Intentions and Enabling curation and mindful decisions
Hey forces me to make choices rather than encourage me to avoid them
But I am looking now for software that insists I make choices rather than whispers that none are needed.

The match was part of Build Wars, a 45-minute challenge hosted by Tommy Geoco, Hunter Hammonds, and guest judge Tom Johnson. The contenders? Brett Williams from DesignJoy using Webflow vs. Henrik Westerlund using Lovable.
I think it points to some really interesting shifts in the future of design.
One of the first striking things to me about this match is each player’s pace. If I had to graph it, it’d look like this:

When technology changes, the bottom always drops out.

Many of the planned innovations in AI seem to promise an even speedier generation process with higher quality results. But maybe what we need is a slower generation process, with room to ruminate and let ideas collide on their own. It takes me 2 days to draw 100 logos and 2 minutes for Midjourney. I used to think it was the “100 logos” part that was crucial, but lately I’m entertaining the idea that it might be “2 days” part that’s the secret ingredient instead.
Meanwhile, even as generative AI has rapidly affected Kim Van Deun’s livelihood, she says she has never once regretted pursuing art as a career. This is what art does to us. Whether we make it or become its patron, it gives us a way to envision a different kind of world, a new way of expression. It gives us hope.
