    I'm not an architect (yet!) 🙈 but I'm so honored Substack chose to feature me as one of the most interesting Substacks to check out.

    should designers shut the fuck up and get a life outside of work?

    I cannot emphasize enough how the actual best designers are people with full lives and interests outside of work. You can't tap an empty well. You can't solve problems if you don't know how anything works. You can't make interesting things if you aren't interested.

    young designers: you most assuredly do not need to be grinding on social media every day in order to be successful. no one can produce their best work *every* day. spend your off days walking, dreaming, baking bread

    everyone is freaking out about how ai video is the future but i'm here freaking out that we can screen for breast cancer by collecting tears. it apparently has 91.5% accuracy. that's more accurate than a mammogram and no radiation 🥲auria.care

    I don’t remember who originally tweeted it but I haven’t been the same since reading “designers get critique, engineers get pairing.”

    Why are part-time jobs so rare in tech?
