InVision shutting down is another reminder for designers — slow down on your obsession with tools.

Eventually, they are all being replaced (Axure -> InVision -> Figma -> ?) and your tool-specific knowledge go to 0 (the principles stay though).

In fact, tooling and competence will inflate faster and faster in the age of AI.

The AI-proof skills that will always have value are: being high agency (the ability to act independently and do it proactively) and trustworthiness.

To build and maintain trust follow these 3 steps by Daniel Rizea:

1. Say what you want to do
2. Do it
3. Show that you have done it

Do it over and over again and no amount of Figma tricks can beat that.
