I sat down with Tom Scott recently to talk about a wide range of topics about how we design at @Superhuman (formerly Grammarly).
We touched on hiring, how roles are shifting and how AI is still continuing to change everything.

ChatGPT is creating an alternative to traditional search. Google is struggling to balance their desire to innovate and while not destroying their existing business.
- Thread about icons. With Google's new icon strategy, they seem to have moved away from a family-approach to a company-approach. Previously there was a Google style, but families differentiated by shape & colour. Family style is great, but I guess hard to scale to 100s of apps.
