In this episode of the ASNC podcast, Ryo Lu, Head of Design at Cursor, and Jennifer Li discuss the evolution of design and coding in the age of AI. Ryo shares his journey and insights on how AI tools like Cursor are transforming software development by unifying different roles and workflows, traditionally fragmented. The conversation explores how AI can democratize design, making it more accessible, and how it impacts collaboration among teams. They delve into the concept of "taste" in AI-assisted design, emphasizing the importance of human input and the role of designers in defining what is good and beautiful. Ryo advocates for a shift towards simpler, more universal tools that empower individuals and teams to build software more holistically, rather than being confined by specialized applications. The discussion also touches on the balance between user-centric design and system-oriented thinking, and Ryo shares his personal practices for cultivating inspiration and creativity.
