Jason Yuan (https://x.com/jasonyuan) has one of the most fascinating minds in design so naturally I like to keep tabs on what he is creating 😎

It kinda feels like how design operates at Anthropic is consistently 3-6 months ahead of the rest of the industry.

Some highlights:
- Designing experiences that don’t have UIs
- How Meaghan collaborates with Claude Tag

Meng To (https://x.com/MengTo?lang=en) is one of the people I keep tabs on to see how he's evolving his workflow as he builds his ideas with AI.
So I sat down with him to get a look into what his process looks like now… (spoiler: he’s moved everything to Codex)
We do a ton of screen-sharing and go deep into his strategies for prompting, how to get better outputs from the models, and more 👇
Some highlights:
Why Meng built his own local Notion tool
Why Meng writes 0% of his own code now
Strategies for design.md and agents.md files
How Meng uses GPT Image 2 to brainstorm UI design
How Meng’s workflow has evolved in the last 1.5 years

This week we are going behind the scenes of Config 2026 with Loredana Crisan (Figma’s Chief Design Officer) https://www.linkedin.com/in/loredanacrisan/
We talk about Figma’s vision for AI, why design is having “an identity crisis and a renaissance at the same time,” and what it means to use AI to express what’s already in your head (not outsource creativity to it).
It’s a clarifying conversation about taste, tools, and the future of design 👇
Some highlights:
- Designing systems not screens
- Loredana’s mental model for AI as a tool
- Building your own tools and mini apps in Figma
- What Figma is learning in their own UX research
- What types of designers Figma is hiring right now
