Thoughts: 1. In the future, the probability something is generated entirely by AI will be inversely proportional to its intended lifespan. 2. For conceptually simple artifacts that are intended to have short lifespans, humans will still be involved just at a different level of…
It feels pretty obvious at this point that someone’s going to make billions building a social app that’s just for friends, no AI slop, no brainrot, calm design, chronological feed and no concept of followers.
Jonathan Franzen is one of the most influential novelists alive today. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a National Book Award winner, and this conversation is all about how he writes his books. For him, great writing begins with great characters. And developing great…
Word doesn't make you a Writer. And Figma doesn't make you a Designer. And also: everyone working on software should care about design. We should welcome more input in the design process and encourage non-designers to improve their skills / taste.
Taking phones off the internet boosts mental health. People were randomly assigned to block mobile internet for 2 weeks. They socialized, exercised, and read more—and became happier, less depressed & anxious, and more focused. Being unglued from devices is good for well-being.
Being a great designer is one thing. Being a great designer, while navigating structures and processes of a major corporation, and actually getting stuff built? That’s a whole different game.
one famous photographer I know once confided, “it’s really just taking a shit load of photographs and then picking the best one.” Reminded me that quality is often a function of quantity of options, time and tools for creation, and taste.
Every UX designer walking into a cockpit: Clutter! Every pilot walking into a cockpit: Clarity! The word "clutter" is terribly overused in the UX/design field, commonly serving as a superficial critique of decoration while often ignoring the design's true context.
Great designers look like creative geniuses, but they're actually just brute forcing hundreds of mental simulations faster than others can build and test one solution
Be curious about what's new, sure. That's expected. But it's more interesting to be curious about what's old. What stood the test of time? What worked before and still works now? What survived through all the jabs that you assumed would knock it out, but didn't? That's worth…
One of the most important city-building projects in the world. “Initially, everyone thought it would cause gridlock. But people adapted. Now we can’t imagine the highway ever being here.” The people-place that replaced a highway, transforming a city. theguardian.com/world/2025/jan…
Underappreciated reason everybody loves college: It's the only phase of your life where EVERYTHING is walkable.
Our design for a master plan for a new classical boarding school in New England. The school would begin with a multipurpose admin, classroom and dorm building, which over time would be replaced by new dorms, classroom buildings and a chapel. bootsmadesign.com/projects/educa…
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
The extra details elevate every experience. People won't ask for it, you just have to do it.
“An artist needs to have control of every aspect of a painting. A writer needs to have control over every sentence in a novel. And you simply cannot have control over every sentence in a novel if all you gave was a pretty short text prompt.” —Ted Chiang npr.org/2024/12/09/g-s…
