Navigating Rapid Change

When everything in tech seems to change at once, how do you keep up without feeling behind? In this episode of New Layer, Jasmine and Tanner talk about getting through rapid industry change. They cover replacing fear with curiosity, keeping a beginner's mind, and taking a "low and slow" approach that values watching and listening over racing ahead. They also discuss how AI can overturn established workflows overnight, the pressure to deliver high-fidelity prototypes in a week, and why measuring your career by what you learn may matter more than promotions. Designers may also have an advantage here: we're trained to treat change as a user problem to solve.
