STOP SAYING YOU'RE AI-NATIVE: START SHOWING IT

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Being AI-native requires hands-on experimentation with AI tools rather than just designing AI interfaces. True AI-native professionals build personal tools, push AI systems to their limits, and develop strong opinions through constant use of various models and platforms. Hire designers who demonstrate genuine AI fluency through personal projects, documented failures, and in-depth toolchain knowledge, rather than theoretical experience.
