I published the eulogy I gave for my dad.

he was a brick mason who believed that what you build with care should last generations. he applied that to everything: his work, his marriage, his family.

miss you, dad.

Design lead for Claude: The classic design process is dead.

Here's what's replacing it.

Jenny Wen (@jenny_wen) leads design for Claude at @AnthropicAI, was previously director of design at @Figma, and a designer at @Dropbox, @Square, and @Shopify.

In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:
🔸 Why the classic discovery → mock → iterate design process is becoming obsolete
🔸 What a day in the life of a designer at Anthropic looks like, including her AI tool stack
🔸 Whether AI will eventually surpass humans in taste and judgment
🔸 Why Jenny left a director role at Figma to return to IC work
🔸 The three archetypes Jenny is hiring for now

This conversation changed how I think about the future of design.

@KLiess11 @HuskersGameday @TrevAlberts My guess is that he has been trying to solve it. He's done so much and speaks so clearly about where athletics are headed. Doesnt seem like a guy to air dirty laundry in public. He had enough and realized the only vote that would truly count would be if he voted with his feet.
