Design has shifted from control to stewardship (Q&A)

[Bryan]

Thank you for doing a deep dive in your article @sean_savage. It was insightful and helpful to get a broader perspective on your ideas… these are exciting times. We’ll keep the thread open for others to jump in and ask questions. The stage is ready for open mic.

@sean_savage thanks for your time and thoughtful responses! There’s pure, practical gold in this conversation.

When you discover a pothole or speedbump you ask the stage manager question: is this a props problem, a stage problem, or a rules problem? That diagnosis tells you where to focus.

This analogy as a framework of understanding is incredibly helpful. I’m curious if you’ve found it aligns more closely to some AI products more than others? Does this apply equally to general LLMs and agents?

Does this apply equally to general LLMs and agents?

Also curious about this @sean_savage, especially given the rise of agents. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the implications of an agent world inside design.
