Max Schoening, Head of Product at Notion, argues that agency—the belief that the world is malleable and you can change things—is more crucial than skills in the AI era, as AI democratizes skill access. He discusses how AI makes the first 10% of projects "free," accelerating product development, and advocates for malleable software that gives users ownership over their digital environments. Schoening also emphasizes building "obviously good" products with a "tiny core superpower" and shares his contrarian views on inclusivity and universal basic income.
