TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
We confront a hard truth today: do we actually control the future of design, or are we just reacting to economic forces like AI and AR? We unpack Catherine Chu's urgent call to fix accessibility in spatial computing before standards lock in, alongside Dave Winer's critique that Bluesky is reinventing the wheel instead of embracing open web protocols. As we navigate these industry shifts, we also sit with the community's raw reality, from the sobering math of job hunting to the debate over whether AI is speeding up our work or eroding the messy friction that leads to genuine insight.
From The Feed- Sorry, designers, we don’t decide the future of design — Institutions prioritize speed and scale over designer preferences, forcing a shift from execution to high-level interpretation.
- AR glasses are here, but what about accessibility? — Waveguide displays and spatial mapping can translate visual data into soundscapes, moving beyond simple screen readers for low-vision users.
- RSS creator on Bluesky & AT Proto — Dave Winer argues Bluesky should donate its protocol to a standards body and embrace existing web standards like RSS rather than reinventing them.
- Laid off after 5.5 months as a Senior Product Designer. Trying to reset. — A senior designer's layoff after only five and a half months highlights that tenure no longer guarantees job security.
- Has anyone else started using AI to speed up early-stage UX thinking? — The community debates whether AI tools create a shortcut trap that sacrifices the messy human friction needed for genuine insight.
- Error messages are still written for developers, not users. Why? — r/UXDesign
- the shadcn slop is getting annoying, but idk how to pivot. — r/UI_Design
- Major brands like Replit and Linear are still sponsoring and platforming Felix Lee & ADPList content in 2026 — r/UXDesign
- Reusing contributions from quantitative analysis in AI and HCI venues — r/hci
- Laid off on Friday — r/UXResearch
- Please rate my UI for my app — r/UI_Design
- The natural step for google — r/UXDesign

We question whether a $142k median salary actually buys a better life when inflation and location gaps quietly erode your buying power, a reality Jeff Sauro and Jim Lewis break down in their 2026 data. As we debate if we’ve been building design systems backwards by ignoring structural interactions,…
We explore the uncomfortable gap between AI’s ability to simulate average users and its failure to capture the "bad days" that drive innovation, a limitation highlighted by MeasuringU’s finding that digital twins systematically inflate satisfaction scores. While Luke Wroblewski details ho…
We ask why designers are still essential when AI can generate code in seconds, arguing that the answer lies in judgment rather than execution. Fabricio Teixeira and Nick Babich highlight how taste and decision rights are becoming the primary differentiators against AI’s sameness, even as tools like…
We’re asking whether the line between designing and building is actually dissolving, or if we’re just shifting the burden of coordination onto product managers who were never hired for it. Nil Thyrion argues that design is becoming the primary differentiator as code generation gets easier, while Je…
We explore the dangerous conflation of AI-assisted creation with actual product judgment, arguing that the ability to build is no longer the bottleneck—knowing if it’s good is. Drawing on Dan Maccarone’s critique of "vibe-coding" and Scott Berkun’s insights on the paralysis of contemplati…
