> this won't replace Figma or designers If every designer takes less time to do their job, you need less designers. There’s no getting around that simple math.
As if designers spend most of their time actually "designing". Same flaw of thinking with programmers and AI replacing their jobs. As if the main problem (and a major time waster) is actually programming and not dealing with a million of other things.
But AI is replacing programmer jobs. AI is taking on a part of those 'million other things' as well, and if you can shrink your organization due to AI use, many of those other things just go away.

I'd be curious to hear from you in 3 months whether or not it ended up replacing designers at your agency, and why. Perhaps you could commit to answer?
You replace designers with who? Who is the magic person (who is not a designer) doing the work? CEO? CTO? I heard these stories when Midjourney started and everyone on gamedev channels where screaming how artists/graphic designers would be irrelevant... I was always puzzlde by who is going to be doing their work if they are gone...
Whoever used to assign tasks to the designer might now be able to assign them to a bot instead.
Or the design may be part of a larger task that has been delegated to a bot.

> their engineers are excellent... they work 12 hours plus a day regularly What? In my experience people who are good at their job can get it done in a reasonable amount of time. Working 12 hours a day is obsession, no competence. There can be overlap, but there is no causation.
You can look at the number of github issues on the claude code repo and think about how many hours a day people need to work to address them. Then look at the changelog of Claude Code. They are releasing daily.
All their outputs are slop, nobody is actually working to address them.

#695This explains why Mike Krieger left the board of Figma ( https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/16/anthropic-cpo-leaves-figma... )
Wow. So he was on their board, learning all about how their business works and what they’re working on, and then launches a competitor? Is that really legal?
Especially considering this is very very similar to Figma Make
Re: Claude Design
#696I reckon something like this has only been possible to develop because of how homogenous the internet has become in terms of design ever since the glass effect and drop-shadows took over in Web 2.0 and Twitter Bootstrap entered the scene. You'll get a competent UI with little effort but nothing truly unique or mind-blowing. Impressive technology, but that old skool artisanal weirdness of yore only becomes more valuab…
So this will turn out to be the most expensive web template business. Not really seeing how they expect to make money. I guess post IPO, after the insiders cash in out of lock period its irrelevant.
Thank you for saying this.
I hear it all the time in the recent two years: web development is apparently dead now, because anyone can just slap together a web site or build a dashboard in minutes etc. because of LLMs.
But that has been true for decades: Templates, component libraries and so on.
But I guess it’s now easier to adjust them if you‘re not familiar with their configuration or something.

I know what you mean.. and me as traditional none designer have been using bootstrap css since the start. As usually my css would look like an engineer trying toso design.
When you say old school artisnal design and weirdness do you mean something like this: (shameless plug, but relevant to design)

The design for this was literally "90s Arcade / street fighter 2 look"
Funny enough without AI, i would not have been skilled enough to make the graphics (background, logo etc)

McDonald's is extremely different around the world. Different menu, different price.
I second that. There is a mile difference between the sorry excuse of a burger that’s called Big Tasty and McCrispy in the Netherlands versus the already way better proportioned and fresher one you get in Germany, up to the better ones in Italy. Besides the bun, it is noticeable in every part. The amounts and quality of the sauce, vegetables, and meat. And finally how the burger is presented. So if this difference ca…
Maybe your sample size is too small? I've lived close to the NL/D border for a while and the McD quality was indistinguishable on both sides of the border. The variation between restaurants in the same country and also between different days/times in the same restaurant was much greater than between countries.
Thatis, if you happen to go to a random McD in some country and the big mac was great that day and you go to a different restaurant in a different country on a different day and the big mac was bad, then that difference has likely least to do with them being in different countries. It's not like they actually use different recipes.

Designs have been settling on a local maxima. If you are aware of a better hill to be climbed, please do let everyone know.

I’m not saying it will replace all designers immediately. But same as with developers: it may kill many junior positions quite quick. That’s why I’m asking the guy to share his experience 3 months from now.
