Five years into product design at a fintech, the majority of my work is documentation, edge cases, and maintenance.

Vibe decay originates in the gap between expectations and reality — but not the kind of gap that gets talked about in post-mortems. Founders build with a mental model of how adoption will unfold. Usually that model involves thousands of enthusiastic early users, rapid organic word-of-mouth, and a na...

According to W3Techs, WordPress powers roughly 43% of all websites. That is hundreds of millions of sites. But a massive chunk of them are running outdated themes, stale content, and designs that looked passable in 2019 but feel ancient today.

This article is not about how to build a design system. There are many good resources for that. This is about what happens after you build it, specifically when you are the only designer on the team.

Tried using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio 2026 to generate a full Agile sprint plan for rewriting a legacy application. Results: Codex Mini: Produced a vague, waterfall-style plan → clear misunderstanding of Agile. Full Codex: Better terminology (Definition of Done, backlog, etc.) but still mostly...

AI anxiety isn’t mainly about smarter models — it’s about your old skill stack being optimized for a world that no longer exists. “Super-agency” is the upgrade: you stop *doing* everything and start orchestrating systems (models, tools, workflows, agents) that produce value at scale. The winners won...

If you're building an AI product right now, the single most high-leverage thing you can do isn't to upgrade your model. It's to watch five users try to use your product without any help from you. Don't say anything. Just watch. You'll see exactly where the AI ends, and the confusion begins. That's y...

The biggest obstacle to mastery isn't ignorance; it's Anti-Knowledge: the functional but suboptimal habits that create a performance ceiling. Because our brains operate on stigmergy (self-organizing signal paths), we often follow "highways to nowhere" simply because they are well-worn. To break thro...
