What stands between them and that is the current crop of AI design tools and skills. lovable, emergent, frontend-design, Impeccable. They ship someone else's taste and hand you a 95% website. Good website, not your website.

These tools are nozzles. They shape the flow before it leaves your hand. If you want creativity unchecked, use the raw tool.

cat-whisperer··on Simple Is Not Small

It's a nice dissection of the topic. But I would like to reframe it as "Simple Is Not 'Always' Small."

I would agree, but I recently read https://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html which is quite interesting in it's own right.
