It’s probably subtle to you but not to other people, especially people outside your industry. I notice even the smallest pixel offset or the tiniest color change, but I can barely smell a rose, but that’s why I became a designer and programmer instead of becoming a chef.
I’m speaking from experience presenting minor color changes to a fellow programmer versus maybe a product owner. I understand this is the same experience my friends feel when they try to show me the smell of a flower and my only response is “well it smells nice like any other flower.”
I am genetically incapable of the same experience.
- jjeaff 5y agoJust a tangent, but I wonder if your lackluster sense of smell is actually genetic or if it is something that could be developed with effort. Because there are a lot of foods or smells that are "acquired". So I wonder if you took conscious effort to smell and "savor" (for lack of a better term) different types of flowers, if you would actually start to notice the differences and subtleties.
- thrashh 5y agoMy sense of smell is just really weak. I can barely even detect the smell. I’ve never smelled a strong flower and I run a home garden. I’ve done wine tastings and what not as well and I can’t really tell apart anything. It’s funny because people say I’m a good cook but I bet I overload my dishes with spices more than I need to.
- jjeaff 5y agoOne of the big differences between professional cooks and home cooks is that home cooks tend to under-season things. So maybe your over compensation works out for you.
