The reason it's considered (by many) acceptable to churn/sling/vibe code using AI is, in no small part, due to how we frame development in respect to design. We consider design thinking as both innately human and a non-technical code-free occupation. We think of developers as machines who only encode design.
If developers get replaced by AI, it's only because we dehumanised them already. And the development itself *will* get worse. Because the best developers actually think about their work.
”Assuming an “artificial intelligence” platform knows the difference between true and false is like assuming a pigeon can play basketball. It just ain’t built for it.“
This is great from @Ethan Marcotte
It's concerning to me that this """ethical dilemma""" comes up so frequently regarding self-driving cars. Does self-driving mean *never slows or stops*? Are self-driving cars all designed after the bus in Speed?
People are framing Figma’s “Sites” as just a misstep. Figma Sites is what we were all building with Figma already: terrible interfaces, guided by people who don’t understand web technologies, and obsessed with visual approximation over utility or accessibility. Figma took our devign-to-dev handover bullshit and automated it. Figma Sites is a mirror.
