This week we’re taking a look at the workflow used to write production-quality code with AI, because this tells us a lot about how UX research and product design roles will change in the future.

I received 177 responses from senior designers and content designers. But the best response came from Joyce, a self-proclaimed non-designer.

In practice, the hard part isn’t writing code, it’s everything that comes before it. Which component should be used? Which props are correct for this case? How does this behave with keyboard navigation and screen readers? What tokens to apply?

Last week an autonomous AI agent named OpenClaw (fka Clawd, fka Moltbot) took the tech community by storm, including a run on Mac minis as enthusiasts snapped them up to host OpenClaw 24/7.

Deep inheritance hierarchies create ‘everything touches everything’ architectures that resist change and accumulate technical debt. Here’s why inheritance is the gateway drug to frameworkism.

It was the only technique that didn’t require media queries or JavaScript. It works with any number of items, allowing you to easily control the size and gap using CSS variables.
