highest fidelity approximation of that idea that you can as quickly as possible, that I would say, yes, that is necessary.

As a designer, you should be able to produce that prototype, produce that working product if you have the time and the means when you're trying to get other people to empathize with your idea.

But that doesn't mean that when you're starting your thinking process, that may be a whiteboard.

is actually like the best place to start or a blank sheet of paper or a figma canvas that works in the dumb old way that they used to work i just i just think that the design thinking can still benefit from those different mediums those different ways of doing the thinking because of the constraints that they apply because of the the space that they create i think that's different than saying hey if you're at the point where you want to like share your idea and get people to empathize with your idea as deeply

as they possibly can.

What's the best way to do it?

Yeah, like have them use the thing and feel it in the highest fidelity approximation that you think it should be.

And so that might be a working product or a working prototype, but I don't think that means that all design thinking should start in a vibe coding platform.

In terms of the AI coding, I mean, definitely Cloud Code is the far and away.

And I think just a lot of people make the transition from, I want to start with something that has more familiar UX, like Cursor, and then move to the terminal.

And there's a lot of freedom in moving to the terminal and almost having layers of the abstraction even less visible.

not worrying about what files it's creating, not worrying about inspecting the files, like kind of gaining that confidence.

I think that's what I'm seeing most.

And then, you know, I'd say the next is starting with the kind of the more familiar applications for prototyping, like Lovable or Figma make.

But the transition that I typically see is that you start with kind of like that Lovable.

It's more familiar.

It's

Feels less scary.

It doesn't feel as much like coding.

And you move to something like a cursor and eventually in the terminal.
