Maven

just wrapped the first 6 months of my community course, and i learned a ton of unexpected things about teaching ⬇️ 🧠 teaching forced me to get way smarter and clearer on my knowledge and perspective. it was one of the best learning accelerants i've ever experienced. 💡 teaching adults is extremely different from teaching teens or kids - especially smart, driven adults who are determined to grow. it's SO fun. instead of getting questions about what the content means, you get questions about how to apply it, or about edge cases you never would have considered on your own. 🎻 teaching is just as much about facilitating conversation between students as it is about delivering information and tools. it really is an art that you strengthen with practice, and once you master it you feel like you're conducting the most incredible orchestra of knowledge and discovery. 👹 teaching is scary no matter how qualified you are. it's a lot of pressure to make sure you're sharing informed and valuable perspectives while still creating space for alternative POVs or things you've never considered. it does get less scary the more you do it. 💸 teaching made me a lot more money than i expected, which is fabulous given my husband and i are saving for our first home. teaching a high value skill enables you to receive high value in return. have you thought about teaching? have you taught? have you had amazing teachers? what have you learned about teaching in your adult life?

Many designers are asking the same question: “Will AI replace me?” It’s a wrong question. What you should be asking is "How do I become irreplaceable? Fewer junior design roles, “restructuring” due to AI, and managers transitioning to ICs. The design market is messy and hyper competitive right now. We all feel it. Designers are stressed because no one knows the future of the industry. At the same time, we’re all overwhelmed by the number of AI tools and tactics we need to learn. The way we design is changing, so what can we do to survive? 👀 ✅ The only certain things in your design career are your skills They’re lifelong, so invest in them. Learn AI now and become a Super IC so you can become “unfireable”. That’s why in this carousel, I’m sharing 14 ways to use AI in your design workflow. I want to help you learn right away, without waiting. All insights come from Maven Lightning Lessons taught by AI design practitioners with real world experience. These are my favourite free lessons ⬇️ 1️⃣ AI Customer Insights: Prompt Fixes + Top LLMs for Analysis by Caitlin Sullivan: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pshorturl.at/eol0K 2️⃣ Rapid Product Discovery with AI-Powered Interviews by John Whalen, PhD: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pshorturl.at/nQYRB 3️⃣ Create AI-Powered Prototypes as a Product Designer by Xinran Ma: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pshorturl.at/WpGzY If you want more, consider joining AI courses on Maven for designers.

Most product leadership training is broken. Basic frameworks. Generic templates. Theoretical workshops. These might be helpful in your first 2-3 years as a PM, but once you're senior, you learn more by interacting directly with practitioners who've been in the trenches and can share the messy reality of what works. That's why I built Supra and continue to invest in community and education. Two months ago, we bet big on education by partnering with Maven. The response has been incredible. Supra members have been raving about the quality of instructors and the depth of insights they're getting from these sessions. "The speaker's real-world examples helped me understand AI evals in a way frameworks never could." So we're doubling down with four new additions: ⭐ Aman Khan(Head of Product at Arize AI) – Turns AI evaluation chaos into systematic processes ⭐ MAHESH YADAV (Google GenAI Product Leader) – Teaches PMs how to actually ship agentic AI products   ⭐ Elena Luneva (ex-GoFundMe VP) – Business thinking for PMs to become GMs ⭐Giff Constable (ex-Meetup CPO) – Financial fluency for Product Leaders who want the CPO job Supra members get exclusive AMAs where you can ask the follow-up questions and interact with the experts in our community. You also get preferred pricing on Maven courses to dive deeper. Interested in joining an upcoming AMA with these experts? I will share a link to join shortly (or use the one on the post's image)

“Only 2% of enterprises are highly ready for AI” (according to recent F5 research) I used to think AI was just for smart people. It felt huge and overwhelming. Every time I opened Linkedin, there were more AI tools, more AI experts, more “you’ll fall behind” messages. I panicked and ignored it for a long time. One day, I stopped reading opinions and started looking at facts ⬇️ ↳ Companies that aren’t ready ↳ AI tools that didn’t work ↳ Few real success stories Especially in big companies? They’re still figuring it out. That made me feel better. Turns out that no one really knows what they’re doing, but they’re trying and testing. So I started learning. I didn’t have a plan but I picked one thing, then another and over time I built my own learning routine. AI is moving fast, there’s no doubt about it. But you still have time. And the best time to learn? When everyone else is too. But you know what most people focus on? New AI tools, new models. But where’s the user-centric design? Not much of it out there. I’ve barely seen any posts about it on Linkedin. Today, I’m sharing 12 things I learned in the Master UX Design for AI course by Rupa Chaturvedi on Maven. An in-depth course for designers, taught by a real AI industry expert (Rupa worked on Alexa). I learned about: ✅ The role of UX in AI ✅ AI design foundations ✅ User-centric AI design ✅ Multimodal AI design and more By the end of this course, I built my first AI product: an AI finance assistant for solopreneurs. I added AI features that received positive feedback from potential users. It wasn’t just vibe-coding for fun, it was about building real value with AI. If your AI product doesn’t solve a real problem, it can be useless. That’s why I’m so glad I took Rupa’s course and learned how to build with purpose.

It used to be that you could be a successful IC or middle manager without great taste. But in the AI era, taste is the only thing that matters to rise through the ranks. If you were really good at the technical details or execution, you could eke out 5% or 10% wins by processing large amounts of data, hacking your way through problems, or hiring a bigger team. With AI, you can run 5-10x more experiments in a given month, write 10x more posts, and build 10x more features with a smaller team. What is left in such an era? Your judgment, your taste, your ability to influence execs and peers. Most ICs and managers aren't ready for this shift. That's why today we're launching "Leadership in the AI Era" - a free series of Lightning Lessons on the skills like: • Describing the ROI of your work with Ryan Scott • How to sell and frame your ideas with Yue Zhao • Influence without authority with Satish Mummareddy • Executive communication for engineers with Kelly Vaughn • Breaking through from senior manager to exec with Ethan Evans These leadership skills are AGI-proof because they're fundamentally human.

What people say: "RAG is dead". What they should say: Vector search is not enough and you need hybrid / agentic RAG to get good retrieval. If you want to understand how to make the most of these RAG methodologies, I recommend these three Maven talks: 1. "I don't use RAG, I just retrieve documents" by Benjamin Clavié, Hamel H., and Shreya Shankar https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gQx7JwN7 2. Hybrid Search Is Just The Beginning: Optimizing the R in RAG by Doug Turnbull and Hamel https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/grCxwzcj 3. Better RAG Through Better Data by Jason Liu and Adit Abraham https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g59FJ4_6 I'm building tools to help AI Engineers implement advanced RAG methodologies easily.
