The authors of the blog post make pretty liberal use of fantasy artwork. The art doesn't add any educational value for me. If I stretch my imagination I can see how the last image gives a connotation of "an impressive, highly skilled, well refined entity", but to be it's... cringey for a company to be doing this. Like, I see my high school self in this aesthetic.
Also, the authors would do well to credit the original sources / authors.
- jlrubin 8y agoLots of people have 'cringey' aesthetics in tech -- e.g., the anti-ego depletion 'own everything the same' uniform, the VC Patagonia+AllBirds, the 'free tshirts only' nerd outfit, etc. It's better to judge people on the merit of their ideas than their appearances or aesthetics. I support David choosing to present himself, and his work, as he pleases.
