You can play piano (unless you can’t play piano).

How the media turns rich guys’ opinions into news.

The least fun but most required part of our work.

The functional alignment between AI capabilities and human intent.

Notes from the 2026 WWDC keynote.

Write-first design prevents falling in love with the wrong thing by prioritizing reasoning over implementation.

Some ideas only show up when you take the long way around, when you don’t quite know what you’re looking for yet.

The projects that defy clarity and specificity.

One’s ability to ignore politics is a product of functional system that shares your worldview.

More agents running doesn’t mean more of you available—your cognitive bandwidth doesn’t parallelize.

Thought leadership got cheap. Thinking didn’t.

Texts as products, or texts as means to something very different.

The internet you grew up on isn’t dying. A commercial veneer glued on top of it is. A visual essay about what actually persists.

AI can produce work that looks expert without being expert. The failure arrives in two shapes, and both are reshaping the workplace.

There is no ‘source of truth’ when everything changes at every moment.

The assumption behind AI design tools is very clear: that design is the act of producing.

What happens when a designer stops waiting.

On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal.

Choose the right tool for each project based on its requirements, not past preferences.

The beast is hairy enough that entire design roles now specialize in wrangling the system itself.
