OpenAI Codex: Revolutionizing Code or Ripping Off Developers?

The article explores the fundamental shift in UX as AI-first systems minimize the role of UI, rendering traditional design tools like Figma increasingly obsolete. https://webdesignernews.com/ai-is-flipping-ux-upside-down/

Building A Practical UX Strategy Framework

In my experience, most UX teams find themselves primarily implementing other people’s ideas rather than leading the conversation about user experience.
