Kyle Lambert argues that AI requires a shift from 'Responsive Web Design' to 'Malleable Design,' where users personalize their own software layouts and dashboards.
What: Lambert suggests that instead of building fixed, one-size-fits-all UI for every user, developers should provide a 'base' component architecture that users can manipulate to fit their specific workflows.
Why it matters: This challenges the industry standard of shipping static interfaces and suggests a future where software is as customizable as a user's local workspace.
