Ancient rock art may convey a valuable but imprecise message that could someday be understoodTheir words
Nonetheless, ancient rock art is precious, because it may convey a not-so-detailed message that would nonetheless be amazing to understand, if someday we can.

While I really like prototypes, because you can convey ideas easier by interacting with the real thing, it’s also important to know when not to do them. Prototypes have this flaw that because everything is already built, and it looks so real, people might assume that all the decisions have already been made. That’s because the building step was the most expensive before AI, but it’s not anymore. So sometimes, it’s better to ask the why first. Why are we making this in the first place? Allow yourself to be slow, write a doc with your reasoning, and only after you are aligned, start prototyping…

For years, it was faster to mock up software than to ship it. Designers stayed "ahead" of engineering with prototypes. Now AI coding agents make development so much faster that the loop has flipped.

right now, that whole front end has been like kind of smooshed because many times we can just like prototype really really rapidly and kind of solidify some of what we're thinking in terms of like ideas and coding. So I fully expect that part of the outer loop is just going to be collapsed as well, right?

There’s just no way we could have shipped this if we started with static mocks and Figma or if we started with a PRD.

PMs are no longer saying to the designer, hey, can you draw this thing out for me? That frees up designer time to go explore more deeply the stuff they need to go into and it allows anyone to kind of add to that first conversation of where should we go and look further and wider and broader at the option space.

In a product review a prototype beats a static mock, and a static mock beats a lot of words.Their words
at least my product reviews and uh product conversations, I feel like prototypes beat static mocks and static mocks beat lots of words.

I would say though that something that is kind of annoying to me is that we haven't yet figured out the bridging from the tinkering to the workflow quite as seamlessly as I would like.

Say goodbye to cycles of mock and doc feedback, and say hello to code-first prototypes with constant iteration (on prompts, models, etc) to answer three key questions.

Building a secure, performant GraphQL API is tricky and adds real cost during early-stage app prototyping.Their words
While we love GraphQL for many use cases, implementing a secure and performant GraphQL API can be tricky and there is a definite cost to requiring it during early prototyping of your app.

I see lots of hype about eVTOLs being on the verge of being big, but I can’t find any videos of prototypes doing what the hype says will be common place by 2025.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
