You’ll never achieve anything if you are afraid of being cringe

Then again this is from someone trying to use looksmaxxing to achieve outsize return, good luck with that

How to become scary good at UI design (in 30 mins a day):

Step 1: Open a beautifully designed app
Step 2: Recreate one full screen, pixel for pixel
Step 3: Annotate 10 decisions the designer made

Do this for 30 days.

You’ll notice things 99% of designers miss.

Expertise isn’t inherited. It’s earned by iteratively compounding knowledge until you see what nobody else can.

"No matter where you journey, your skills and your past experiences go along for the ride. This is why you shouldn’t worry if your career doesn’t follow some up-and-up external ladder structure...

Careers are long, so invest into them where it counts."

There’s this concept I like called the 85% rule. Apparently when athletes are told to run at 85% capacity, they run faster than if they're told to go 100%. It’s a bit counterintuitive, but relaxing and not being so serious can go a long way for productivity.

one of my fav things about being an adult is having the freedom to pursue all the hobbies of my inner child

We need to hire more early career designers. Tell your managers.
