One Designer, No Dev Team: Building and Shipping with AI

This is not a vibe coding talk. Ted Potter, Senior Product Designer, wrote specs that read like a brief crossed with a backlog (user stories, acceptance criteria, an out-of-scope list) for Claude Code and Codex, then iterated on the running product instead of on mockups. He'll walk through the workflow, where design judgment still carries the whole job, what a designer has to understand to ship without reading every line, and the incidents where the system slipped past the spec.

Match Moth is a live job search app. Built by one designer with no engineering team and no Figma design screens. Match moth is currently free in open beta. Signing up for Match Moth now will grant you founder status with lifetime 20% discount and another 20% off (total 40% off) for completing some surveys during the beta.

Then you get to break it. We'll pair up for short rounds: one person runs Match Moth's onboarding on their own resume, the other watches and takes notes. Your feedback goes into the next build.
