So many things to learn
B
👋Hi there! I'm Bear, a designer who lives and works in Auckland, NZ with my daughter and wife. I do podcasts, blogging and videos between my work and family hours.

After browsing through the Config2023 website, there are about 21 specific talks that I'm interested in. Each one lasts about 45 minutes, and including note-taking time, it's about an hour each, so 21 hours in total.

Being a product designer, maintaining professional competitiveness in the tech field is indeed not easy. Just learning from the three major annual events - Google I/O, WWDC and Config - takes about 100 hours of my time.

Of course, if I choose not to watch or learn, being an average-level designer is still an option, but it's dangerous. I've been through the Photoshop golden age and saw many talented designers stopped there and didn't improve, felt a shame.
