Product + Story. Shipping products since 2008. Wrote and produced "modern-day Catch-22" feature film on immigration- For Here or To Go?

[Rishi S Bhilawadikar @rishisb]

In 2017, I released "For Here or To Go?" – a feature film about legal Indian immigrants.

It was mischaracterized by Breitbart as a “cheap labor lobby funded H-1B movie.”

The same flawed arguments are making the rounds today.

Here’s why they’re wrong 🧵

in today's keynote, apple produced this really interesting graphic that ironically outlines the core mechanics for a new type of operating system (for perhaps a new class of devices).

you can see how this moves the world from an app based ecosystem to an intent centric world.

i.e. you roughly do not need third party applications in this world at all esp when ai has the ability to construct & deconstruct interfaces / experiences on demand.

@karrisaarinen @hnshah Built an entire enterprise security product, UX/UI included. It’s all about the domain knowledge and PRD to guide the agent. Orchestration loops and @paper with a few skills does it.

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps

But

1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or

2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or

3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)

@MMAVillain The only thing people will associate here is that you are an angry racist.

[Rishi S Bhilawadikar @rishisb]

@vanschneider AI makes it clear peoples agendas are the bottlenecks, makes it very difficult to hide. So in this phase everyone turns on each other. No fun.

Select group to work with is the way forward

@cannibal_crypto @wesbos Correct. Could happen to anyone when their livelihood and identity depends on it

[Rishi S Bhilawadikar @rishisb]

Designers need to be aware of where they lie in the value chain.

[Crypto Cannibal @cannibal_crypto]

@wesbos Literally the only people complaining about this are designers. Ask if your customers give a shit. Bunch of design elitists with no real paying customers lol

[Rishi S Bhilawadikar @rishisb]

@MMAVillain @cannibal_crypto @wesbos You saying product is shit because it looks like this?

That’s the entire point @cannibal_crypto is making.

Form follows function. If product does the job, form matters less or not at all.

Designers need to be aware of where they lie in the value chain.

@shreyas @hnshah Awareness is step 1. Curating information is the real judgement, really easy to get distracted or drown

Silencing ego and simultaneously improving discernment is where this advise can really help
