:pushpin: What’s happening: Figma CEO Dylan Field says AI is erasing the hard borders between design, product, dev, and even research—making “generalist behavior” not just viable but valuable. The talk comes on the heels of Figma’s IPO pop and echoes Marc Andreessen and Vinod Khosla’s advice: don’t marry a profession, marry adaptability.
:brain: How this hits reality: AI flattens workflows—what used to be a relay race between siloed roles is now a shared Figma file with AI auto-filling the gaps. Specialists still matter, but the moat shifts to those who can span the stack, curate across domains, and lead multidisciplinary teams. The org chart? Less ladder, more web.
:bellhop_bell: Key takeaway: In the AI era, your niche skill is safe—until a generalist with good taste and a GPT tab open takes your lunch.
