I offered two guys contracts worth $5k late last year. I’d never met these guys until I stumbled on their posts showcasing their work on the 27th of December.
Contracts sealed by the 31st.
My favourite part of this story?
The guy I found on IG? The post that made me decide to choose him had 1 like and about 16 views. The guy on X? He simply quoted another post and that post got 122 impressions.
Two things that should stay top of your mind this year:
1. There’s an 11th hour blessing. Their break came when most people had packed up for the year. Keep pushing even when it doesn’t make logical sense.
2. Chasing vanity metrics is a futile adventure. Imagine if they deleted those posts because they didn’t get views or likes? I guess we’ll never know.
Rooting for you. Always

You can right-click on a gradient fill in the gradient panel to redistribute gradient stops evenly in @Figma Design. (This used to be triggered previously with a double click.) #FigmaTip
For most of computing history, designers actually built what they designed.
Early web, early software, early startups, if you owned the UI, you shipped the code.
Feels like a full-circle moment for design.
The wall between design and build is collapsing and the market wants builders again.
We’re basically heading back to how things worked before the roles were split.
As software gets easier to make, the products that stand out will be the ones crafted with uncommon care.
If that's the kind of work you want to do, I'm sharing everything I know:
