DESIGN ISN'T DYING. IT'S SHIFTING LEFT

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

As AI reshapes product development, design is "shifting left" — moving deeper into the technology stack, now reaching into the model layer itself. In model-forward systems, the output is the experience, demanding behavioral design tailored to individual users rather than predictable interface patterns. The core principle remains unchanged: understanding people deeply so the systems built around them actually work for them.
