This article, Stretch, Don’t Hide: Ambition, Empathy and AI by David Lewis is a great read and a great reminder… As we start to “vibe code” into spaces traditionally shaped by deep UX and engineering expertise:

🩷 Stay empathetic
🤝 Stay respectful
🤔 … And stay asking, “What don’t I understand yet?”

Developing subject matter expertise in areas where you’re not the primary user has always called for designers to have curiosity, empathy, and respect. Design systems live where UX and engineering meet. These same soft skills will matter even more as AI tools enable deeper collaboration across our disciplines.
