This resonates so much. I remember Anu Atluru wrong Taste is eating the world last year: https://www.workingtheorys.com/p/taste-is-eating-silicon-valley
Modern work practices, code libraries, and design systems have defined a lot of boundaries in our work in the name of standardization but it has crippled the experimentation skills. Taste might be opinionated but it is the basic unit to help us build our judgment—so important in digital products.

After I read this post, I shared it with three of my friends—a QA engineer in IBM, a carpenter, and a Chemistry professional in a European university. All of them have some tech background, and my discussions with all three of them were totally different with absolutely no intersection or common traces.
Later I invited all of them in a group call and and after a brief introduction, they had a very strong tendency to associate the post takeaways to their specific domain. I guess, the universality and the multi-dimensionality is generally missing in the community discussions, even in Slack communities on the application or impact of AI on our work and in our life, in general.
