Your minimalist, black-and-white, 'Inter' font portfolio is why you aren't getting hired. In a sea of 'clean design,' the person who uses a weird lime green, a brutalist layout, and a 3D cursor is the one who gets the interview.

Safe design is the riskiest thing you can do for your career. #design

We’ve been saying 'Mobile First' for a decade, but 90% of us still design the Desktop version first because it’s 'more fun.' 👨‍💻

Be honest: do you actually start with the 390px screen, or do you design the big version and just 'shrink it down' at the end?

Why does every SaaS website in 2025 look like a carbon copy of Linear?

Inter/Geist font? ✅
Dark mode bento grid? ✅
Subtle glow effect? ✅

Are we at the 'peak' of UX, or have we just stopped being creative? Tag a site that actually looks original.

90% of small business clients don't need a custom Next.js or Framer site. They need a clean Wordpress or Squarespace site they can actually edit themselves.

Designers: are we over-engineering solutions just because we like the tech, or is the 'no-code' era finally good enough for pro work?

If you had to set up a brand new MacBook 👨‍💻 today and could only install 5 non-Apple apps to get your work done, what’s making the cut?

My list is feeling very different than it did two years ago. 💔

I really want to be a Safari person for the battery life, but I keep crawling back to Chrome because of the extensions.

Is anyone actually making Safari work for a pro workflow in 2025, or am I chasing a ghost?
