designers believing they can by default build and scale businesses is the new version of “design thinking” – an unfounded belief you’re better than others just because you can make a great product or experience by designer metrics absolutely doesn’t mean the market will react the way you want had to learn the hard way

hardest thing i’m facing in my early 20s is having patience stories about the people you admire often focus on the end point but there’s often an undocumented 10 year period of absolute grind before they got there need to remember that

the book format is long overdue a structural revision with the expectations ai interactions set us up with, i can totally see dialectic engagement replace linear narratives for knowledge transfer and creation for some written sources debate with the text real-time, let your curiosity drive, and fix your attention giving you control over the engagement

google keynote is the bull case why brand is one of the few moats left for your business if it’s this easy for your competitor to catch up on a technical level then you need to crush them in an area that can’t be replicated: your take on the world. customers gravitate towards thing that emotionally resonate, not a list of features get to the core of your worldview, and amplify it

interesting to observe the value judgement on 3d and flat design ui design is relatively new as a field, so we don’t have as rich a history to draw from historical analogies from other fields may help here, but i’d also question the truism that taste and cycles repeat: they simply don’t if you look at a large enough time horizon

not doing this sooner cost me so much i’m realising saying no to 99% of things is how you grow starting out in my career the opposite was true; just take on everything and learn after a certain point, the cost of doing most things, especially for others, became significantly greater than the upside of picking and doing a small number, but high-impact activities

“abstract crypto away” is becoming an industry truism – which leaves us with the question of “then what?” we’ll have simplicity in ux and users can mentally map their existing experiences to our apps but some of the upsides of crypto, particularly in social contexts, come precisely from the value accrual that web2 hides – something that, if abstracted away, hides the entire value prop of onchain and protocol networks rn products that are ahead with the abstracting features should rotate back to asking “how can we make crypto visible in places where we have an edge over offchain competitors?”
