Today, we're thrilled to announce the @a16z Design Engineer Fellowship! A new 8-week cohort of AI-native design leaders who have absorbed engineering into their craft and are thinking in systems, not screens. With world-class design leaders like @benjitaylor, @JohnPhamous, @davidhoang, @iansilber, @joshto, and many more. Join us! Apps went live today. Link in comments.

Working on Porty, a tiny macOS menu bar app that shows which processes are using which ports. I've reached the point where I have a lot of open ports, so I built this to clean it up and kill the ones I don’t need. I know similar apps exist, but it's fun building your own🤷‍♂️

With the new scrambleText() feature, you can control reveal direction, create cursor effects, apply perturbation and easing, and chain it in keyframes and timelines like any other Anime.js animation property. It's crazy how just a few lines of code can create such visually complex effects.
Julian Garnier@JulianGarnier

Anime.js 4.4 is out with CSS transforms and Stagger improvements, plus a new scrambleText() helper to easily create complex text scramble effects!

Here is my take on the new Google Docs icon. - Correct page curl (seems everyone struggles with this) - Correct shading - Designed with the background in mind (these icons are never used outside of the background shape) - Tint on the white background (avoid using just pure white for the BG) - Alternative version (as it never leaves the BG shape), and paper is usually white

1. This definition of product design is so sadly thin given where Gokul worked. Product designers do help with UI design systems but that's a fraction of what they do which also includes what product to build, how it should work, how to ensure people understand how to use it, how to create a brand people love and rally around, how the system should work together, etc etc etc but yes they'll need to do visual design of UI design systems less so I'll concede on that. 2. Design is not the "first casualty" and we have the data on design hiring - will release it here in a few weeks - stateofaidesign.com but at least the top tech companies continue to hire top designers AND pay top dollar for those folks. 3. If you're a designer you don't have these “two choices” - you can also become a founder of a startup (not just a design agency) - in fact this is an incredible time to be a designer founder. You can become incredible at storytelling and help with brand/marketing. You can freelance as a product designer (not just a systems UI specialist)... and many more... AND any product designer worth their weight already does/did PM/Eng type work... so sure if you're one of the few software designers that somehow didn't touch code or help with product strategy yeah pick that up it's 2026... you don't need a PM/Eng to tell you that. /end rant

DESIGN: THE FIRST AI CASUALTY I'm increasingly sure that 2026 signals the end of product design as a full-fledged stand-alone function within companies. If so, it will be the first role / function to be eliminated by AI on a go-forward basis. Instead of hiring FT designers, startups are hiring / will hire design consultants to create a design system that the founder likes (this takes a few weeks max). Once the design system is finalized, PM/Eng feed it into their AI tool of choice to generate prototypes. The design system is refreshed annually by the same consultant. Larger companies will likely not backfill design roles and will do some targeted attrition to reduce the design department to 20% the size it is today. If you're a designer, I think you have two choices: 1. Become an entrepreneur: Start a design agency and become the go-to resource for design systems for startups and even larger companies. This can be a good recurring revenue business. 2. Become a builder: Add PM/Eng responsibilities to become a product builder. Would suggest you embrace this proactively vs waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm really sorry about this - some of my best friends and the people I admire most and have learnt the most from are designers - but it seems inevitable.

@gokulr subjectively speaking - a lot of designers already go way beyond pixels into problem-solving and PM-level responsibilities. in an AI world, knowing what to solve (and how) becomes even more relevant than ever

the iphone era app was a noun which loosely was a bounded surface you opened, performed an intent in, & closed. notes, reminders, clock, calendar, etc… these are all just typed buffers with light affordances around a primitive (text, time, date). the app was the price of admission cuz the os couldn’t infer intent, hold context, or act on your behalf. the icon grid was a workaround for a dumb constraint. once you have an ambient layer that knows you incl emails, calendar, location, health, finances, conversations.. the noun collapses into a verb. e.g. you don’t “open notes,” you mutter a thought & it gets routed, tagged, surfaced when relevant. you don’t “set a reminder,” the system notices the commitment in your text thread & pre stages it. time becomes contextual too (“you should leave in 12”). calendar becomes a derived view, & not an input first static surface. all of these experiences will have to be reinvented from first principles with an intelligence layer at the core not as something bolted on.
