The moat has moved Software used to be expensive to build, and that cost forced a kind of discipline.

When everyone has access to the same models, and those models can produce working software quickly and cheaply, the code itself stops being a moat. A reasonably skilled person can now build what used to take a team of engineers months to ship.

● AI brands are moving away from stereotypical tech aesthetics towards more human-centered designs.

● Visual identities often incorporate gradients, abstract shapes, and calming color palettes to convey innovation and approachability.

Extracting colors from entire board may end up displaying too many results? Which requires space in the UI.

Bookmarker has 6 colors (max) in an image's palette with copy and download options.

Thinking from a user's perspective, one doesn't need too many colors, just a couple to use in a project.

Claude is a space to think | Anthropic We’ve made a choice: Claude will remain ad-free. We explain why advertising incentives are incompatible with a genuinely helpful AI assistant, and how we plan to expand access without compromising use...

There are many good places for advertising. A conversation with Claude is not one of them.

Building products as a designer I approach building products differently now.

Last year, I made 471 contributions on GitHub. That still feels unusual to write as a designer. For a long time, shipping at that pace was not part of my work. Ideas accumulated faster than they turned into working things.

When tools pretend to be people We are building LLMs to sound human. When we add personality and emotional tone, we increase the risk that people will trust them like people. Design them as tools. Not as companions.

The constraint is no longer speed or capability. It is whether someone understands the problem deeply enough to make decisions that hold up once the system is in use.

This makes design judgment more visible, not less. When everything can be built quickly, unclear thinking shows up immediately as fragile products, confusing behavior, or systems that work in isolation but fail in reality.

As coding agents make execution faster, the center of gravity in software shifts. Writing code is no longer the hard part. Deciding what should exist, how a system should behave over time, and which trade-offs are acceptable becomes the work.
