I think this is a big gap in software design culture. There's lots of commentary on visual design and micro-interaction, but remarkably little explicating conceptual and structural design.

A distressingly high % of the prose I see online is now AI-generated. It feels like I'm playing a coordination game in which a rising fraction of the world is defecting? And I guess it feels worse because there's this sense of insult—like, "did you think I wouldn't notice?" And then: "wait, do others not notice??" It's not subtle!

Very excited about Interface Studies—videos explicating and discussing ideas and problems in user interface design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frjyb4_4Rlg (via Kevin Lynagh—thanks!)
Unfortunately in my domain (mobile interface with heavy gestures and animation) that's not yet tractable, even with lots of homegrown scaffolds and probes. But things will probably look very different in a year.

It sucks and I hate it. I'm moving faster, but the work is unpleasant and unrewarding. It seems awfully hard to exert *partial* technical control—much easier to exert ~full or ~none.
The ideal, maybe, is something like what @simonlast out…
Like many, I've been trying to make some middle ground work: trying to delegate more than the first camp, while giving the work more focus and technical oversight than the second. My role is planning, technical guidance, and code review. T…
Of my friends who use coding agents heavily, the happiest seem to fall into two distant camps:
a) Controlled fast loops: 1-2min cycles, mostly single-threaded, still totally in control of the code, using the agent "to type faster"
b) Deleg…
Delightful interactive tour through dozens of tiny muscle-memory-and-flow-promoting interface details: https://aresluna.org/show-your-hands-honor
Not fully reliable ofc—doesn't capture the awe in jazz, plein-air painting, etc. But I think the absence of creative time density says something about what's missing in slop. At least in improv arts there's expertise density, which is a di…
Thinking about "creative time density": how many person-hours/years went into this specific artifact/place/experience?
It's a reliable awe trigger for me. Performers spending hundreds of hours preparing a few minutes of material for a big …
