insult me. call me anal about a 3px misalignment, i don't care. I AM the reason your series A deck didn't look like a phishing email. yeah i'll spend an hour on a single radius and re-do the whole type scale at 11pm because the line height was off by 2 and it was eating me alive. you think thats the problem? thats the entire job. you shipped a homepage with 6 blues and a hero nobody can read and called it "moving fast." no. you moved fast into a wall... "oh daksh just ship it, taste doesn't pay the bills" man shut up. taste is the only thing that converts when your product is 3 weeks old and "backed by YC" is the only proof you're not a scam. your claude coded slop got you a demo. my work got them to wire money. keep telling me kerning doesn't matter while your $40M "frontier lab" looks like you're building from a basement. laugh because they'll forget your $150k launch tweet by tomorrow but they'll remember how your brand felt to look at for years. i don't design for the timeline. i design for the memory.

Client: sure (screenshares)
Me: It looks a lot like this other vibe coded website (I shared the link)
Client: WHAT! I’m switching between them and can’t tell them apart
