I’m quite sick of:
Figma is Dead
SaaS is Dead
Logo Design is Dead
UX is Dead
Webflow is Dead
Design is Dead
Adobe is Dead
and so on
“Attention please” is always alive 🫠
Everything has its own life cycles
Moments of glory, and just fitting into lifestyle
UX is not dead, it’s just changing to new standards.
Abode is not dead, it niched down to specific markets.
and so on, and so on
It’s just tools and services that need to evolve in our mindset to catch up with current industry standards
ELON: QUITTING IS NOT IN MY NATURE
Lex:
“Where do you go to both personally, intellectually, as an engineer, as a team, for a source of strength needed to persevere?”
Elon:
“A source of strength?
That's really not how I think about things.
For me, it's simply, this is something that is important to get done, and we should just keep doing it or die trying.
I don't need a source of strength.
Quitting is not in my nature.
I don't care about optimism or pessimism.
Fuck that.
We're going to get it done.”
