Even the biggest companies with the deepest pockets are struggling to hire top design talent. And as usual, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what drives most great designers. They want to be surrounded by other great designers and a culture that cares.

We cannot let AI ruin the em dash — one of the all-time best punctuation marks
After advising 50+ consumer companies over the last year, the one thing that separates those who can execute and those who can't: Having a full-time designer in the room at all times I've met with countless companies that have raised millions—and even one that has raised…
Two occasional hobbyhorses of mine intersecting: the necessity of creating certain UXes which are broadly useable by population and the existence of a large contingent of users who cannot read in the sense that you read.

Today we’re announcing our 24’ Summer release at @brexHQ! ☀️ AI-powered accounting with continuous close (first software ever to do so), two completely redesigned products, and a blazing-fast new UI with 100+ improvements that make Brex the most powerful *and* simple it’s ever…
Amazing seeing Brex at #4 in the list, just behind OpenAI, Anduril, and Stripe. Such a great group of companies and we're still just getting started 🚀

Simplicity will be the next theme in product. If you ask any company what made them successful I don’t think anyone will say their advanced and complicated planning process got them there.
an embedded user researcher that's there from inception to the messy middle to the final product is a superpower for designers and critical to making the best thing you possibly can

📢 Big news: Brex payables is here! Tap into our intuitive bill pay software & purchase cards—designed with AI—to help your AP team seamlessly manage procurement spend.✨ brex.com/solutions/paya…
Everyone talks about 10x engineers but the real risk for most companies is not whether you can build it, it’s if you’re building the right thing. A designer that can distill why a user is adopting and then prototype the most clear version of that insight will save you millions.
This is just… yes. @figma this is your best release yet. So many hours saved. #Config2023
It’s probably a mistake to assume a chatbot UI is sufficient The things that capture real markets are more likely to be actionable and push oriented rather than require users to think, do work, or ask intelligent questions

Interaction and UX design becomes more important as AI becomes super valuable. The more useful the software, the more important it is that the right coupling between the user and the software happens. Human computer symbiosis happens through great design.
