Your employer is a source of opportunities and financial security, but it does not define you as a designer. Employers are only the arbiter of your creative worth if you let it be so.

Finally, with AI, can we put this question to rest? Designers are not required to code to work, but yes, they do need to know how the code works. – at Brooklyn, NY

Legacy code be like
A door floating on a wall high above a staircase - you'd have to jump to go through and would probably injury yourself leaving. An arrow points to the door, saying "I don't know why there is there but I'm scared to delete it"

Users are not designers, and "doing what the user asks" is a bad design strategy. However, I see stakeholders saying this to justify another, even worse design strategy: "doing what the stakeholder asks." *Everyone's* change requests are data points, starting points.

#divtober 30: beloved 💔 not on cssdrawings.com 💔 Demo on CodePen: codepen.io/alvaromontoro/pen… I know this animation is incredibly basic and not much of a drawing... but, today I got to spend the day with my family and didn't get any time for divtober drawings. A big win.

Thanks everyone who attended the live streaming! We live coded this CSS cartoon for divtober (word of the day is "pun"), we viewed some tricks (mainly related to issues with Safari 😅), and talked some accessibility (thanks @toddlibby!) Demo on @CodePen: codepen.io/alvaromontoro/pen…
Cartoon of a moon with an Italian restaurant on top, and the text: Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? The food was good but it had not atmosphere.

Product Managers have taken a huge chunk out of the design teams agency by framing insight gathering as “product discovery”.
