We’re building it with our eyes wide open

PS. What would you do differently in this next wave?

And for those of us building inside that storm…
we had to keep moving, learning, choosing better

Not because we got it wrong
But because we want to get it right

GenAI 2.0 isn’t a reset
It’s a return to what matters:
People. Purpose. Progress.

And this time…

I still remember the buzz when GenAI first landed

It felt like watching history unfold in real time
Everyone had stars in their eyes

But between all the funding rounds and viral demos…
Something started to feel off

It became harder to tell the difference
between innovation and noise...

"Make it look like ChatGPT"

Heard this 4 times this week from founders

Stop

Your product isn't ChatGPT
Your users aren't ChatGPT's users
Your problems aren't ChatGPT's problems

Build what works for YOUR users
Not what’s trendy or looks cool on social media

The best career advice: Never let success cost you your happiness.

AI got smarter about design

So I did a quick test yesterday

Out of 100 screens generated:
- Detailed output
- 95% dev-ready
- 100% editable

The real question:
Not if AI will replace designers
But how designers will use AI

You're not losing your job
You're getting superpowers

Agree or disagree?

"AI will kill UX design"
(They said this in 2023)

Reality check:

2023:
- Basic wireframes
- Zero consistency
- Messy outputs

2024:
- Complex wireframes
- Coherent UI design
- Complete flows

2025:
- Design systems support
- Pixel-perfect exports
- Detailed UI

What changed?

"Users don't read" and 5 other UX realities that never stop being true

No matter how many projects I complete, these fundamentals remain the hardest parts of design

Which of these principles do you find yourself continuously relearning?

- Simple products win
- Smart products die

Our new rules:

1. If it needs training, it's wrong
2. If it needs explaining, it's broken
3. If it needs selling, it's dead

Smart founders build dumb products
Because dumb products work

P.S. What's the dumbest thing YOU'VE done as a founder? ↓↓↓

- Focused on what mattered to users
- Built 1 core feature
- Simplified the tool

Revenue?
Went from $45 to $1081 (that was 15 months ago)
Since then we've been growing steadily

Our simple product now supports a team of 7 full-time people
(and we're actively hiring)

The truth nobody tells you:

The dumbest thing I did as a founder:

Trying to build the perfect product.

At the start, we built a comprehensive discovery & research tool

We spent:
- 4 months building it
- 3 team members on it

But we missed the mark!
We built what we thought was cool, not what users needed

Then we shifted:

Are you ready to adapt?
Creativity, empathy, and that human touch are still needed

But AI speeds things up. A lot.

The future of design is about working smarter, not harder

PS. Are you already using AI in your design process?
Let me know 👇

I won’t sugarcoat it…

UX design is changing, fast ↓↓↓

But AI isn’t here to replace you
It’s here to help you

Some designers are fighting it.
Others?
They’re using it to create like never before

Imagine this:
Wireframes in minutes, not hours

That’s the power of AI

But here's the real question:

Life is too short for a career that doesn't make you feel alive.
