The 3 bricklayers story is being challenged by AI, as everyone (with AI) now thinks they are the vision/architect when, in fact, they need to remain a bricklayer. Or worse, AI does all the "bricklaying," and vision people get stuck in the clouds. #Ai #design sketchplanations.com/the-thr…

Designers greatest value will increasingly come from seeing the whole: defining the principles, relationships, mental models, and human experiences that no AI component library can generate on its own. uxdesign.cc/users-dont-see-y…

“The artist (Designer) is a collector of things imaginary or real. He accumulates things with the same enthusiasm that a little boy stuffs his pockets. The scrap heap and the museum are embraced with equal curiosity. He takes snapshots, makes notes and records impressions on tablecloths or newspapers, on backs of envelopes or matchbooks. Why one thing and not another is part of the mystery, but he is omnivorous.” ― Paul Rand, Paul Rand: A Designer's Art

Ok I did a thing... I just launched an overhaul of my portfolio website: chrisrbecker.com/index.html Made with love with @cluadeai assist. Check it out :)

Human-centered design is not a luxury that only big projects and deep pockets get to concentrate on. As UX designers, our role is to add clarity and visualize the human problems that exist in our systems.

The future of learning difficult things is very bright. opus5.5 all over this but who care this is great. #tangibleUI #arduino #aiweb learn-arduino-red.vercel.app…

some one @claudeai is Joe Vs The Vocano fan because Claude is "flibbertigibbeting" and I am here for it. Weird I can't find that gif :( Meg Ryan at her best... :)

“ When a joke makes us laugh, we say ‘Ha-ha!’ When a discovery is made in science, we say ‘Aha!’ When we are moved by a work of art, we sigh ‘Ah…’” — Alan Kay paraphrasing Arthur Keostler Here is the Keostler quote “The moment of truth, the sudden revelation, the flash of understanding — they all share the same pattern. The pattern is the perceiving of a situation or idea in two self-consistent but habitually incompatible frames of reference.” — Arthur Koestler for The Act of Creation uxdesign.cc/users-dont-see-y…

AI + GenAI is a fascinating space because designers who are motivated to make, think visually, and improve their ability to achieve their desired outcomes will produce better results. Quality in equals quality out.

No amount of AI bells and whistles will be as impactful as focused human-centered mental models, strong information architecture, clear user flows, and strong UX copywriting.

madebyadi.cc/ An impressive portfolio : ) I just started playing with the terminal tab, and it keeps getting better! @AdityaSur11 bravo.
