AI might be the only tool you can learn to use by using it. The catch: you still need enough grounding to recognize a good answer when it gives you one. Something @RonBaranov said in our conversation that stuck with me.

AI tools augment raw talent. They don't replace it. The people doing the most interesting AI work right now are directors, cinematographers, designers, engineers — people who built real talent the old way, now using AI to do more of what they were already good at.

A film used to require a crew, a location, a budget, a calendar. Now it requires an espresso. Full conversation with Ron Baranov → youtu.be/OyVBbZm1Q8E?si…

A year ago Ron Baranov was a freelance filmmaker. Today he's an AI creator making AI films that don't feel like AI films. One line I'll be carrying with me: "I'm not an AI creator. I'm a creator." Full conversation → youtu.be/OyVBbZm1Q8E?si…

Most people I know are still standing on the platform watching the AI train pull out. I was one of them six months ago. @RonBaranov got on a year ago — not driven by hype, driven by honest fear. Figured out how to make it fun. Full conversation on Wednesday.

It also doesn't help that in most of the customer journey, the date is represented in numbers so it's really easy to not notice you made a mistake.

All because @KAYAK had a product designer who thought "People plan ahead so let's set the default date to next month". Yet as a user if I'm picking a date and I didn't explicitly click "next month" why would I assume I'm not in the context of the current month???

@KAYAK why is the date picker default when booking a flight one month in the future? I just booked for March instead Feb and lost $1000...

@ilyamiskov You shouldn’t ask for work in these conversations. People with the authority to spend company money that are working on hard things will eventually need smart people to help them. Just make yourself know and maintain these relationships.

@ilyamiskov 1. Open notion 2. Create a list of companies that are seed-searies A 3. Infer a list of execs that run those companies. 4. Figure out who can intro you 5. Get coffee or virtual coffee with these founders just to get to know each other. 6. Give a month or two

Earlier today, someone asked how our design and development process works at Figma. I don't know if this is interesting to anyone, but I ended up writing down our messy, unofficial process in perhaps too much boring detail. 1/n x.com/allisongrayce/…

Solve problems to create value. Don’t create value by inventing problems.

@madzadev Javascript uses floating-point math. @dan_abramov covers this in his JustJS course really nicely. It's like a printer that only sees 16MM colors and thus might be imprecise with specific degrees of the same shade.
