Your conversation with AI is not the same as your conversation with a lawyer, but I think that any place where you're going to consult an expert but can come in more informed, that is interesting.

03 / belief

A lot of the people I've hired as leaders I've learned so much from. But outside of that zero to one, where I just had a lot to understand about how to manage folks, I think on the leadership side, it's the same lessons over and over again.

More PMs and developers and researchers also need to be willing to engage with design as well. Because I think at the end of the day, that's going to be how you win or lose, and if you don't internalize that now you're going to regret it later.

There are I think a lot of people who when you put them on the thing that they are super interested and fired up about will outperform your wildest imagination of what's possible.

We're hiring for most roles, but I would say, first of all, if you love hard problems and if you are really interested in how to make, if you're a user of Figma and you're thinking yourself, "Man, they could do so much better.

The best PMs, I think again, create those frameworks that bring everyone else along and those frameworks also have a point of view and a strategy associated with them.

Shishir is amazing by the way, and has been a mentor for a long time to me and many people on our team. And he, I think, at the time did not know he was the first customer.

16 / belief

Sometimes people are saying, "Hey, I need X", but they really want Y or Z. And trying to do that myself and engage and dive deeper there, but also to encourage our team to do that, I think leads to really good outcomes in terms of what we ship.
