Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The debate around designing with code overlooks a deeper concern: as tools and AI evolve, the risk is devaluing designers' core contribution of defining problems, intent, and vision. Design is presented as a non-linear practice where conceptual thinking must come before execution, regardless of medium, or else products risk becoming efficient to build but poorly considered.
