living in sf is wild. you can casually sit in on a fireside chat and meet your heroine on a thu afternoon @joulee’s the making of a manager was literally my textbook when i was first stepping into design management years ago so many great insights from the fireside chat between julie and @soleio, but these 3 resonated with me most: - growth = repeated beginnerhood. feeling like an imposter is the price of admission to the next level - co-founders > ideas. shared values and conflict habits matter more than the problem space - hire for adaptability and ego detachment. look for people who can unlearn and rebuild fast i also got to ask julie how she’d prepare design teams for the age of ai if she was running a design org like me and she said: - don’t get hung up on role boundaries. ai takes care of the mechanical parts, so designers can focus on the magic(experience) again - stay experimental. the 'best' tool changes weekly so what matters is curiosity, sharing what works, and learning fast as a team Julie, if you are seeing this, i forgot to tell you my name bc i was so nervous to speak to you😭 I’m Min btw
