AI isn’t taking your seat at the table—it’s just making you switch chairs.

In this episode Nolan & Andy ask the big one: If AI can crank out a full UI in 30 seconds, what on earth do human designers do for the next 7 hours 59 minutes? Spoiler: it’s less “learn to code” and more “learn to prompt, persuade and pivot.”

???? What we cover
Why soft skills just got harder – constant self-advocacy is now the strongest professional moat

Prompt-first workflows – good design is turning into good copywriting; specific, iterative prompts beat pixel-pushing

Blended roles & shrinking teams – PMs, engineers and designers are converging into one scrappy product squad where titles matter less than outcomes

The future of the hand-off – Figma’s Make, Cursor-driven code edits and what that means for dev-designer boundaries

Keeping your edge – curiosity beats complacency; the designers who keep tinkering with new tools stay ahead
