Bang on. Love the final summary around what skills to focus on due it being very hard for AI to replace them.
Where’s the AI design renaissance? “My hunch: vibe coding is a lot like stock-picking — everyone’s always blabbing about their big wins. Ask what their annual rate of return is above the S&P, and it’s a quieter conversation.” [learnui.design]

Found this framing of 'moments' vs 'pieces' very powerful, especially when designing for platform experiences
📝 Happy Sunday! New post in my Philosophy for Designers series is now up. Continuing down the phenomenology rabbit hole, looking at how the "structural form of parts and wholes" might be useful in UX design.

9/9/99 was the only real event in gaming history. Everything else is a blur.
