> What kind of shadow spy network must exist around all these companies such that they all happen to be working on the same features at the same time. Stuff like that happened even before the invention of the telephone, humans within the same geographic location is even more predicable, so surely this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Who said I was surprised? :)

I mean your initial question kind of implies something that is likely to be the wrong answer, so sounds like at least someone could potentially be surprised by that :)

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.

It's a legitimate boon for throwing together little internal apps, mind. I can slap something together with Claude over a few evenings to fill a gap on tooling, or I can wrestle with Jira and CI and all that to tie things together with their own integrations. No thanks, I'll just take the API keys and build on top, to my exact specifications, and the interface will be passable even if it needs a lot of polish. Tailwi…

Previously you'd buy an admin template from ThemeForest for $10, slap your logo on it and and be done.

Anthropic is making the exact same mistake OpenAI did: lack of focus. Release, release, release, all good apps, all full of bugs. This is a massive mess and people aren't talking enough about how bad all of this is.

I think its hilarious. BUt what it really shows is there's no vision. If you had a vision and coherent strategy you'd concentrate resources - not dilute them across a myriad of projects.

To be fair, the vision isn't achievable yet. More training data is needed. These projects spring up to try and compel users into offering up training information in the niches that need more data. They don't really have to be good, or even long-lasting, if they satisfy the goal of getting the data sought after.

Interestingly, Claude Design has its own completely separate usage bar.

I'd be pretty annoyed if it was burning my Claude Code quota.

So far it's burned through 45% my design quota. On a positive note, I finally have my fonts rendering. I'm still waiting for it to figure out how it mangled the SVG versions of my logo. I've watched it trying a lot of stuff for 20 minutes and now I've got something that's not my logo.

What a sad take. For the sake of human satisfaction I hope this is a minority perspective.

> What a sad take. just repeating the same mistake as op: sadness/happiness is completely outside the scope here. these are aspects of a job - "design" explicitly relates to products not art. and wondering about the sadness/happiness of a job is like wondering about the marketability of a piece of art - it's completely besides the point!

>"design" explicitly relates to products not art

a product can be a piece of art and design can and does in practice often go hand in had with art, practically most designers also other than the utilitarian role practice the artistic one, wether you would want to group art within design as one is a matter of definitions

Why would they need to back to Canva? If teams are working within claude already I think they will just offboard canva/figma tasks into claude.

Non designers will vibe-design a prototype with claude, export it to canva and let the designers finish it up If code doesn't go this direction soon, I'd be surprised. PM builds a prototype with claude, or designer designs something in figma/canva - claude vibe codes 70% of the solution using your company's frameworks and design system, then hands it off to the developer who finishes it and productionizes it

Developers (and designers) need to be involved in the prompting phase. Handing off half-assed designs and code is just a recipe for disaster.

Let's not fool ourselves: their goal isn't to build a design tool, it's another training tool for a field where training data is hard to collect. We collectively reinforce predictions to sharpen the models. The pattern is clear across all their products. This is training for future one-shot generative UIs. UIs are already generative; this will scale that up to a world where applications are mostly UI-less.
