This piece touches on the inherent tension between originality and selling out (or selling to the masses) that I've definitely seen in comic circles. So many aspiring indie artists/comic creators who think Patreon is their easy ti

Any company that substitutes surveillance in the place of emotional maturity is going to have a real bad time in the long run. You don't get creative, well-functioning adults that can adapt on a dime by treating them like drones. (sauc

100% agreed. To add what you mentioned about increasing time on the things you care about, personally found it helpful to link a purpose to those specific actions in my head and mentally state it. For example -- "I've been anxious

It's odd as a design manager, I feel like people focus on the wrong things to be alarmed about with DALL-E, and aren't alarmed enough about others. * feels like there will be a subtle shift from (corporate) designers as creators

Agreed - surgeries too. Between waiting for the anesthesia to work itself out and the body recovering from the shock of it, it can be a wallop to the energy reserves. Recently slept like 20 hours a day for a day or two after a comparatively

True; I see your point and mostly agree with you, with the caveat that I'd file those traits as "being a decent human being with a reasonable level of emotional maturity" - things that I personally filter for in the interview

Design manager, not a coder, but been in the workforce for quite a while at this point ... The specifics vary from person to person, but the first 5-10 years of your career tends to be the "find what you don't want to do for the

Currently a manager, you wrote exactly what I would say, only in a much more robust manner. "Meeting standards" should not be cause for alarm. If it is, there are many things wrong with the company.

With the subscription shenanigans and dark patterns and abuse of their market dominance that adobe's pulled - good! Little taste of their own medicine's not a bad thing. :)

From what I've heard, 6mo is set as such in the case if somebody gets laid off and it takes that long for them to find another job - so they have exactly that amount of raw cash to survive on for rent/food/miscellaneous. Also

This article gets the very faintest picture correct, but dear lord is it obvious that the article writer has never talked in good faith with the people they're writing about. The contempt is still far too blatant, and you're not

No worries, been exactly there on a real emotional level. Wishing you personally the best of luck too, and proud of you for meeting the anxiety-head on with therapy. :)

If it helps -- it's still quite rare, and orders of magnitude less likely that you'd feel or remember anything other than a general haziness after three days. They put a whole cocktail of drugs in you so there's more overlap

I might quibble a bit with the 'just stay positive' line, but the "identity that's unrelated to work" is so real, crucial, and easy to overlook. Trying to jam a sense of life purpose that's a circle into a squa

Substack fills an explicitly free-speech need (for now) in an age where the backbone/service providers of the internet's conveniently forgotten why that's important. You get a lot more interesting writers on board than Medium
