My next and eighth book is about teaching basic design literacy to just about anyone. It’s a book you can give to a coworker, your boss or your neighbor that will show them how to see the world more like designers do and how that lens can help them understand and engage with the world. .

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.
