THE CURRENT STATE OF PRODUCT
DESIGN IN CORPORATES:

Last year we didn't know who we were designing for. (stakeholders' opinions)

This year we don't know what we are designing on. (unclear scope and direction)

Next year probably we won't know what we will be designing with. (all the AI tools that simply don't work)

To all senior management: don't get obsessed with shipping feature by feature that nobody asked for, merely for the sake of temporarily boosting business stats and metrics in the name of "user experience enhancement" which is actually pretty shameless.

My theory is that Liquid Glass & Icon Composer started as a design tool solely for the Photos app icon, and people liked messing with it so much they were like screw the consequences let's just built the entire OS design language on top of this

Apple's AI pitch is simple and very Apple: it doesn't matter that it's late, and limited, because it's more private than any other option on the market

Jeff Bezos believes AI is going to lead to unprecedented productivity gains which could result in cheaper food and housing. Internally, Amazon employees mock the company’s AI tools, refer to its output as “slop,” and joke about the company’s failed attempt to motivate employees to use AI.

Not everything has to be lucrative
Not everything needs to be profitable or efficient to be valuable. The most meaningful work often appears wasteful until it yields significant results.

Finally finished the book Project Hail Mary and caught the movie before it’s gone from cinema… well comparing to the book, there’s still a lot of details omitted out in the movie so yeah, despite a good movie, I still recommend to read the book :))

Been saved this speech in my iPod Classic for many years and whenever I’m struggling with seeing the vision of myself in the future, or starting to losing my direction in life, I’d listen to it for a few times, word by word.

Dell corporate laptop is so amazingly useless: took 5 min to start up, had a 15-min meeting, left for hibernating and after 3 hours the battery was completely dead. This is a serious joke in power management.

On taste: while some may view it as an innate gift, it is primarily something one learns and develops through conscious effort. For most people, taste is not a priority, particularly within a cultural landscape that values economic output and productivity above all else.
