POD 48 - New AI Opportunities & Hybrid Roles - with Finn Dollimore

In this episode, I sit down with Finn Dollimore, senior web developer at Antler. We talk about where Webflow fits in a world where AI can spin up a site faster than most developers can. Finn makes the case that Webflow builders are actually well-positioned right now, not despite AI, but because of it. We get into hybrid roles, app development, vibe coding, the future of design tools, frameworks like Lumos, personal branding, and why pairing two or three skills together might be the smartest career move you can make.Check out Finn:finndollimore.comYouTubeLinkedInAlso mentioned:Timothy RicksLumosMASTRyan HaywardBy HuyRelumePaperTimestamps:00:00 Teaser00:28 Webflow Partner with Framer Site02:11 Future of NoCode?04:20 Maintenance of AI Sites06:23 Intros & Finn's Background09:17 New Opportunities For Webflowers14:14 How to Start Learning Coding?17:47 Future Role of Designers?24:30 Hybrid Roles30:06 Three Career Paths for Webflowers35:11 Webflow Should Have AI40:11 Complacency42:16 Framework Talk48:47 Open vs. Closed Components54:54 Running Older Versions of Lumos58:02 Making Components Understandable01:03:10 The Value of Speaking Engagements01:09:00 Getting the First Speaking Gig01:12:20 Meetups01:15:55 Evolving Personal Brand and Content Creation01:24:33 LinkedIn & Videos01:26:01 Weird Finnish Thing
