What's ironic is that, now that you can build anything quickly

Instead of seeing an explosion of software, you'll see an implosion

What's going to happen is consolidation on a grand scale

Where previously it took 10 apps to perform a set of tasks, will happen in 1

Now that engineering is 10x easier

Design is 10x more important to make that engineering effort go in the right direction

Why hasn't Crypto payments absolutely annihilated Stripe already?

The smartest person I know has been working on something insane

I don't even understand how it's not part of everyone's stack

Congrats to @Arslnb on the launch

Design doesn’t need to be delightful for it to work, but that’s like saying food doesn’t need to be tasty to keep us alive.

"Who ever said that pleasure wasn’t functional?"

Happy New Year 🎉

I've become convinced that every APP I build should be complete

Even if it's not the final vision

The goal, with every project/business should be to launch a thing that is "forever sustainable"

Let me explain

You cannot design your way out of bad product

But good product and good design = Apple level retention

Urgently have fun

Urgently finish important work

Delay laziness

The biggest mistake Google made was separating these

Docs, Sheets, etc are meaningless

What matters is the project/context

They should've just called it "Google Docs"

Then you can create projects, and in projects you can create a Doc, Sheet, Slide, Vid or Form

I know AI is hyped and you all hate the word

But don't throw out the baby with the bath water

Computers have never talked back so fluently since their invention

It is breathtaking

Why is modern UI like this?

Where is the density?

It's just sooo floaty

lacking structure, lacking hierarchy

Founders are un-hirable

Jobs are designed for people who are good at politics

Businesses on the other hand only answers to market forces

This jarring difference is why founders don't want to return to corporate life

The only differentiator is taste

The cost of software is 10x lower today than a few years ago

This means there will be 10x more of everything

What wins in this environment?

Taste and vision will make or break companies

The only differentiator is taste

Before AI, everything was 0's and 1's

The limitation is that all logic has to be quantitative

With no room for ambiguity

Now, every layer allows for some ambiguity and unstructured data

This changes all software from the ground up

Everything must be re-thought

Opportunity.

Copywriting, psychology & positioning makes a landing page

Some companies are just confused

They don't know their audience and don't understand their needs/wants

It's a fundamental problem that can't be fixed with more code

You have to start at the psychology

Design is hard because

The search space is infinite

You're trying to categorize chaos

Find form in function

Make something beautiful

But also profitable

And sustainable

It's a balancing act

Having confidence in a path

Finding direction

Is not easy

I really love design

Would do this for free if I didn't have to pay rent
