@VivanVatsa Third world people and their data is used to train the first world AI. Exactly how third world cotton was used to manufacture first world fabric, and then sold to the third world.
Dear Designers
Do not forget.
You're allowed to make something that doesn't lean on the same three UI component libraries everybody else uses.
You're allowed to use a typeface that isn't SF Pro.
You're allowed to make apps look and work differently, they don't all have to look like a Finder re-skin or a stock MacOS app.
You're allowed to question every single assumption and convention you have absorbed without noticing you absorbed it.
You're allowed to leave a fingerprint.
Do not forget,
you are a designer 🖤
Most designers dream of working for Apple or similar. They want to join a team at the top. And I get it, I do.
Maybe its the way I was raised, but I don't see the attractiveness in joining a winning team, quite the opposite.
Especially as a designer, I'd rather work somewhere or on something that hasn't figured out design yet, where you can figure out all the problems and move something, have a real impact.
I see no personal challenge (or fulfilling feeling) in joining a winning team where the bed is already made. Give me the unsexy thing nobody else wanted, give me something messy.
I hope and wish more designers will see it this way in the future too, after all isn't that why we become designers in the first place?
