Our reading
Fleshed-out plans and perfect spec or PRD docs are not needed to get Claude Code started working.
Their wordsI don't need to have fleshed out plans. I don't need to actually have like the perfect spec docs or PRD docs to get Cloud Code to start working
Our reading
"I don't know" becomes a kind of superpower when you can work with Claude Code to figure things out.
Their wordsI don't know becomes kind of a superpower cuz I'm assuming I could work with Claude code to figure it out
Their wordsLLMs are going to hallucinate like crazy, going to make stuff up.
Their wordsThere are other massive unlocks to me for AI around workflows, around like how whether it's content design, things that you wouldn't see, organization, like analysis. So these Claude code skills, you can I mean you can create anything that's repeatable pattern. You can create a Claude code skill for.
Our reading
People have more repeatable patterns than they think; they are just not great at identifying them.
Their wordsI think a lot of times we don't think we've got repeatable patterns. We do, we're just not great at identifying them.
Their wordsat their core LLMs are just pattern matching and so they are fantastic at very quickly identifying patterns that even though the human brain is an unbelievable like the greatest pattern matcher in history, we still have these gaps. And so you can use AI to become this mirror that's like reflecting back at you some things that you might be missing about yourself and your work and where you're at.
Their wordsOne thing that LLMs I don't think do really well at is like creative exploration, but you can teach it to do divergent thinking very quickly.
Their wordsif you don't know where to start, you just start typing.
Their wordsThe more context you give it about your work and what you're trying to accomplish, the better the output will be.
Our reading
A skill is a set of repeatable, specific instructions that augments what Claude Code can do.
Their wordsall it is is it's a set of repeatable specific instructions that augments what Claude code can do.
Their wordschat surfaces are only going to be more and more prominent.
Their wordsSo AI native has to be beyond just like I made a really cool shader or I made this like dither effect that every other person is making.
Their wordsit's easy for us right now, I think, to have like, "Oh my gosh, we can just do all the things." And it's like, "Yeah, but is it worth doing? And do you feel proud of the output itself?
Their wordsMCPs are they're not going anywhere. Anyone who says an MCP is dead is like, that's hype. Like that's crazy. But, they're going to change quite a bit and we're going to see a lot more companies leaning more and towards better semantic APIs and CLIs than they will an MCP
Their wordsthe context window, the window that the AI can hold and think gets filled up very quickly with an MCP.
Their wordsdo your products have an agentic focus to them? Or is everything readable by an agent because there's going to be a lot more agents doing the work for people. So you have to like think through that as a designer.
Their wordsyou have to demonstrate that you understand these systems and you're like you're actually building something with them. Whether it is like another shader plugin system, just do something with it to see and explore and be able to to talk to it and like talk through the process.
Their wordsif your site is on Squarespace and it's a basic Squarespace template, you're probably going to get passed on even if the content's really good.
Their wordsthe bar is so high. Like everyone wants the same type of designer, the same shape of designer that if you're not using these tools to differentiate yourself a little bit like you are going to get left behind and that sucks.
Their wordsWe've had quality, we've had craft, but I think what people are going to be desperate for is more of that human side of things
