Why this topic matters

AI has made it easier than ever to build and ship products quickly, but speed alone doesn’t create great products. As more teams rely on vibe coding, many products are being built without enough thought around the actual user experience, clarity, and flow. This lesson explores why intentional design and usability still matter in the AI era and what separates a successful product from a flop.
