Одна из вещей, которые я люблю в профессии продуктового дизайнера — то, что нужно постоянно учиться чему-то новому. Не только инструментам, но и области их применения, пониманию новых рынков, запросов людей, трендов, и т.п. Учиться лучше всего там, где сейчас горячее и интересней всего, и лучше всего прямо внутри индустрии.
Крутая статья на эту тему (2016): о том, как постепенное внедрение AI поменяет рынок образования. Кстати, не знал раньше, что ко-фаундеры Udacity и Coursera, Sebastian Thrun и Andrew Ng соответственно, — профессора Стенфорда, которые вели лекции по AI.
“Education will therefore have to be interwoven with full-time work. “People will have to continuously learn new skills to stay current,” says Mr Thrun. Hence his firm’s focus on “nanodegrees” which can be completed in a few months, alongside a job. Studying for a nanodegree in, say, data science or website programming costs $200 a month, but students who complete a course within 12 months get a 50% refund. A host of websites now offer courses in all kinds of skills, from user-experience design to project management to leadership. Some, like Udacity, charge by the course; others, like Lynda.com, which is owned by LinkedIn, a business-networking site, charge a monthly fee for access to all courses. (It is not difficult to imagine LinkedIn comparing the skill sets of its users against those required to apply for a particular job—and then offering users the courses necessary to fill the gaps.) Users and their potential employers sometimes find it difficult to tell which ones offer good value. More co-operation between government, training providers and employers over certification would help.”
