不安な気持ちは本当にわかる。その上で、フリーランスから正社員になったところで自分の仕事が置き換えられる可能性は変わらないし、組織の中で溢れちゃうこともあるので、どちらが正しいのか🤔


It's amusing how many designers treat the english design discourse bubble as an accurate representation of the entire designsphere. Having spent most of my career working outside that context, most of the conversation seems incredibly inward looking.

I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process. That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally. One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

Google Stitch just launched. Non-designers are trying it and saying, “Designers are fucked.” But I think there’s a blind spot here: A lot of these AI design tools are still generating pre-AI UI. That is not where the biggest product challenge is right now.

最近の色々みてて思うけど、みんななんでデザイナーになりたかったのか思い出した方がいいんじゃね?って思うだけの昭和世代

アフターFigmaの世界がやってくる。 ・コードこそが真実。デザインはコードに統合される ・強力なデザインシステムがあれば微調整はAIに任せ、人間は意図を伝えるだけ ・将来的には声で指示を出すだけでUIが構築可能 Life after Figma is coming (and it will be glorious) jonnyburch.com/life-after-fig…
