We have reached the LAST question of /lounge Season 3: Designers 😯 Huge thanks to all the extremely talented and thoughtful Loungers in this cohort (go hire them rn) What other question could I ask but… Given unlimited authority, what would you redesign about Warpcast today? 🫡

Thanks @cameron for hosting the lounge! Now warpcast, not sure if there’s anything big enough I’d redesign, given the priorities and limitations of the team. It’s not always about designing but about actually shipping it to many many people to use again and again I’d take a look if we have enough of features already but not doubling down on basics, things help farcaster scale, and I’m sure team has enough of ideas but has to prioritize appropriately.

It's funny, my instinct was to say no But then I looked back at my actual journey so far and life kicked into gear when I made my peace with the fact that I'm a designer. Why would I not do it before? Don't know. Guess I didn't want to pigeonhole myself. But there's beauty in focus, as in making things Going back to the question, design is my career and I do have goals - 2 mil is not enough to get out of the game. It is enough, though, to buy a house and get ready to hire people so I can scale my design practice early But would *I* be ready to do that? My gut tells me no - I need the experience I'll get on my way to earning those 2 mil by myself. Then I'll know how to use them

It would try to reflect the values and personality of the social network sufficiently decentralized through a process /brand3 … A work of constant evolution of the brand together with the communities to adapt it to all the changes of the ecosystem. Give the brand a system adaptable to all kinds of formats and turn it into a headless lovebrand CC0… I would love to do a process like the one we designed for /fos /fcc by @floc

Definitely would. First thing, I’d move to a better place as my home base, where basic necessities are solved like water quality, sound and air pollution, indoor humidity/mold etc. Second I'd slow down and focus on one idea at a time, right now I feel like I can't afford working on one idea/product, focused, for the whole day. I’d do more of the founder work than hands on design, most of the times I know exactly what to try next but lack the time needed to get that out. I'd do based studio but would, for example, work for a stake in the products we contribute to, and likely even invest in those products that I feel really great about using/potential for others to use. But primarily I'd focus on bootstrapping internal products. Service work is rarely done for other reasons than cash. Would invest time into finding the best designers to join us and devs to make it happen.

- do NOT switch on the computer first - get a clear idea of MIT for that day (talk or walk or write) - tell clients I'm not gonna be 100% - take a nap after lunch

I’d aggressively spend more time on things I want to design Design riskier and publically more often

Another Lounger sourced /lounge prompt - this time from @baseddesigner.eth 🫡 Would you still design if you got $2m out of nowhere? What would you do differently (if anything)?

Used to have a planning/priorities list for every project. Right now I don't have as big of a scope and every project is one task basically until I publish it or send to the client. Making sure at the end of each working day/session, that I have this list updated and good to go for the next time I pick it up. Using extra free time on the weekends to clean up email (hey.com), go through saved articles, downloads, sort exported assets into folders etc. Lately been also working on my own projects, checking in on dozen of other apps.

i write a weekly memo for /icebreaker that helps me organize my own brain, let's me compare with @web3pm, and helps communicate that to the team. this takes me anywhere from 30m-4h depending on what comes up the ultimate output from the exercise are our Big Rocks for the week – the 3 product updates that are the highest priority for us to achieve. we review these as a team during our daily standups - review Monday, check in on progress Wednesday, and score ourselves Friday another key element for me are the Thought Experiments / CUJ analysis where i LARP as that user type and honestly ask myself if i can complete the desired job, then score us. overall it's been a really helpful exercise that allows me to zoom out to the big picture before getting granular each week on my exact tasks to complete as well as course correct when we find new insights
