I can't believe I'm saying this but I wrote a piece on AI. 🤖 I'm as tired as you are of the endless stream of useless AI solutions (do I really need that smart water bottle?) and buzzword-compliant articles. Yet here I am, because for every product bogged down by unnecessary AI features, there are many that could be improved with it. In my text, I analyse a 2021 project I worked on, reflecting on why I wish I had used an AI solution in it. It's a product-focused article, light on the tech side, so I hope it makes for an fun read for both technical and non-technical readers! https://lnkd.in/digTNcCQ

At 8th Light, ambiguity is the gray area where breakthrough ideas are born. Our human-centered design approach is built on three pillars: - Viability: Define clear business objectives to stay focused. - Feasibility: Embrace experimentation to test and learn quickly. - Desirability: Let user feedback guide you to solutions that truly resonate. This framework transforms uncertainty into actionable insights, driving both user satisfaction and business success. https://hubs.la/Q03dpq8W0

💻 The Vibe Shift in Software Is Real We're moving beyond syntax and into an era where intent and collaboration define great engineering. In my latest post, I map the evolution of AI-assisted coding—from pinpoint completions (Copilot-style) to full-blown "vibe coding" where your natural language becomes your superpower. This isn’t just a tool upgrade. It’s a fundamental shift in how we build. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gbdxa7_M #AI #VibeCoding #FutureOfWork #8thLight
