Our designer @jordangeizer went looking for how design teams actually work with AI, not the demo reel version. The Atlassian finding alone is worth it. Sometimes less context beats more.

Nice breakdown from @benderham88 on what actually breaks when AI meets a design system it can't fully read.

AI code review: setup takes an hour. Working out who owns the judgement takes a blog post.

Software spent 70 years designing for a "median user" who doesn't exist.
@ronaldaveling on why that constraint may be softening and what design systems, headless content, and AI agents change about it 👇
In the 1950s the US Air Force measured thousands of pilots and found not one was average across 10 dimensions. The "average man" didn't exist. Software spent 70 years designing for him anyway...

AI let mid-level engineers ship what used to need a senior. The productivity was real.
The cost showed up later: code that worked but nobody fully understood, reviews that drifted into skimming, dependencies added because they were easy to generate.
@jeprisk on what the speed boost actually costs, and how teams stay sharp from here.

Cross-disciplinarity isn’t new. @ronaldaveling on what the AI in Design 2026 "Frankenjob" framing missed:
“Frankenjob” is an cool POV on the AI in Design 2026 report.
But it overlooks the fact that teams like @thethinkmill have been doing the cross-disciplinary dance for years. AI didn’t create the practice; but it sure made it visible at scale.

AusCycling had a growing network of websites and a patchwork of tools to manage them. We built a multi-site CMS and token-powered theming system so editors can launch new branded sites in minutes.
Shipped in time for the Olympics 🥇

Government services have to work for everyone. Accessible, secure, and built to last beyond the team that ships them.
We've been doing that work with agencies like DFAT, DAFF, ASIC, and the Queensland Government.
We've now given it a page 👇

At Thinkmill, design is a conversation between multiple practices, not something that “designers” do, and others wait to build.
It encompasses everything that contributes to a positive user experience outcome.

CI pipelines tend to slow down as teams scale, especially in monorepos.
In this piece @dpandiyan shares a CI pattern shaped by one of our key principles for sustainable software development: build once, consume everywhere.

Features don't exist in isolation. Users experience them as part of a journey.
User Journey Mapping helps us understand what users are doing, thinking, and feeling as they move through a product.
