Consistency & quality both matter. But when building new habits, I start by focusing solely on consistency. I journaled exactly 1 page of my notebook everyday for years.
A long time later, assuming success at being consistent, I focus intently on quality. And with the shift to quality, my consistently usually falls. And that’s very okay (with me!) - because 1 win at a time is better than none, and often it's none.
@helenaeverley Unsure how this addresses any of the inherent issues with workflow builders, but I do see a lot of design talent and hope you’ll keep trying to figure it out!
@NatalieO73314 You seem to be doing the right things - Improving your guide, understanding your spot in the market - I'm sure more (just going based on your recent tweets). I think it will end well for you!
@TheIshanGoswami Nice work - pulled, tested, starred, and going to take another look later ◡̈. Special appreciation for the design since when any of many data points can't be filled (inevitable) it's handled relatively very gracefully 👍
Good suggestions, but Pantone swatch books are pricey, and then there’s more $ for them to order that color and then to setup to run it. More likely, your Pantone selection acts as a comparison for the guy on press - assuming stickers are printed on press but I think most have moved to digital.
Hitting that bright orange could come down to the sticker type - like it might be hard to get there on vinyl (which feel so good), but can mute colors.
Been a while since I lived in the print world, may be mistakes in my suggestions - but your post stood out and hopefully some of what I said is helpful. Good luck!!
Tesla’s self driving is so good, I no longer want a car without it. But their interior and exterior design choices, both current and future concept designs are just awful and far worse than cars below and above their price points.
I’d love to see them just copy Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, whatever you drive. The lowest models of each just crush Teslas interior (most exteriors too). I mean that across 100s of models across brands and packages. As long as the car has leather seats, it’s better than Tesla, but not something I want if it doesn’t have Teslas self driving.
It’s not that I want Tesla to win the car market, I just want them to expose the excellence of what they’ve built which is their self-driving. So many would benefit.
Randomly heard Sam Altman say Elon needs to be “that guy” and it’s so deeply reflected in his grandiose (yet poor) design decisions across every single Tesla. Sad to see it.
There is a time for any fledgling artist where one’s taste exceeds one’s abilities. The only way to get through this period is to make things anyway.

Thankful for all the work that these guys are putting into building Foundry, and the impact they’ve had on the research agents we’re building at GoldDust. I previously posted that agent evaluations were keeping me up at night because doing them well is a massive undertaking. Intuition is great. Measurements are too. To have intuition, and be to be able to freely exercise it due to data-back outcomes --- is good sleep.
Equally important, I once heard and resonated with ~ "expect to have 1 key person that works on an agent because they are just very hard to collaborate on". They said it was not due to sharing/collaboration features (easy to build), but a lack of reliable measurements (hard to build here).
Fortunate these guys understand the foundations needed by me and others ahead - congrats on the launch announcement 🚀 @lakabimanil_@PranavRaja1999

Congrats on the launch, @lakabimanil_ + @pranavraja1999!
Just shipped .xlsx format import. Borders, colors, etc.
One of our most requested features.
Feature parity with excel/sheets sometimes feels like a never-ending list but this one felt like crossing a big chunk off ✅
