much time as i should on the design, but i wanted to get the product out asap.
Now imagine the kids who are starting native AI design + dev and see it as one thing. That is a new skilled class of builders that will run circles around the old mono-skilled workforce.

@_kenfernando @BrettFromDJ just because you can make a design faster doesn't make it a good design
English
Designers are coping as hard as engineers when AI hit them.
No one wants to accept it, but the days of the IC role of design vs engineering is done.
The future is convergence and those who thrive are not the ICs but the IBs - the independent builders who make the whole product and AI makes it possible
It’s just that people are not willing to do it all because Wah too much work or their identity is wrapped up being an engineer or designer. Cope

@theatashka 🫡 The future belongs to those who can design & dev and the tooling is getting better to make it all possible

@_kenfernando This. I do strategy, design, and dev - full cycle. Clients never cared about my job title. They cared that the thing shipped and worked.

I started UI/UX when photoshop was the only tool to do interface designs. Sketch was there in the market for about a year but I did not have a mac at that time.
Then 2014, I bought a mac and started using Sketch.
After that Adobe XD came out and I switched from Sketch to XD.
I started using Figma in 2018.
So it was never the tool. However, every product works like a human body. It gets born, reaches its prime, then grows old and dies.
And Figma, your end won’t come from competitors.
It’ll come from mismanagement.
Plugin is hanging for over a month, No reply from the support team, ghosting your long-time user. At the very least, you could say, rejected. Silence is worse.
The end is near Figma. I can see it.
English
@_kenfernando It is so fascinating when the entire industry is changing and everyone has his own opinion. It happened before and it will again and again.
English
I hope so! More designers need to see that they can try to make things and what I said about ICs becoming IBs!
The design might not be the best, but as a former PD with no formal engineering background. I built a fully functionally Ai simulation application, APIs, database, stripe payment & security in 2 weeks.
I no longer want to be a pixel pusher
English
This is a great update. People were already tabbing between multiple LLMS for different tasks such as research & marketing
now having it in the place where you actually build the product is smart.
If an AI co-founder can help people who where hesitant to build before, a lot of economic value can come from it.

POV: You didn't give up.
For most of AgentMail's life, growth was flat. No one understood it but we kept pushing.. until one person did. The next 10 followed. Then, the rest.
Keep going, make that bet on your vision for the future.
Make something agents (should) want.

Sometimes startups feel like: Make people want something that they should want.

@_kenfernando I should use you as evidence in the article:
"Not because the people writing them have deep experience in design, or any at all for that matter."
English
Whoa this is cool. I respect @BrettFromDJ a lot and like his work so i'm not taking it personally and i never claimed to be the best designer.
But I’ve been a PD here in nyc for years and worked in everything from photoshop, sketch, to Figma and this is the future of the industry. Roles will converge with little separation from engineering and design.
And as far as tooling AI and natural language is just better and more efficient. When i go back managing layers, chunky tool bars, producing redundant handoff assets when you can now design in production feels slow and archaic in the age of Ai.
English
@ethxnchen @michalmalewicz Yea pretty much perfecting the UI & UX is done right in claude on same codebase. Claude manages all the files and components like any Github project.
As for user research and problem definition, thats whatever tool you want to use.
English
@_kenfernando @michalmalewicz Do you perfect UI and adjust UX in Claude as well? Or do you send it to Figma to then adjust the pixels?
English
I went into Google Stitch and looked around.
This is NOT replacing designers. It's like saying downloading a figma UI kit will replace designers.
You can already prompt AI to do stuff in regular design tools.
But if you don't have taste, you end up with the inflated median, not quality product. It's an average of an average of an average. Safe, but boring and predictable.
And to make anything good here it's waiting for your input. If you don't have the eye for design, your input won't help.
AI won't be able to make anything beyond a template.
We had those since 2005 on TemplateMonster.
This is the same recycling of average ideas, now with a prompt box as input.
But this is meaningful for another reason. It's making non-skilled people believe they have skills, which will mean that the median will get even more inflated.
We won't get as many utterly horrible sites, but also not many actually great ones.
So bottom line: designers are not cooked.
If you have no idea what you're doing no AI will make your work great.
It will just help you reach mediocrity faster.

BREAKING: CBS launches investigation into alleged fraud at Los Angeles office plaza that hosts 89 hospice companies.

That's a good way to build the foundation but you can also refine and perfect the UX and design by prompting.
Instead of point and click to adjust corner radius, you can just prompt AI and say make all button corner radius 1.5 REM
Now you no longer have to click around chunky toolbars, manage layers, artboards, component libraries, static assets or separate prototype files.
it's awesome.
English
@_kenfernando @NapierHolland My experience is that it takes me 4 prompts and screenshots and references to get it to do what I want vs just me designing the thing to begin with
English
I work with elite designers.
They hand clients the same Figma deliverable today as three years ago.
Yes, Stitch is cool to generate ideas.
No, it won’t replace Figma.
AI accelerates ideation, analysis and iteration but the fundamentals haven’t changed.

I’ve been a PD for 9 years here in nyc and worked in everything from photoshop, sketch, to Figma and this is the future of the industry. Roles will converge with little separation from engineering and design.
I work directly in Claude with engineers. I even think having separate Ai design software is redundant.
I’m simplifying but workflow looks something like
> Prompt multiple user flows, decide with team/client what works best.
> Perfect UI and adjust UX if needed on selected flow.
> No need to manage separate files, component or design libraries, production velocity increases 10x
English
@_kenfernando If you feel that way you’re designing UI and not UX. Building and prototyping with AI is great, but it’s not always appropriate. Some products have many different user journeys that need to be carefully considered and things need to be presented to stakeholders.
English
Can people stop building these slop machine apps? Designers don’t want to use them and they address only a fraction of the product design process. These don’t save anyone anytime and just introduce more garbage into the ecosystem.

@_kenfernando @michalmalewicz Fellow designer here! If I may ask—which AI software programs do you only use now?
English
Ken retweetledi
it won’t replace designers, but just like AI coding did to engineering, it will reduce the need for large design teams.
And natural language design apps will replace point and click software like Figma.
As a former Figma user now purely designing with Ai going, back to managing layers, tool bars, producing redundant handoff assets when you can now design in production feels bloated in the age of Ai.
