I published a new article on my Substack (substack.com/@bradthomasd...) about what a Product Manager’s job will be like working with #AI in the future. It takes a look at the skills that will be needed and how a PM’s role will shift while using AI as a collaborative partner.

Around 2019 or so I wrote a book about the design process. Almost immediately I started thinking about how that would evolve with AI.
So, I decided to write another book. It's now available for free on my website.
Here's a look at the journey from book 1 to book 2.

I've seen some other #design and #branding people talking about how Cracker Barrel missed the mark with their new logo design; more specifically, that they weren't listening to their customers.
I couldn't disagree more.
I think they precisely hit the mark.
