Hey, it’s Kushagra. Welcome to this week’s AtlasMoth drop.

Roman Pichler spun a 15-second prototype that beat a 15-page doc.

AI makes that easy. Drafts come fast. But taste makes them land.

This week, we’re digging into why fast prototypes & sharp taste beat long documents every time.

Roman Pichler leans over to the dev lead:
“Yo, does your team have space for one small gig?”

The dev lead shrugs. Roadmap’s jammed, sprint’s full, engineers already running on fumes. Another request feels impossible.

PM doesn’t flinch. Instead of dropping a 15-page PRD or scheduling another “quick sync,” she slides a link across Slack.

A v0 prototype. Hacked together over the weekend. Not clean. Not polished. But it spoke.

The dev clicks. Fifteen seconds in, he gets it. No extra calls. No wordy decks. Just a quick demo that showed the spark.

It was pure Matrix. Neo learns kung fu in a flash.

And that’s when it clicked for him: AI makes it so anyone can turn an idea into a working product. No wait for the “pros.” No gate. If you can think it, you can spin it up.

He’s seen it in design, too. Spot a bug, file a Jira, watch it rot in the backlog? Dead. Now? AI lets you just fix the damn thing. Same way, his PM spun her prototype with no “design cred.”

Flat world, new roles.

Old lines blur. PM’s prototype. Engineers design. Design heads ship small code. EPD is one stew now.

“Spec work is for bugs,” some guy once said. He feels that. Early project steps from a blank page to something are now shared.

For him? Next stop is code. Not deep-end, but enough. Squash small bugs. Toss in that sick anim that missed sprint. Hack light feats when eng slots are packed.

The first idea was a playful loading screen. But Perplexity saw more value in revealing the real work happening under the hood.

Type in the plan Tokyo trip and watch as the system expands your request into five fresh searches. That first reveal builds trust.

They call this the “stack of wows”:

• First wow: it clearly understands you.

• Second wow: it finds the right sources faster than you could.

• Third wow: it asks smart, expert-level follow-up questions.

But here’s the rub.

AI drafts are fast. But raw. It’s like a wild intern: hype, quick, dumb. It can’t tell what’s gold and what’s trash. That’s where taste lands.

Craft. Core. Feel. That’s still on us.

Like his PM’s prototype. She blushes: “But I’m not a designer…”
He grins: “That’s cool. Keep at it. We’ll jump in, steer, polish, make it sing.”

And guess what? The gig’s live. No wait. No stall. That’s “do more with less” in AI times.

One last bit.

For him, AI made code fun again.
He’s got front-end chops, sure. But he hated the grind:
Digging in fat codebases.
Chasing the right file.
Same edit, line by line.

Now AI eats that.
And he? He just does the fun part: seeing his design come to life in a live browser.
