The Design Transition

AI generates the screens, the flows, and the first prototype now. Design did not shrink. It got promoted, from producing artifacts to specifying behavior, owning the quality bar, and designing for output nobody can fully predict. This series is for designers and design leaders living through that shift, and for the product, engineering, and executive leaders who have to reorganize around it. Two parts a week, each written against that week's findings. Part 1 is the thesis.
