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

maybe you go repeat in a few times, but it was a process.

And I think

With Figma, you can absolutely follow that process, but also we recognize that roles are blurring, stages are blurring.

And as all that blurs, how do you actually support different ways of working?

You might want to make a prototype as part of or in place of, you know, a PRD.

you might actually want to focus more on the design as a high fidelity descriptor of what this could mean if the does the cost to make design and to create designs is lower.

And I think that the more that you can kind of expand that option space for people and bring them into a surface to align design and visual fidelity might be the place where you actually can align best.

And there's also the question of, okay, how far can a spec get you?

And why is a spec different than code?

So if code is the complete spec

In terms of it as the most determined, uh clear way to show intent of what should happen in every edge case, well, how much that can be inferred?

I think that's an open question, but one that we'll all be like thinking a lot about soon.

And if you think about sort of the value stack overall, it feels to me that um the better code generation gets, the more design matters.

And the more that actually the human pushing on design matters too.

Because even if you have a good starting spot from your design system, from you know, AI generation, whether it be code or image, you I think need to push design forward, not just as an individual screen.

But as a system.

in order to actually compete, differentiate, and win.

It's been our thesis for a long time, design is a differentiator.

But I think it's even more true in this world where we're at now, where the rate of software creation is going exponential and maybe even vertical.

And in that world you have more software, there's more competition.
