Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Why Netflix is betting on systems thinkers—not specialists—in the AI era | Elizabeth Stone (CPTO) · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

Can I hook into infrastructure with a lot of expertise?

The mindset now needs to be, I can learn that quickly.

And that goes back to the systems thinking.

So I think specialists can learn to have a broader array of tools more easily than was true in the past.

So it, we need fewer of them perhaps because talent's able to grow in that direction and

And there's something about sticking to a narrow specialty that maybe triggers for me a concern about what about the mindset of growing in different directions and exploring.

And I don't want to be too narrow even in my own assessment of that.

But it's important that people who are specialists still have that sense of I want to try a new way of solving these problems versus the way we have in the past.

Or it could be a domain set of knowledge of, yeah, I'm a deep... Like a payments expert.

I'm a payments expert.

I'm an ads marketplace design expert.

I am an expert in this very specific tooling that studio productions use.

So they're...

specialist and subject matter expertise is an advantage, provided that person is willing to grow and extend into, is this really still the right tool or the right way to think about the problem?

So I think it's the layers of the stack from an engineering perspective that there's less specialty and then

tools that are unlikely to be static or like to have a lot of inertia around them.

I would think like we would want people who are able to innovate and imagine like what's the future version of this.

And so we want more talent like that.

Small tricks.

Each problem you're trying to solve, step out one click to the like, what am I assuming is true about the broader space in solving this problem?
