Ask HN: How would you build a dev/design agency in 2025 alongside AI? (ycombinator.com)
I’m a developer and have worked remotely for 3-4 years with various product based companies like rabbithole.gg, paragraph.xyz, pimlico.io etc and for the past few months I’ve been working on a side-project of my own, it’s an open-source form builder platform like Typeform. Through my journey, I've discovered I really enjoy the craft of building products & open source softwares. It got me thinking about starting a small dev/design agency, but with a different approach.

What enabled us to create AI is the thing it has the power to erase (chrbutler.com)
I still have dozens of sketchbooks, many filled with ideas for logos, layouts, and other designs. These pages don’t just capture fully realized images, albeit sketches. They capture an entire process of thinking –the false starts, the unexpected discoveries, the gradual, iterative refinement of ideas. Today, those same explorations can, if you choose, be reduced to a single prompt: “Generate a minimal, modern wordmark for a SaaS product called _____.”
