The AI-Knowledge-Gap, Google Stitch, and Claude’s Design Push

Doom and Quinns discuss the widening gap between people who use AI daily and everyone else, describing the pace of new tools as a “fire hose.” They share hands-on experiences with Google Stitch for fast UI prototyping (including use with kids), and react to Anthropic’s new design-related Claude release and the timing of a CPO stepping off Figma’s board. They compare design and web-building workflows (Figma, Claude Canvas/Code, Paper Design, shadcn, Tailark, Framer, WordPress), and talk about using AI to generate landing pages, AB tests, and even a fantasy-football learning site. The conversation covers token anxiety, agent permissions and governance, the difficulty of code review at AI-generated velocity, SaaS pricing pressure, big-company AI spend, VC funding trends, and uncertainty about where to place product and career bets.
