I collab'd with @ghoshal and the @dupe_solana team to design the all new $DUPE app. Today we flipped ChatGPT on the App Store 🥇 *fun fact, not one Figma component was used in the making 😅

@monali_dambre All good designers are busy working on something. For them to consider taking something else on or giving up what they are working on. It should be clear what the expectations are on the next thing. Pay range, type of project, type of work environment and time commitment

Finding great designers is harder than it should be right now. If you care deeply about craft and are exploring opportunities, share your portfolio below. A few really good, well funded startups are hiring designer rn.

@rubenhume Some have the two layer thing, some don’t. They don’t take up the same space. They don’t quite feel like part of the same family of icons.

Google Workspace logos are getting a full redesign and honestly, I have mixed feelings. The Pros: > Each app finally has its own identity. No more "guess which 4-color square is which. Now you can actually see what each one does. > Bigger shapes, no page frame, reads better at small sizes. The Cons: > Graphic quality feels low. Some look like a kid drew them in 5 minutes. Too simple. Not world-class. What's Interesting: > They killed the "4 Google colors in everything" rule. Not a con, just a brand decision. Each app gets to breathe on its own now. For a $2 trillion company, the graphic quality is underwhelming. Still, I think the tradeoff is worth it, as distinction wins. Which ones do you love and which ones do you hate?

The New Standard The way we build products has changed. It did not happen gradually. It became undeniable the week everyone came back from winter break and opened their laptops to find that the tools, the teammates, and the expectations had all quietly moved on. I call this "the new standard." Here is what I think has actually changed. Smaller Teams, Bigger Output We built the first version of Glaze, our second product, with three people in a couple of weeks. There are a few more on it now, but the pattern is what matters. Small groups are shipping things that used to need an entire org. Some of our designers are now among our top code committers. That sentence would have sounded absurd two years ago, and it is the clearest signal I have that something has shifted. The line between who builds and who describes what should be built has mostly dissolved. PMs are prototyping the features they used to spec. Engineers are making design decisions they would have punted to someone else. Everyone on a product team is a builder now, and the person closest to the problem is usually the one who solves it. A lot of that work never touches an IDE. It happens from a chat box, the browser, or a phone. Curation over Execution That is the upside. The downside is that when building gets cheap, everything gets built. More apps, more features, more dashboards, more surface area, more of everything. A lot of what I see shipped now is technically impressive and strategically pointless. The new constraint is not execution, it is curation. OpenAI is a useful example. They famously got distracted and did too many things at once. Now they are focused again, betting on one product and building it largely inside Codex. Just because something can be built does not mean it should be. The teams that win will be the ones that concentrate their effort, not the ones that spray it. The upside of this cheapness is real too. You can aim higher. Things that would have taken months are suddenly a few days. In the new version of Raycast, we shipped features we had discussed for years but never had the appetite to build. With AI, we could prototype them, see them come to life, and decide much faster whether they belonged in the product. Because deciding what should and shouldn’t belong is key here. The Debate Nobody has this figured out yet. Every team is rewriting its own playbook on the fly, and the playbooks rarely agree with each other. How small should a team actually be? What should it stop building? How do you keep quality high when shipping is cheap? We are starting an event series called The New Standard to sit down with teams I think get this right: Linear, Anthropic, Cursor, and Vercel. All companies known for restraint as much as for velocity. The first two are next week: 🌉 Monday, April 27, SF: The New Standard with @cursor_ai, @raycast, and @vercel (luma.com/egmieyv4) 🗽 Thursday, April 30, NYC: The New Standard with @linear, @raycast, and @AnthropicAI at @southpkcommons (luma.com/ldp71ob2) If there is a question you want me to put to them, send it in the replies. If your team has landed on a way of working that actually sticks, I want to hear about it. The standard for what a small group of people can build in a short amount of time has moved. Let's figure out together what it now demands of us.

Hiring designers right now is harder than it's ever been. AI made every portfolio look great bc anyone can generate the work. None of it tells you how someone actually thinks. The only real signal left is watching someone work through a problem, ideally one you know well.
Jon Rothenberg@JonRoth

@lucas__crespo @every love the thoughtfulness behind the application, but asking designers to work on your product for free isn't a great look. ask them to explore solutions to competitor products or similar spaces is better.

Same project, lots of different explorations. This Energy Central project has been one of my visual favourites, and putting together the case study reminded me exactly why a canvas is still so essential for designers. It lets us avoid perfection too early on. The moment we shift to AI, we lose the urge to iterate. We jump straight to finished ideas, too quickly. The beauty of designing on a canvas is being able to throw quiet, half-formed ideas around with no pressure to perfect them, and over time, that's where the truly unique ideas are born. Maybe that'll change. But for now, I know what works for me and I'm sticking with it.
