Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Relying on "taste" in product management introduces subjective biases rooted in cultural norms, often distracting from core goals like functionality, accessibility, and user value. A craft-based approach — focused on deliberate, inclusive, and ethical design choices — ensures that products are genuinely useful, equitable, and sustainable, rather than just aesthetically appealing or superficially impressive.
