Notes
Short notes on product design, shipping and working with AI. Most of them started as posts on LinkedIn or in my Telegram channel. Here they get a bit more room.
- Treat AI like a junior on your team AI made routine cheap. The decisions are still yours, and so is knowing why they were made.
- “Oopsie” is not emotional design A friendly tone at the wrong moment isn’t warmth. Calm, trust and relief come from things working.
- You’re not a perfectionist. You’re afraid to ship. Perfectionism looks like high standards. Most of the time it’s fear of being judged.
- Feedback isn’t about your design When someone criticizes a screen, they are telling you about a goal they can’t reach. Find which one.
- Senior isn’t who knows more. It’s who asks less. Seniority is how far you carry a task without someone checking on you.
- Morpheus is the perfect lead Rewatch The Matrix as a story about managing people. It holds up.
