@karrisaarinen @linear From now on I will be using + as bullet points, genius

@wojkuli @boski You should add categories so people can filter MCPs that they can use for their specific goals and use cases

the first example that came to my mind: https://t.co/MgQ0qs3ExR

at 10 y/o: I wanted to become a minecraft let's play youtuber, so naturally I had to learn how to use Gimp (remember that?) to create thumbnails for my yt channel

at 11 y/o: I realized I could just have fun using gimp and photoshop, I started doing a bunch of digital art to express myself and just to keep busy after school

at 12 y/o: doing emotional-style art in photoshop helped me get some recognition at facebook design groups. Started freelancing for underground hip-hop artists.

at 13 y/o: I messaged one upcoming artist on facebook, I sent him a bunch of my designs and asked if he needs some help

at 14 y/o: I personally designed two of his albums, One got extremely viral, it got over 700M+ streams on all platforms and got certified platinum status

at 15 y/o: I got into a vo-tech highschool and picked up coding classes. Still kept freelancing on a side.

at 16 y/o: I continued coding and designing, got into the world of ui/ux because of that. Founded my first ever startup and even managed to receive a small (~$25K worth) grant from a local fund.

at 17 y/o: Decided to leave that startup because of the differences I had with my co-founder. Around that time I met @Jaaneek who thought me how to code properly. Got my first "real job" as a software engineer, it was the largest dental x-ray clinic chain in Poland.

at 18 y/o: Dropped out of high school the day after finishing 18 years old.

at 19 y/o: Quit my swe job, started freelancing as a product designer full-time, worked with tons of incredible people and also managed to co-found another startup on a side. The startup went great and thought me a lot about how to design for business impact. Moved out from my parents.

at 20 y/o: Kept freelancing, worked with tens of products and incredible teams. Somehow managed to close some of my biggest clients yet. One got over 40M+ users, some got billions of dollars in valuations, some got backed by biggest VCs in the world (@a16z, @ycombinator, @ThriveCapital...). Just few months before turning 21 I decided it's time to chill a bit and went quiet for few months, occasionally working at other design agencies just to get busy

at 21 y/o: Been 21 y/o for just few weeks now, so not much is going on yet, but I genuinely can't wait for what's coming.

@xalancer @grok what do you think

[Phil Pitus @pitus_]

“Why hire a designer? AI is faster”

Sure, it is.

AI makes you faster, BUT at the level you're already at.
If your app is confusing, AI will make it confusing, faster.

Fixing it still takes someone who knows how to make a product look, feel and work like a $1B company :)
