Contrarian view - systems thinking will matter more than taste for designers in the AI era.
As GenUI becomes the norm, designers will shift from designing individual experiences to designing the systems that generate them.
Components. Rules. Guardrails. Evals.
The next generation of great designers will define how AI creates personalized experiences, not just what those experiences look like.
Taste is key. Systems thinking will define the future of design.

Today marks a big milestone for @CollectiveFin
We secured $100M in financing to power the future of solo business.
We are entering a new era of entrepreneurship, one where the size of your ambition is no longer limited by the size of your team. AI is making it possible for a single person to build what once required an entire company. The next generation of great businesses will look radically different from the last.
With AI, we are realizing our purpose faster than ever - setting solopreneurs free to do what they love.
Deepest thanks to our members, team, and investors — new and existing — for supporting us as we build that future for America's 32 million solo businesses.
It's Day 1. Time to build.

Collective has raised $100M to build the future of solo business.
We’re building the AI-native financial OS that gives every Business-of-One the back office of a much bigger company.
Thank you to our members, our team and our investors.

Memos or decks for Series C AI companies?
Thoughts appreciated.
Thoughts appreciated.
Big ups to @garrytan for calling this out.
AI is real. Many companies are doing incredible things not just from a tech POV, but also on revenue growth.
That said, the misrepresentation of the business health is something that I've noticed an unfortunate uptick in.
It's not just revenue. It's margin, it's CAC, etc.
Hopefully this gets back to a healthier spot soon.

Here's YC's official advice about being truthful and precise about what is pilot, bookings, revenue and recurring revenue.
Founders, particularly first time founders, need to sear this into their brains. Don't mistake one tier for another. Be precise, and always be truthful.View quoted post on X
