Great reminder from Kai Wong about getting stuck on a solution too early:
Imagine this: the Product Manager has a vision of a design solution based on some requirements and voices it to the team. They say, “I want a table that allows us to check statuses of 100 devices at once.”
You don’t say anything, so that sets the anchor of a design solution as “a table with a bunch of devices and statuses.”

EssaysProduct design is going to change profoundly within the next 24 months. If the AI 2027 report is any indication, the capabilities of foundational models will grow exponentially, and with them—I believe—will the abilities of design tools. We're witnessing the early stages of a transformation where AI will bridge the gap between design and code, moving us from pixel-pushing to prompt-driven creation. This isn't just an incremental improvement—it's the beginning of a new paradigm: Prompt. Generate. Deploy.
