OM DENNE EPISODE
We ask who actually holds the power to decide in design, exploring Stacie Sheldon’s argument that empathy often masks unchecked authority and Luke Wroblewski’s shift of that control from documentation to code. We contrast this structural shift with the human cost of the industry, from a professor advising students to hide their identity to a designer pausing history for user choice. It’s a look at how we navigate the tension between systemic power and individual voice in a field that is rapidly changing.
From The Feed- AI beyond average: from chatting to collaborating (Sen Lin) — Moving from simple AI chat to true collaboration is a key shift in design workflows.
- Sonnet 5.5 vs Opus 5.5: Which one is better for product design? (Nick Babich) — A comparison of Sonnet and Opus models for their effectiveness in product design tasks.
- How to test MCP Apps for accessibility, and why it matters (Harris Schneiderman) — Testing MCP apps for accessibility is essential to ensure inclusive user experiences.
- Anne Cantera – The New Design Stack: The Skills Traditional Designers Need to Add To Their Toolboxes ASAP (Chicago Camps) — Designers must orchestrate multimodal interfaces based on context rather than forcing interactions into single visual formats.
- Design Systems for AI Agents (info@lukew.com) — Using AI agents as a steering layer enforces design tokens automatically, shifting the source of truth from documentation to code.
- In/tension modeling: what gives us the right? (Stacie Sheldon) — Empathy often masks unchecked power, so designers should surface tension between conflicting user voices instead of silencing them.
- Moralia - designing a live historical dilemma game around one story every day (r/UI_Design) — The project pauses history for user choice and explicitly discloses AI use to retain designer creative authority.
- Junior UXR (r/UXResearch) — The field demands senior-level strategic insight from entry-level candidates, creating a structural catch-22 for junior researchers.
- How many designers do you think actually work on a website like Apple? (r/UI_Design) — The question reveals anxiety about who holds authority in design systems and the tension between local context and global consistency.
- "Racial Profiling" in Design Portfolios and recruiting? (r/Design) — Students are pushing back on outdated gatekeeping mechanisms that advise hiding Asian identity to get hired.

We ask what remains of human judgment when machines handle the heavy lifting, a tension that forces us to move from passive reporting to strategic recommendation. We examine Dan Saffer’s six interaction models and Jim Lewis’s data on AI’s false alarms to argue that our durable value lies in filteri…
We’re facing a quiet shift where the bottleneck in design has moved from generation to curation, as Tanner Kohler argues that we’re losing value by manually managing stale context libraries while Hiroshi Sato urges us to design for ideas that don’t yet exist. This tension between managing chaos and…
We examine the growing gap between AI’s expanding capabilities and our ability to control them, starting with Patrizia Bertini’s argument that recent safety incidents are inevitable results of prioritizing speed over structural integrity. This tension is mirrored in the community, where senior desi…
We ask whether AI’s speed is actually improving our work or just shifting complexity to users who must now manage the "evaluation plumbing," as Patrick Neeman argues. Sophie Shrimpton warns that we’re risking a digital landfill of disposable interfaces by confusing fast design with true U…
We explore the dangerous illusion of synthetic research, where Kyle Soucy argues that LLM-generated users create a false confidence that masks bad decisions, while Emily Haines Lloyd warns that the influx of low-quality machine text is squeezing out the nuanced human work that actually resonates. T…
