A sharp tool can still ruin the cut [via doc]
When AI answers before you understand.
This reminds me of the first Japanese chef’s knife I ever bought. It looked beautiful. Perfect balance and incredibly sharp. It cut through almost everything with no effort… including me.
One of the first things I did with it was slice my hand. The knife went through my skin with no resistance. I still have the scar.
The knife wasn’t the problem, it was doing exactly what it was designed to do. I just wasn’t ready to handle it.
AI feels powerful, easy to use, and only getting sharper. If you’re not careful, it lets you move so fast that you skip the moments where attention and judgment matter most.
So the question isn’t if AI is sharp enough for you to use it.
The real question is whether you’re paying enough attention to where and when you’re cutting.
Loop Engineering by Addy Osmani
Loop engineering is replacing yourself as the person who prompts the agent. You design the system that does it instead. A loop here can be thought of a recursive goal where you define a purpose and the AI iterates until complete. I believe this may be the future of how we work with coding agents. However, its still early, I’m skeptical and you absolutely have to be careful about token costs (usage patterns can vary wildly if you are token rich or poor), so I want to unpack what it is and what it means.
Discovery vs Delivery by Buzz Usborne
In the same way designers will increasingly operate in the “last mile” of delivery, I think there’s incredible opportunity in the early incubation phase too — where vague problems are shaped into durable ideas before delivery even begins.
And importantly, discovery isn’t owned by design teams. The best product organizations create environments where great ideas can come from anywhere — engineering, support, leadership, research or directly from customers themselves.
Liquid Glass: who gets to decide how an interface looks?
Notes from the 2026 WWDC keynote
The future of adaptive interfaces is exciting, but getting there doesn’t mean abandoning judgment in the present. It should mean being more deliberate about which decisions belong to the system, which belong to the user, and which belong to you.
