Taste beats process when AI can do the rest

Most of it is slop. And so in this cacophony, how do you stand out? You stand out by having good taste. I think taste is the most important thing.

Taste is about the ability to identify what is really good, without needing to see its results. Game recognize game before the game is called, right? Like, game recognize game in the practice session.

Taste, sometimes I think we think of as this inaccessible thing that, 'Oh, that person was born with taste.' I see it as a skill that it can develop. I think is extremely important to try lots of products. We have one of our internal operating principles as increasing exposure hours. Try to quantify how much time you expose yourself to watching how people use your products and you'll develop that muscle.

Your failure to really be considerate and exercise this courtesy and really be empathic about other people's experience is an advantage that you can create. Most people don't have good taste and don't invest.

I define good taste as knowing what other people want just before they do.

I think taste will be increasingly more valuable. And I think often when people think about tastes in the realm of software, they think about visuals, or taste over smooth animations, and coloring things, UI, UX, et cetera on the visual design of things.
