Life hack: Hang around really smart people.

[conduct|r @conductr_]

according to stoicism, a life wasted by fear, inaction, and doubt is the worst thing you can do. your lack of urgency and imagination is killing your potential.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Every man eventually discovers that competence is the only real stabilizer of self-esteem; no amount of praise, affirmation, or philosophical comfort can replace the confidence that comes from knowing you can produce results even when conditions are hostile.

Do hard things

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to engage the world to win. Travel more. Talk to people.

[Bad Person @bad_person101]

When there is nothing to come back to, you stay and live with the void. The dream of returning becomes a ghost you chase but never catch. The years pass. Your siblings' children grow up in photos. Your parents age in WhatsApp voice notes. You become a character in their lives, not a presence.

[Design Queen 👩‍💻❤️✨ @TheRuqayyah]

Design assessments are getting ridiculous and I don’t think we’re talking about it enough.

How is “design a full dispatch scheduling system for an oil & gas company” a test??

Not just a few screens, a full system:
Admin dashboard, worker flows, group assignments, movement tracking, reporting, even GPS-based check-ins.

That’s not an assessment. That’s a product.

Then you add “earliest and best submission will be selected” so now it’s unpaid work and a speed test.

And the part that really threw me off… Who is this even for?

No clear company presence, no real product context, just a highly detailed brief asking people to design an entire system from scratch.

It feels less like a hiring process and more like idea mining.

Because what exactly are you evaluating?
It’s no longer just design skill.

You’re filtering for who has the most free time, who can drop everything, who is willing to overextend themselves for a maybe.

If an assessment takes more than a few hours, pay for it.

Anything else is just… very suspicious behaviour.

A designer’s existing work should already tell you what you need to know. If it doesn’t, the problem is probably how you’re evaluating them and not the designer.

@TheRuqayyah I was telling my friend the other day that some companies post fake design roles to exploit unsuspecting applicants.

[Andrew Ijeh @andy_ijeh]

Best thing I’ve read today.

[designwithkingsley @desgnwitkinsley]

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.
