WE'RE SO BACK, WHY EVERYONE IS SUDDENLY SO THIRSTY FOR DESIGNERS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The design world is swinging back to taste-driven, design-led products, sparked by Jony Ive's talk and Airbnb's skeuomorphic redesign. This shift pushes back against metrics-first development in favor of products with soul and care. Designers welcome the return of conviction-based design, though it's unclear if taste guarantees business success. Still, Y Combinator's push for designer-founders signals design's growing edge as code becomes commoditized.
