It’s only in this AI era you download an app, feel it’s trash… and decide to build your own 🤭

So I did.

Built Prologue. A writing space for actual writers, not another SaaS dump.

Still building, but this already feels different.

@Joe_brendan_ @bimbazzi A first-class Statistics graduate from the University of Ibadan here.
The grades earned me a lot of respect while I was in school but outside the university walls, I’m still trying to find my footing career-wise.

Good grades help, but they don’t guarantee life is figured out.

Moniepoint is hiring for 82 roles right now. Remote. Onsite. Tech. Non-tech.

And 99% of Nigerian job seekers will miss it because nobody told them.

Consider this me telling you 👇

I was on a call with a UX designer at one of Europe's largest biotech companies. Sharp, clearly talented but she was struggling.

She told me . "Every time I present my work, people pile on with suggestions about what direction I should take the design next. They all seems to have opinion about my work. And honestly… it's starting to make me feel like they don't think I know what I'm doing."

I let her finish. Then I told her something that caught her off guard.

"You're the problem."

What you allow, you begin to absorb.
Here's what I mean: in design, everyone will always have an opinion. It's not like engineering, where the code either compiles or it doesn't. Design invites input, and if you don't control how that input lands, it controls you.

So here's the move and i typically started doing this since 2023. When the feedback starts rolling in, you don't defend, you don't even deflect, and you definitely should not just nod along, no try am.

Close that loop with this

"I have heard your collective feedback, and I'll go back and do what seems right for the product, with everything you have raised in consideration."

That's it. That's how you own your work. You acknowledge, you absorb, and then you decide. The designer decides.

Because if you don't hold that line now, here's where it goes: non-designers start opening your Figma files. They start moving things. And with AI making design tools more accessible by the day, that boundary gets crossed faster than you even think.

Own your work. Defend it. Not with ego oo, but with authority. You were hired for your expertise. That expertise includes knowing which feedback to act on and which to note and move past.

Try and be professional oo when doing this before you will go an unleash the dragon and talk say na Kingsley send you.

Don't mention.

@quionie I built a writing studio for myself to explore my writing hobby, fully functional.
You can import an existing Manuscript, it retains all your styling.. You can also start from scratch, it has a rich text editor

My biggest prayer point right now is clarity.

I need clarity.

I need to know what to do and how to do it.
