Gemini 3 Pro understands visual design better than most humans. I showed it one screenshot reference. It redesigned my entire app to match. Colors, typography, spacing, layout - everything. Visual AI is getting scary good.

The design-to-code gap is closing fast: 2020: Months between design and implementation 2024: Weeks with good handoffs 2026: Seconds with AI tools Real-time design in code is the future.

Figma designers panicking about AI tools are missing the point. You're not being replaced. You're being upgraded. Soon you'll design on real products instead of static files. Your impact will be immediate, not delayed.

The mobile app gold rush has only just begun. Tools like @vibecodeapp just solved the hardest problems: Payments (Revenue Cat integration) Backend (Cloud database) Authentication (Built-in) Publishing (Direct to app store) Ideas are the only bottleneck now.

Some things that stop people get started with Claude code: - sub-agents - GitHub - skills - hooks - slash commands If you’re put off by these honestly just forget about them at first. They’re barriers that suck the energy from your idea Just turn on plan mode with Opus 4.5 and

2026 recommendation: Every designer should learn to work directly in code. Every developer should learn design principles. The tools are merging the disciplines. Start learning both sides now or get left behind.

The future of design teams: Designers will work directly in codebases, not separate design files. Changes will be pushed directly to github, not recreated by developers. The design-to-development handoff is dying.

I’m getting so few bugs working with Opus 4.5 in Claude Code It feels different to any other model in any other AI coding tool If you know what you want and can articulate it well with the right context then Opus just gets it and executes It’s honestly kind of wild

Gemini 3 Pro + AI design tools = magic I uploaded a screenshot reference and completely redesigned an entire app in minutes. The AI understood the visual style and applied it across every component. Design is moving from pushing pixels to conversation + taste.

This is the real difference between average and great software
I think the role of the Software Engineer is evolving into a Product Engineer. LLM tools have made writing code easier than ever. The real bottleneck isn't implementation anymore - it's deciding what to build and how the UX should work. That's why I've been spending more of my
