The reason why I mentioned this means that if he can teach himself these things, then you can do it too. And as you'll discover later on in the episode, all you have to

Design is not a process, a way of thinking, and the outcome of not necessarily something visual We are getting closer to the promise of custom maps for everyone, and we are already seeing personalized maps Content with Alan Mcconchie here:

For some time, there was hype around AI and data science and that they would solve all of our problems. If you think AI solves every problem, then you’re overestimating its utility and where we’re at. However, on the other side, if you’re a business of any size, operating at least some type of technology, and you think AI can solve none of your problems — you’re also mistaken.
