And I think that AI is a great tool that exists within our toolkit to help us experiment and learn.

potentially faster sometimes.

Sometimes it's also slower.

So I do want to also call out, like sometimes I've just given up and just like, you know, made a prototype the traditional way because it actually is faster than like rewriting the prompt like seven times and be like, this is still wrong.

Like, I feel like I'm like, I got the robots, you know, head in my hand and I'm just like, look at it.

It's wrong.

And so, um,

I don't know.

I think it's like helpful and I always encourage people, especially staff and above designers.

We need to be at the forefront, like learning how to incorporate these tools into our toolkit and modeling what good design looks like and what good process looks like for other designers.

But to me, it's just like auto layout.

Like when auto layout came out, I was like, all right, I got to figure out how to use this one.

You know, like they're the same to me.

Gosh.

Yeah.

I mean, it was a really cool experience getting to spend the past year and change, you know, reflecting on 16 years of my career and like,

speaking with so many incredible people as part of this process as well.

It's not just me blogging.

It is, in fact, I also interviewed almost 30 people, many designers who are individual contributors and a lot of people who manage them as well.
