@ryolu_ i can’t imagine being a sculptor who won’t touch the stone

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

Sometimes people talk about prototyping in narrow terms of “derisking” or “answering questions” but I like to think of it more broadly as “efficiently raising the chances of success” Generating enthusiasm by showing a glimpse of the future can be a huge part of this!

@karrisaarinen @sdothaney @linear The best tools tighten that feedback loop and keep you close to the medium itself. I would argue the output matters most when the medium is alive, responsive, dynamic, and interwoven with capabilities far outside its visual form—as is the case with AI-native software. Feeding

“Use whatever tools you want, but be deliberate about what mode you are in. Protect exploration from premature constraint. Invite constraints when you are ready to learn from them. Use code as feedback, not as a cage.”

Design work will shift from pixel pushing to curation

design is what ships. users don’t care how it got to production. they care that it did. for years, many designers were told the best experiences were “out of scope.” they were gatekept from the ability to actually bring them to life. from the ability to deliver the best
