PRODUCT QUALITY: A SHARED COMMITMENT TO CRAFT IN THE WAKE OF AI

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

As AI collapses the gap between "nothing" and "adequate," genuine craft becomes the only remaining differentiator between products. Craft is a shared discipline across Utility, Usability, and Feel—owned collectively by engineers, PMs, designers, and leaders, not design alone. "Would I recommend this to someone I care about?" should be the standard for judging whether a product has truly earned people's affection, not just their approval.
