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

So what wins?

Well, it's brand, it's point of view, it's taste, it's craft, it's design.

And I think that's if that's the world we're headed for, which I'm very confident it is, then it's not enough just to use AI to generate an output.

I think you have to push further than that and really get in the detail into the craft, in addition to utilizing AI to explore the option space faster so you can go as deep as possible in the direction.

You choose.

Yeah.

Well, first of all, just kind of explain Code Connect a bit more.

So uh to expand on what you already said, for I think there's different situations that you might find yourself in.

So you might be going to zero to one, making a prototype of something that's rather disposable.

You might be actually working on a personal project.

Where you're not making something that's disposable, you're building on something that's existing, but the code base is small.

It's like pretty clear what's going on to you, and there's not a lot of patterns that exist.

Or you might be in a pretty large code base where there's a lot of existing patterns, a lot of code, and you're trying to fit those patterns.

So especially in that last example, I think as you get

to these larger codebases code bases and larger sort of settings inside of companies.

It's very important to be consistent with existing patterns in the code, but also it's important to create a design system where you're able to create consistency at scale for designers and make it so that people are more efficient.

So they're not always recreating different buttons, et cetera.

There's the world of Figma and design, and there's the world of code.

And there are advantages to how

having a source of truth in Figma and a source of truth in code.
