Surprised this is your take coming from a UX designer. You think a straight path for every user to add their feature ideas results in a good UX?

edit: reading further into this, the idea is perhaps that users vibe-code their own distinct UX with everything valuable to them. That's not a bad take, but even in that world, I wouldn't think UX and product disciplines become exposed for having no value at all.

My take in this (ironic) comment was just "no feature is free", which I don't think should be odd coming from a UX designer!

I do find this interesting. I work on a complex business operations and reporting platform and every facility has their own lil quirks. More control in their hands would let them smooth out their workflows while still relying on the foundational work our platform does.

Ah, I didn't register the sarcasm. Typical HN, it's probably why you're downvoted.

Yes, today's HN session has me nerd-sniped about what the future of product development looks like. I've been thinking how mock-to-prototype is just too slow when engineers can ship so much so fast. Eng needs design direction especially when it's too easy to "solve design" with tailwind components and "You're a designer from a top saas company" prompts.

But what if the new UX is less visual-first and more IA, primitives and well structured object models... now that has me thinking.
