Lagging indicator.

Design isn’t dying. It’s evolving.

The designers who dig deep into human problems, bring product judgment, and lead with taste will define what’s next.

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.

@ericsyuan This is a very annoying experience. Do you think @Zoom and @Apple work together to fix this problem?

💡 Productivity tip: When I add any new article to my @Pocket, I automatically add the source to my @feedly through @IFTTT. This helps me grow my RSS feed with best sources.
