Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Taste is your Moat (Dylan Field of Figma) · 2 Oct 2025 podcast

And the next day he followed up with like this super long doc.

I mean, it was eight to ten pages, and it laid out basically a lot of what ended up being our roadmap.

Not like we literally follow the doc, but I look back and compare contrast, and yeah, he's an example of

someone who was a visionary user.

And for a person like that, there's a lot of people that will give you more local feedback.

But some people can see the big vision too.

And that's always really exciting because it's validation for you and the team about where you should go, but also a source of new ideas and

Early should recruit so hard.

So first of all, just don't give up.

Uh second piece of advice is just think long term.

You know, there are folks that I talk with in the first year or two of Figma and they didn't join until like year five, year six.

how eventually it it turns into something that could be they join the company or actually just they're a friend outside the company, but someone that inspires you and that's great too.
