The design piece is really surprising to me.
The fact that there's data show that the number of design roles is plateauing and just how teams are just not valuing design as much as you think.
Like you would think that design becomes much more important as the number of products grows exponentially, that it's like a way to stand out, to build something really beautiful and interesting.
and have a really thought-through experience.
And it's interesting that that's not happening right now.
Also, I've been thinking about, there's no world where I'm a great designer.
I can't just use AI and become a great designer.
Unlike an engineer, maybe a PM, I could become a much better PM with AI.
AI is knocking.
It will do some cool stuff, but I'm never going to feel like I am a great designer now.
So it's really interesting that design isn't more successful right now with the rise of AI.
What a wild time we are living through, Nikhil.
Holy, holy moly.
Chaos is a ladder, as the Littlefinger famously said.
Nikhil, is there anything that we haven't covered?
Anything else that you think is important for people to hear?
Any other advice?
Anything you want to double down on before we wrap up and get to our very exciting lightning round?
And just to be clear, you're seeing many people in the community doing well, enjoying this, thriving.
This is possible.
