Тред про любовь
У меня муж такой, знаете, я ему говорю: не успеваю после зала в магазин, а так хочется фруктов.
Он уставший после работы сейчас дома: какие фрукты хочешь? Я куплю.
Через минут десять вижу списание с общей карты. Купил.

There's a gallery for navbars. For footers. Even 404s.
Niche UI inspiration sites have quietly taken over my bookmarks.
Save this, then tell me what's missing 🤔
A designer I spoke to last week said it went two years really quiet and then everything hit all at once.
Signed four enterprise clients, all referrals, all running at the same time. And now he's turning down work.
This is the same week I saw three different threads on X about how designers are finished and AI replaced everyone.
The people with the biggest audiences in this space are often the furthest from the actual market and they're optimizing for engagement, not for clients.
The industry isn't dying. It's just that the people who are busy don't have time to post about it.
They just keep their heads down and work.
This is genuinely high-tier rage bait if I've ever seen it.
Relegating the term "design" or "designers" to only product designers who are going to be allegedly replaced by design systems is just blatantly ignorant.
AI design tools are only as good as the person using them, and most tools need someone at the helm directing the operation to produce the best possible results in the direction they want.
A design system is the output of design thinking, not a replacement for it. Someone has to decide what the system should be, why those decisions serve the product, and when to break it because the product evolved. PMs feeding tokens into claude code aren't doing design, they're doing assembly. The moment the product needs to do something the system didnt anticipate, you need a designer again.
And "refreshed annually by the same consultant" is how you get dead brands. Ask anyone who's actually built one.
There are a myriad of designers out there that utilize AI ie: brand designers, graphic designers, product designers, etc., without losing their clients or their jobs, I wonder why...
If you want to talk about AI casualties, talk about software, not design.
Don't be fooled by shit like this. I got baited so you don't have to.
I'm running an agency in 2026 and the reality looks nothing like this.
We're hiring constantly, stocking up on the best designers we can find, and the bar moved higher but it's still embarrassingly low across the industry.
Design systems are either an enterprise problem at real scale or a one-off you knock out for a solo founder who vibe-coded an idea, and that second branch rarely has a budget worth touching.
Companies come to us now because they want strategy, ux, copy, design, motion, dev, and qa from one team that can ship all, not because they need a "design system the founder likes".
The idea that PMs and engineers will feed a system into an AI tool and call it product design is exactly what a non-designer would write to sound informed.
Reality I see daily is a lot different from this Twitter post.
The first casualty won’t be design. It’s the deliverable.
State of Prototyping survey, March '26 (n=1,478):
- 80.9% of design engineers spend the majority of their week vibe coding
- 59% shipped their own internal tool in the last six months
- 5 of the top 10 weekly tools are now AI. A year ago: 1.
The design function isn’t being eliminated. It’s absorbing engineering.
The Figma operator contracts. The designer-who-ships compounds. The deliverable dies. The function migrates up the stack.
The job title has always been in flux, but the shape of software design the work has never mutated to this degree before. That part is correct.
Many will mourn the old shape.
But designers who are able to ship and think in systems are about to thrive.
@gokulr if you mean pure product designer who only draws pixels, agree. you need to become a builder too
but more broadly, design won't just disappear, and the discipline and skillset will become more relevant than ever to separate those who don't care from the ones who do
