Taste determines what it looks like Skills determines how it works Neither is more important than the other Without taste, nothing feels good Without skill, nothing works

Claire Silver, an AI artist, has a great thesis: taste is the new skill I did an interview with her last year that I've been told is good https://www.culture3.com/posts/claire-silver-on-why-taste-is-the-new-skill-and-the-future-of-ai-driven-culture

The framing doesn’t resonate tbh. Skills beget tastes beget skills beget tastes, etc. It’s all in pursuit of quality and values Taste is an infinite game, skills a finite one. But they’re part of the same process. Taste is the underlying form that guides the function of skills in a dynamic values process

disagree, taste is subjective and can be influenced easily unless there's a deep understanding of the context

Agree 1000%. So many excellent devs out there release things that look like straight up BUTT and the UX is trash. DX tends to be phenomenal. This is why most VCs like YC don't back solo founders (unless they're a friend of a friend or something).

agree ... (actually, strong agree) I do think, however, taste (as in. "good taste") always has been a rare thing. Certainly "taste" crossed with solid design chops. Is it less "these days"? Perhaps just a lot more mid "stuff" in the (🧠) space making noise(??)

How are we defining taste? My attempt: the ability to create or recognize the things that other influencers (taste makers) will appreciate.

depends. pg's thing about IQ vs hustle kinda applies- a person with high hustle and low IQ will probably still be rich (owns a bunch of gas stations or something). low hustle and high IQ will just be some bitter guy. but with taste- i think one crazy guy with good taste is more likely to push humanity forward

I can’t tell what the frame of reference is here (I’m guessing UX or creativity-related occupations?), so as far as this broad generalization goes, I have to disagree. In at least my and my clients’ line of work, skills matter, taste doesn’t (beyond dressing properly for the job).
