• How I AI: Thariq Shihipar on Replacing Markdown with HTML for AI-Powered Development

Summary#

Host of the "How I AI" interview series, published on ChatPRD (chatprd.ai), in which practitioners walk through their concrete AI workflows. She interviewed Thariq Shihipar for the episode that produced the HTML as the New Markdown and Compute Allocator material in this wiki. Personal site clairevo.com; on X as @clairevo.

She is not a passive interviewer here — she contributes a parallel practice of her own, which is why she earns an entity page rather than a byline.

Her own practice (per the interview)#

Claire reports building a component-visualization page similar to Thariq's Living Design System: a single page showing all of an app's components in their various states. Her stated motivation is organizational rather than technical — it lets marketers and other non-technical stakeholders who need high-fidelity mockups for decks or videos "go to a single page… and get exactly what they need without bugging an engineer." This is the same engineering↔rest-of-company bridge that the Living Design System and HTML as the New Markdown workflows claim as their payoff, reported independently by the interviewer.
