Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Taste is your Moat (Dylan Field of Figma) · 2 Oct 2025 podcast

I think um more people coming to the design process that can help add in context as well.

And there's no reason why someone uh who's outside of design or doesn't call themselves a designer

Whatever they identify as engineer, product manager, CEO, whatever.

Everyone should be able to come in and say, Okay, here's an idea.

And the idea, hopefully, could be parsable in high fidelity, uh, to the standards of at least a design system and consistent.

So it's not distracting because an idea should be evaluated on some merits.

But then I think from there, the actual exploration and making that great, that is a hard design task still.

So how do we lower the floor for everyone coming in, but also raise the ceiling, make it so designers can do even more and produce

Uh well I think uh especially in the context of teams where there's, you know, they've done a lot of work in Figma

Of course, there are patterns that with that team's consent you can tap into and um figure out how to help improve outputs.

But I do have a little skepticism about the like fast fashion interpretation.

I just think that there's uh where we're currently at, at least with the models, and you know, of course, we're on this trajectory, whether we're on an S-curve or an exponential or it's an S curve that'll turn.

into an exponential.

I I don't know, maybe you've got a point of view.

Uh but I I was kind of like, okay, uh I'm excited for the ride.

And as long as I'm here today.

I'm here today.

I'm well, uh my mental model and strategy is just like

Your strategy should always be okay.

Assume AI models get better and make sure that makes Figma better.
