The job market is a tale of two cities right now. The difference I am noticing between the folks who are inundated with eye-watering seven-figure offers and those who have trouble finding a role is simply the ability to keep learning, adapting, and getting better.

It's a brave new world out there. Gone are the days of sticky notes and following the "right process."

Things to start doing :

1. Get comfortable with code. Like, now. If you missed the boat on trad code, plenty of IDEs to play with. Did you start yet? No?? I'm begging you, please. For me.

2. Build personal projects. What are you building in your free time? What is the real you, free from the shitty design systems that bind you, capable of? This also clearly demonstrates a builder's mindset and agency.

3. Work on your visual design and creativity. I think years ago, "complexity in the work" and "product thinking" allowed us to get away with weaker craft, but no more. Get weird, people. Have fun with your site and portfolio. Make something memorable. A great start would be @joshpuckett 's Interface Craft.

4. Get curious. It's a fucking designer's playground right now, there are so many fun tools out there to experiment with!

the inspo for this animation is from The Mills Brothers' "I Ain’t Got Nobody" – a little tune recorded a few years ago in 1932

If you are a designer trying to figure out how to transition your skills and job title, you are in good company.

Maybe you’re juggling family and other obligations so you have to be intentional about how you experiment.

I’ve heard this often.

The ambiguity is stressful. Learning new things and committing to those things before there’s any meaningful evidence that they’re worth your time is challenging and scary.

Every designer who is up to the task of learning and being curious is experiencing this, alongside the builder euphoria.

This is normal.

What you’re going through is hard, but you’re not an outlier. Stay the course of curiosity and take some comfort in knowing this is what it feels like to adventure into the hinterlands.

Years from now, you will be able to speak intelligently to an evolution you experienced first hand, where all the noise and influencers and companies and promises were loud and manic.

Dust will settle. And should you choose to be, you will still be here, changed and learned.

@joshpuckett @valiocon hey @joshpuckett any updates on this? 👀

Heading to SF this August (17th–31st) for a bit! If you’re a designer out there and want to meet up, grab coffee, or just chat design over a walk, let me know. Always looking to meet people who care about this work as much as I do 🤓
