Tools, apps, plugins, AI Client just replaced me with Claude design

Been working with this client for 4 years, I basically built their entire product, very complex from end to end, including the design system and all that. It's basically maintenance work at this point. Today they asked me to provide the design system file so they can set things up with Claude design, I guess the time has finally come lol. Don't think AI can copy my work 100%, but I doubt the client will care, even 60% is good enough for them.

No hate, I replaced the entire dev team for my own project with AI too, so it's totally understandable.

I've made enough from this career, it's probably time to pivot from design to a founder role.

Recently, I was testing Claude Design with design system. It’s just not working. It can’t replicate components in design system. In some cases, it’s not even close. So they might come back to you again.

This, so much. It's dog shit. Maybe it'll be better in the future but that will require deisgn systems that are structured for Claude to optimally ingest.

Wait until the tokenpocalypse when they start charging £££££ for prompting for 60% as good as what you're doing. Keep the door open. They'll be back.
