At the moment a lot of emphasis is being placed on visual design and pixel perfection even when the value on this investment is not great.  
  
 So those kind of things can be pushed off to AI. Skill will be evaluated on solutioning, thought process, communication, and the ability to use AI to deliver better results.

Product Designer

True problem solvers will survive. They actually will thrive in this AI world. It’s going to be tough for rest of the folks. Applies to designers, engineers and PMs as well

Product Manager

What is the future of designers? I’m just very curious as I can see design itself can now be done by AI

Much of the design challenges are solved in the current 2D interfaces (Mobile/Web). Also maybe Figma will build an AI tool (leveraging all the design files they have with them) that can design stuff effectively. I think designers need to do a hard re-think on the 'creative' aspect of their job - deep inside it's just patterns and it's variations mostly. Will we need this much designers moving forward? Is Product design as a career past its glory days?

Product design as a career is going to end?

Implementation

Field is saturated and you will seriously struggle to find work. Not gate keeping, just laying out the reality. If you're up for the challenge then good, if not then you should look at some other fields.

Product design is kind of weird now and is tougher than you think. It is no more a creative field where you can come up with unique ideas or have fun creating stuff. It is intoxicating, tedious and requires constant fighting with the stakeholders, listening to your micro managers and implementing stuff they "ordered" you to do disguised as feedback. Did I say, it is mostly copy work nowadays and portraying it as a whole new feature/design that is unique to your org/team?

It’s 1% creativity, 99% stroking the ego of your managers and bosses just so you don't get laid off.

How many of you are using it in your company?

Are design systems overrated?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Talking to my nephew nowadays seems like the AI bug has gotten to him. Even going back during the early parts of my own career and even undergrad, ML and stats was still a fledgling field. Most of the smart folks went into SDE roles at top tech.

I still remember that even back then, hiring for roles like these were extremely theoretical. You would test even experienced candidates with undergrad topics which was slightly outdated tbh because most of the functions were abstracted away and it is obvious that you would not remember the matrix approach to finding weights for a simple linear regression model.

Has this changed now? Because I don't think interviews like that actually evaluate the accumulated wisdom that experienced professionals bring to the table.

I mean it is generally a waste of time for anyone to brush up manual derivations or remember SQL niche intricacies. Usually it is better to test for the 80% knowledge that is actually useful on a day to day basis. I mean if the main things that companies test in experienced candidates is something that can be rote-memorized from a book then they are not testing the right things no?

What do you all think? Just wondering about this for some time now especially considering the hype around AI?

Is Data Science a bad bet for your career longevity?

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

After watching MKBHD video this is what i feel 
The video editing companies i.e. vfx companies can have recession along with UI / UX designers .

And they say , AI will take your job

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it

A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup 
I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that.

Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI.

Look forward to all questions :)

Data Scientist

I want to move out of architecture - the work is stressful, long hours, not enough pay and the only ways to earn more and get growth is to go into construction and real estate which I'm not fond of. Is moving into design field in other sectors good? in terms of work life, pay and job market?

is ux design or product design worth moving into?

Had a chat with a senior PM today on the need of the PM function with Ai getting smarter. 

Engineers build, designers design, data people analyse things, and a business person has the mind to make money by leveraging the team. When a point arrives where Ai does all the IC part of Engineering, Design and Data, there won't be a requirement of PM function at all! 

Creativity, Empathy, Product thinking, all these skills will be owned by Engineers, Designers, Data  and Business leaders. These skills like "product sense" are something that won't hold the fort much longer because eventually all good engineers, designers and data people will have to develop the customer empathy and product sense to prompt the Ai and do their individual job better.


IMHO it is a high time that all PMs work to strengthen at least one hard skill to keep themselves employable. 


While I am writing this post, unfortunately I am also the one who is seeking a PM role right now. 

Any suggestions or thoughts you have on which hard skill to master and how to remain employable?

PM function is 💀. Change my mind.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

How important it is to upgrade technical skills for a mid level engineers with 5-8 yoe keeping in mind the AI is on rise. 
3 options: 
1. It’s important to include AI in your skills.
2. No, it won’t impact that much and will fade with time.
3. Better to start slowly with AI and have secondary skills.

Future of Mid Level Engineers with AI in scope

Software Developer

How many designers are working as designers after 45? Is it possible to survive in the industry after 40s? If yes, what are some strategies to survive in the market? Asking this for one of my friends, who is now 42 and is working as a leadership position.
