Dylan Field live at Config: Intuition, simplicity, and the future of design

Today I'm excited to bring you a very special episode which was recorded live at Figma Config with Figma CEO and co-founder Dylan Field in front of a live audience at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This is the first ever live recording of this podcast. And it was so much fun. If you watch this on YouTube, you can see the epic stage that they built specifically for us to recreate my podcast studio. I could not be more thankful to the config team for making this happen.

In my conversation with Dylan, we dig into how he builds and refines his product taste and intuition. How intuition is a hypothesis generator, the future of product management. How Dylan attempts to operationalize keeping Figma simple and to continue simplifying the experience. Bunch of stories from the early days of Figma that I've never heard before. Also he shares his favorite AI tool called WebSim, which is wild. And if you wait till the very end, you can see a very young child actor, Dylan Field. in a clip that I found online that was hilarious.
