After 20+ years using design tools—from Visio and PowerPoint to Sketch and Figma—Nick is making a radical shift.
His reason? Code-native tools are closer to the truth than abstraction.
"I would rather train design patterns in code than push and pull and draw in design tools."
With generative AI, designers can now figure out what a code representation should look like and work directly with it—skipping the abstraction layer entirely.
Is this the end of traditional design tools? 🤯
