Show notes:

One of the biggest things that I've learned about working on a product, like the Facebook app, is that there are no more edge cases. You can't just think like, oh, well, we're gonna ignore this, because, it's such a small percentage, that percentage, even if it's small, it could be like a millions of people at scale. 2:04
One of the most important things and the hardest things is prioritization in UX design. 4:13
To reduce cognitive load, you must know what's the most important thing? Sometimes these executives just say everything's important. But if everything's important, then really, nothing's important. 5:37
I think VR is the future of how we interact and experience. But, I also think that it's going to be a bridge to help facilitate real life in person engagement as well. 7:39
AR will be more like a real world imitation. And then VR will be like, almost like a separate world immersion. 11:23
When you build empathy with the users, you'll find a lot more product success, because you're not building features for the sake of being flashy or for getting more advertisement and ROI. You're building features for empathy. 27:30
This is the feeling that I get whenever I think about blockchain. Blockchain is an amazing solution. But I don't think that we have yet run into the problem that it could solve. - Dushyant 28:36
I have three buckets of advice. So the first bucket is on craft. The second bucket is on building a portfolio. And then the third is identifying opportunities. 33:55
Being part of communities like on LinkedIn or ADPList, when you build relationships with people, then when there is an opportunity, oftentimes you'll learn about it before there's even a job post. 39:58
Don't reinvent the wheel. This statement is true on so many levels that if you are a designer, if you can just go through the Google Design guidelines, the material design application out there, if you can just read the human guidelines created by Apple, that will help you. - Dushyant 41:01
