Design isn’t less valuable. Empathy, synthesis, systems thinking, taste  are  still incredibly valuable.
But the design process we’ve been defending like gospel?
That was built for a different era.
And today, it fits about as well as a fax machine in a Slack channel.

I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process.

That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally.

One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

Introducing Dasher Tasks

Dashers can now get paid to do general tasks. We think this will be huge for building the frontier of physical intelligence. Look forward to seeing where this goes!

Claude Code for design… kinda wild tbh. Tried the /frontend-design skill for a prototype and it genuinely surprised me. It doesn’t just spit out generic AI slop, it actually makes smart product decisions. Prioritizes key actions, structures info well, keeps things clean.

[Rahul ☀️ @rdas121]

Claude Skills might be the most underrated design tool right now.
I built one that generates web-based slides in seconds:
• Understands audience + goal
• Shows multiple design directions
• Adds subtle motion + responsiveness
Presentations are starting to feel more like systems

Crazy time to be a designer

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

You can now design directly in your codebase.

Select elements, modify them visually, and Cursor writes the code.
