反共识 · Contrarian takes
设计团队应让前端工程师轮岗到设计团队，以建立共同直觉。 Design teams should embed frontend engineers in design rotations to build shared intuition.
Runway 没有产品路线图，而是采用研究探索领域。 Runway has no product roadmap; instead it uses research areas of exploration.
构建 AI 产品如同雕刻，而非遵循预定计划。 Building AI products is like carving a sculpture, not following a predefined plan.
设计师不应专精于某一领域，而应在产品各方面轮换。 Designers should not specialize; they should rotate across all aspects of the product.
最好的故事尚未被讲述，AI 工具将解锁它们。 The best stories have not been told yet, and AI tools will unlock them.
