Yes and the best or worst depends in part on us too, especially our Governments! While AI would most likely eat more jobs than it would create but it will definitely take industrial and commercial output to the next level.

Don't try to solve everything, find the most crucial part of the problem. And design the solution so that you can launch quick say in 30 days. 4. Test with users, iterate and improve the...

Yes, I almost use ChatGPT daily for finding answers. I guess once Microsoft releases co-pilot for office 365. Almost everyone will use AI very frequently!

Verbal feedback is very crucial for developing a product that's useful and intuitive for the user. But while taking the feedback, it's important to sticking to understanding the pain-points of the users. Asking for users for feature recommendations is not a good idea because users always don't know what they want. They may just get creative while recommending features. But they do understand...

Take a stack of card boards and design one screen/page on one card board and so on. 3. Now make...

As per me, it should be combination of the following: 1. Executor mindset : A person who is more into execution less in planning. 2. Resilient mindset : When you start something, it's very bumpy ride. One day you will feel excited and the next you will feel depressed. On the top of that, you might have to deal with such emotions in isolation. A resilient mindset keeps one going. 3. Empathetic...
