Software is increasingly treated as disposable in the AI era. Yet we spend half our waking lives looking at screens! We don’t want to spend that time with zombie products—monotonous, vacant, and uncared for. We want products with soul. 💜 I go deep on this in my talk from... Lenny Rachitsky's Summit:show more

🗣️ grok bot mentioned 🗣️

my favorite part of this talk is the encouragement to protect the strange <3

great talk!!

🙏

Thoughtful quote from @nabeelqu "One of the things that so offends us about AI ‘slop’ images is a sense that the details don’t matter. The cup is green, but it may as well have been blue."

the kbbq site example is so good 😆

All the talks were really good, but I think this was my favorite. Thank you!

we added many small touches in @bot 🎁

zombie products are real, i bounce from anything that feels uncared for

enjoyed listening to this live and meeting you!

🔥 Great talk

🙏

"Anticipate the context" 👏

Loved this one so much. Have told many people about it. I am holding on to and implementing the pay attention to Pepsi bubbles advice

Well damn, this is excellent

Whoa, high praise coming from you!

I literally never noticed the date thing, omg!

so good. glad to finally hear someone talk about raising the ceiling with new, hybrid human / ai techniques rather than just raising the floor with a skills library.

software was always disposable, now the disposal is automated

Been telling everyone about this talk. Now I can share 🙌

☺️

nice talk . thanks

The original Mac team signed the inside of the case. Nobody was supposed to see it.

Craft is going to play a key part and as a differentiator in quality software. @lil_dill 👏

'more soul' everywhere might be our baseline. love this. got out of half a day at our kids school (amazing) and it's quite shocking to see half the parents in the room rushing to their phone screens and turn into dead zombies (literally) while life was just happening all around

It's the details, people!

Just listened! Unsurprisingly, great talk and message 🫡

All of this is on the assumption that you're still designing for humans, and when you do design for humans: "Eventually, all UI will be chat and gestures in, chat and video out." -Naval

the “products” dissolve in to an on demand generated masterpiece of simplicity sitting atop insane complexity. need to mash up a workflow across 6 different services? agents will grab their cli’s and generate the ui for minimum as needed HIL to accomplish the task. the agent will be the os in your pocket. the kernel will do this.

Great talk and completely agree! Software should feel delightful and have a soul. I just redid my entire website because of this thought. How can I communicate the story with deligh and soul behind it.

Amen
