Thinker + Maker

Being a passenger on the team as a designer is boring. I'd rather drive even if it is destined to be a bumpy road.

I just left a peak of Mount Stupid. Now is the time to shut up and get to work. Let‘s see what happens after the job has been done.

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

I was one of those idiots.

You can’t eat your cake and have it too.

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

Someone who believes themselves is a problem solver is usually a problem-maker.

I was searching for how to build a notification system the whole day and found a few articles and diagrams, which didn’t help me at all. Looks like I have to reinvent the wheel or ask Chat GPT 😂

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

How to make designers feel frustrated? Micromanage.

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

Reinventing the wheel is a waste of time but super fun, and you learn a lot.

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

Focusing on the problem helps us to keep the solution simple. But in most cases, we focus too much on what we want to make.

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

How do we know what is a good career? Big names, good salary, prestigious awards, lead titles, or stories from the journey?

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

If everything is important, then nothing is.

[Jinx @thinkermaker]

If you build something without having a clear vision or understanding why you are making it, you will make something useless, which is obviously a waste of time.
