Small teams got dangerous
Obsidian is a $350M company with 7 employees. No VC, no meetings, no middle layer. AI is turning that from an anomaly into a template.

Figma is a sketchpad now
I have been designing products for twenty years. The way I work has completely changed, and I am seeing other designers and teams adapt the same way.

Just Build the Thing
Discovery phases are expensive guesswork. Shipping something real is faster, cheaper, and tells you more.

A Forming Idea
The idea that became mx.works. Why now, and why this model.
