Dylan misread my tweet about the impact of AI and design.
Or I didn't write it clearly enough.
Or a little bit of both.
However, anytime there's a miscommunication like this, I double click on it because it means something important might be happening.
The important thing that is happening in design is that incredible tools like Figma and Loveable are going to create a massive opportunity for designers and non-designers to make better designed Products more efficiently
Given that, I checked out the Figma stock, which I feel is mispriced, and I placed a bet 😂
One of the great things that happens when people debate important topics is that you find ways to place a bet on the future.
I think betting on Dylan is a winning bet!
This is not financial advice.
But I'm good at placing bets.
It's not financial advice! 😂😂😂😂
