NEW UXE II + PD II ROLES: If you're interested in working with me on where computational design is taking us in this new era of AI, there's four new roles now open on my team at Microsoft that are at the intersection of design and code: UXE II: https://lnkd.in/gysgXTE9 PRODUCT DESIGN II: https://lnkd.in/gz9HKzXD We're looking for folks early in their career who are either really good at code and facile with design OR really good at design and facile with code. Combo-platter creative tech people are super welcome and encouraged to apply! It's really an exciting time to be at the intersection of code and design. I guess only folks from my generation know this analogy, but it's like the Donnie & Marie show of being "a lil' bit country, and a little bit of rock 'n roll" :-). Said differently, it's about being a hybrid -- which was the theme of my recent talk https://lnkd.in/gJpKkeY8 at the MIT Media Lab where I got my own country and rock 'n' roll game started. —JM
