The UI is melting. No more buttons. No more dropdowns. The future of design?.It’s about shaping intelligence—not pixels.

Just added this 1776 Continental Currency note to my collection—issued by the Continental Congress to help fund the American Revolution. Designed by Benjamin Franklin, it features the motto “Mind Your Business”—not just a call to work hard, but a warning to stay focused, avoid

Users resist unfamiliar interfaces not because they dislike change, but because their brains are wired to prefer the familiar—so great design respects existing patterns while carefully guiding users toward new ones.

Designing for cognitive ease isn’t optional. It’s the new baseline. If users are mentally taxed every time they log in, they won’t stick around.

People don’t read manuals. They guess and rely on instincts formed by every product they’ve used before. Design that works with, not against, this behavior is what defines product excellence.

Bad design blames the user. Good design disappears.

The next wave of AI-led transformation lies not in infrastructure—but at the application layer, where UX turns model output into business value. In 2025, organizations are investing $644 billion in generative AI—a 76% jump from 2024—while the total AI market approaches $758.

AI’s trillion-dollar question isn’t about compute—it’s about design. I wrote an article exploring why the application layer will determine who wins and who fails and how the AI boom mirrors past tech manias.

Technological revolutions tend to be over-financed in the short run and underappreciated in the long run.
