    I work as a product designer and I always want to create beautiful and high-quality products. However, achieving this requires a lot of time and effort, involving multiple iterations. Unfortunately, many startup founders these days don't appreciate or understand design and want everything done quickly within 2 or 3 days or a week. As a result, they tend to rely on existing design patterns rather than investing in research, testing, and multiple iterations. Creating a quality product that stands out requires a lot of collaborative effort and dedication.

    This was surprisingly good, I ended up watching all the way to the end. TE is unique in that its products all feel like they were made with HEART, no matter how ridiculous they are or how insanely pricey they end up, the honesty is what shines through. No posing. Complete disregard of trends or copycat:ing. The absolute polar opposite of "Chinese product", which is very, very, refreshing.

      @@jeltoninc.8542 So you’re also aware how the iPhone changed the way we use phones. Apple pushed the phone into everyone’s hand, they’re a big part of the reason why people waste their days scrolling feeds. Just my opinion, the iPhone that came out in 2007 was a great tool and I loved it, but I never imagined what it would lead to. Apple and similiar tech companies earn money on us being disconnected from the real world, we really don’t need more companies that make “engaging devices”. I do agree with you on the design part. I used to be such a fan, even worked there for 7 years, but once it hit me I just can’t unsee it. Kids with iPads, babies with iPhones - I know it’s also a parenting thing, I can’t decide who’s responsible. Kids get bullied if they don’t have an iPhone, it’s just silly. That’s certainly not what Jobs invisioned. Anyways…

    Hey Varun , I'm following your channel since 2020 and I got to know every interesting and useful insights from you about AI and cool stuff build around it and it made me more intersted in AI stuff
    and the next year I had to choose a subject for stating my engineering course and I got to know there is branch based on "AIML " so as I was interested in AI stuff I choose it . But eventually got to know the curriculum is entirely wrong there was things which had to be taught later and they teach it before ... Making us even more confused and less confident on subjects like NLP and ML - algorithms and even the teachers are not aware what they are teaching , they are not able to explain how the code works......
    So I want to make a video on it to put some light on these things and
    Guide me what is the actual roadmap or subjects i need to learn to become a " AI 🤖 engineer " and build cool stuffs like what the open AI ' s team is building or if companies at the end of my fourth 4 thh year will even give me a job of an AI enginner profile or not ..?

    In my school's physics practical we had to make electronic stuff. Since I am an engineering freak, one of my friend came up to me and suggested to make things for others. He gathered customers and so did I. But I COULD NOT ask for much money since all of them were my friends. Tho I had collected my part of money for building those stuff, I had expended more trying which circuit works best and also destroying fome components. Whereas, that friend had collected much more money. Clearly I can say he's a businessman type so he could do this and I'm a science freak so I don't care money but actually I do because I need it to build more. I had thought then that if again I make something, I'll make it high price because it will make it luxurious. But
    All what I've learnt from teenage engineering is not all quality products are luxury. Like that tape recorder, it's a simple product with minimal design and DISTINCT SERVICE. So, it's important to build different what's not out there. Then, no matter how costly it is, if it's important (probably not always a problem solver for your life), people would buy it. It's just that you need time to gather customers.
    Still a long way to go before starting gaining success but definitely I've learnt this today, build not for the customer, you don't know who they are.
