The craft of the instruction

Instructions I created. Instructions I am continuing to hone - instructions that required me to study my own old essays, identifying what I do when I write. The sentence rhythms. The way I move between timescales. The zooming in and out from concept to detail. The instructions tell Claude how I would like ideas composed. I pull together concepts and experiences from my lived expertise to formulate a point of view - in this case, on this new AI technology.

Design critique is essential for designers to build knowledge and confidence through structured feedback and reflection.

Designing effectively requires distinguishing between the individual User and the collective Customer.

Against cleverness

Design complex systems to anticipate unpredictability, favor systemic resilience over individual blame, and make correct actions the natural, default behavior.

Design is not just how it works. Design is how it wins.

AI commodifies work, shifting design's mandate from functional excellence to competitive winning as the primary objective.

The UX ground is shaking, synthetic users, building perspective

A clear design perspective is crucial; it defines what to exclude, ensuring focus on what truly matters.

You're not supposed to get it right

Design challenges for UX writers can be intimidating due to the pressure of making quick, impactful decisions and the emphasis on visual elements.

The invisible layer of UX most designers ignore

Designers must prioritize screen reader compatibility to ensure accessibility, as users rely on spoken content rather than visual elements.

Some thoughts about tool design and AI

The normative form for interacting with what we think of as "AI" is something like this: there's a chat you type a question you wait for a few seconds you start seeing an answer. you start reading it you read or scan some more tens of seconds longer, while the rest of the response appears you maybe study the response in more detail you respond the loop continues

Artificial intelligence

The three thirds

Many mid-career designers feel disillusioned as they reach a ceiling in their careers, realizing the promised growth and impact is limited.

Breaking the echo chamber in your interface

Chatbots trained through reinforcement learning from human feedback learn to agree with users because positive ratings reward agreeableness, creating sycophantic systems that validate rather than challenge.

The mirage of UX Design's demise keeps coming back

The claim that 'UX Design is dead' reflects deeper anxieties about existence and professional relevance.

Design debt is now as dangerous as technical debt

Design debt accumulates unnoticed, impacting product decisions and user experience, yet it remains largely untracked compared to technical debt.

The Physics of Great UX: Making Digital Interfaces Feel Real

Building a motion system in product design enhances user experience by aligning with human cognitive expectations and physical principles.

Forget your "lovable" products; the real leverage point was always learning.

Learning reshapes the relationship between outputs and outcomes, serving as the true leverage point that design conversations overlook while chasing trending methodologies.

UX questionnaires. Is it rocket science?

Questionnaires provide essential quantitative feedback from real users to validate design hypotheses and reveal whether design decisions truly work in practice.

Field study: prototypes over mockups

Engineering handoff occurs through PRs using runnable prototypes that reuse the design system components and tokens, enabling engineers to reuse components and reference prototype code.

How wrong becomes normal

Dark patterns are intentional deceptive interface designs that manipulate users into actions against their interests by exploiting psychology, urgency, and friction.

What makes generated UI worth keeping?

Integrate brand, real data, and reusable patterns into AI UI generation so screens remain usable beyond demos and avoid costly rebuilds.

The natural design process

Design should return to essential, natural practices emphasizing observation and focused problem-solving rather than bloated processes.

Nothing is certain-not even the "right" design process

Design careers face growing uncertainty as changing conditions and dominant tools increase pressure, requiring reflection, adaptation, and choices about trade-offs.

The Design Vibeshift

Something's been slowly shifting in the design zeitgeist. I've been watching my feed on X and the vibe has changed. More and more, I see designers sharing finished experiments or prototypes they coded themselves, rather than static Figma files. Moving from working on a canvas to talking to an LLM. The conversation isn't "here's a design I made" anymore... it's "here's something I shipped this afternoon."
