hey folks,
welcome back to signal vs noise—my weekly roundup of the sharpest ideas, tools, and inspiration i’ve come across lately. here’s your curated dose of what matters (and what actually moves the needle) in design, tech, and the future of work.
udayan walvekar breaks down why most cold emails fail: too much “i,” not enough “you.” his thread is a masterclass in flipping the script and making your outreach about the recipient, not yourself. if you’re job hunting, pitching, or just want to be less ignored, this is a must-read.
chetty arun (razorpay) shares how their goal isn’t to replace people with ai, but to empower every employee—across all roles—to become 100x more effective. the thread highlights how ai is being democratized beyond just tech teams, and why companies that don’t adapt will be left behind.
this in-depth youtube roundtable brings together top investors to discuss which sectors will thrive (or fade) over the next decade. from the rise of ai and longevity, to the future of urbanization, education, and dating, the conversation is packed with hot takes, trends, and second-order effects worth thinking about.
aiverse.design is an ever-growing library of ai-ux patterns, interactions, and actionable cheatsheets for anyone designing intelligent products. browse 195+ real-world examples and emerging patterns used by 150+ product teams. if you’re building anything with ai, this is your go-to reference for what’s working now.
we at design originals club recently hosted an ama with charmie kapoor (associate director, design at razorpay; ex-microsoft, unacademy, harvard) on how ai is changing the design process, portfolio tips, and her journey to harvard. the session covers everything from using ai tools at razorpay to breaking into leadership roles. if you missed it, you can check out the full recap and key insights here.
that’s a wrap for this edition. if you found something that hit home, or have a link i should check out for next week, just reply to this email—always love hearing what’s on your radar.
cheers,
shivam
