Why taste matters in an agent world

This is our full interview with Dylan Field, recorded live on TBPN.

We discuss Figma’s growth, the rise of Figma Make,  the shift from linear coding to a visual-first product loop, why taste becomes the real moat in an agent-driven world,  and why design is the ultimate differentiator in 2026.
