    LLMs

    Their wordsI'm just going to do it everything from scratch but now with actual basic HTML. And then that's when I jumped into this. And then it was magic. Then it was so easy because then suddenly the LM was using the actual in the canvas the actual language that it understands.

  3. Our readingDirecting agents is a different way of creating that requires a different part of the brain, and it could be argued to be less creative than making by hand.

  5. Our readingDelegating to LLMs instead of to junior designers means the knowledge and judgment of experienced designers no longer reaches juniors.

    LLMs

    Their wordsBut all that knowledge that you might have and all that judgment and filtering that you will do as a potentially a more a designer that has had some years under your belt is not going to a junior designer anymore. It's just going to another model.

  7. Our readingWhen the repo already has a design system, high fidelity matters less, since fonts and spacing are already set and all the agent needs is a direction.

    Their wordsin the repo there's already a design system. I don't feel like I need to go into high fidelity as much because uh a lot of that stuff like the fonts, the spacing, all of those already rules in the design system with the agent. All I need is just like a direction of what I want to do.

  11. Our readingA static artboard makes edge cases hard to think of, so you end up designing only the happy path, because you are not testing with real data or real components.

    Their wordsyou're not just working on a static artboard where just mimicking and you're just like a trying to think of all the edge cases, but at the end it's hard to think of those. So you end up just creating the happy path, you know, or just the static path because you're not testing

  13. Our readingWorking alone with an agent in a terminal can lead into an AI-psychosis rabbit hole, because it will always agree with all your terrible ideas and you end up building a monster nobody wants.

    Their wordsYou can go into a rabbit hole like AI psych psychosis rabbit hole if you're just working with terminal in isolation you know because you go and and this thing that will always say yeah yeah let's build that they will always agree with all your terrible ideas then uh you go build a monster that nobody wants you know so you want to avoid that
