Design polish that is maintained and improved over time is an indicator of craftmanship and care. Color modes is an indicator of healthy design token infrastructure. Consider how this might improve with that in mind? Maybe the text would be more legible as a text color token?

I think about this all the time. I wonder if AI will actually cause us to rubber band back into valuing craft over output and result in some novel output. I find myself more interested in using AI to get closer to the hardware instead of "getting things done" in high level languages.

I think about this a lot. I'm currently pursuing a masters and AI has caused somewhat of an existential crisis for it. If academic credentials were meant to serve as a universal benchmark of competency, that purpose has been fundamentally challenged.
