Design— Adam walks us through the forest of design thinking, from web aesthetics to optimization hell, and how stepping away from the screen might save us from designing the same thing as everyone else. Are we moving towards a future with fewer apps and more voice interfaces? fresh from Figma dinners and deep thoughts about Teenage Engineering's playful approach versus Duolingo's 1000-experiment optimization maze. Last but not least, we're exploring the intimate art of designing apps for your friends instead of chasing that elusive billion-user dream. Oh, stay tuned from Erics journey into SF and Los Angeles and his latest updates on the cracked developers of the Bay area.
