Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tommy Geoco - The state of the design industry right now
Q: What signals are the most important indicators of high AI fluency in a designer's workflow?

Brandon Jacoby - Seeing Taste vs. Creating Taste as a designer

By pursuing craft with intention and ensuring that solutions are commercially viable, thereby aligning deep design craft with meaningful business outcomes and broader societal impact.
Brandon Jacoby - Seeing Taste vs. Creating Taste as a designer
Q: How did the experience influence your move to independent practice?
The ability to explore freely, combine a broad set of experiences, and envision a company-wide, zero-to-one approach inspired him to start an independent practice where collaboration with founders and a focus on taste could thrive.
Brandon Jacoby - Seeing Taste vs. Creating Taste as a designer
Q: What was it like designing at X and onboarding with the new leadership?
It was a revelation in how fast decisions could be made, contrasting with other big companies where progress can be slow; onboarding with Nikita exposed the internal logic and the 'brain' behind how things should work, which shaped an enduring appreciation for fast iteration and deep understanding of user flows.
Ian Silber - What it's like designing at OpenAI
Q: What are the guiding principles for when to use interface elements versus letting the model handle tasks?
There aren't rigid principles yet; decisions are guided by intuition and experimentation, balancing direct manipulation with model-driven interactions to keep the experience simple and effective.
