INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
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.
