I started drawing spiders when I was 5 years old

​

Design - and by proxy: software design - is pretty cool because every single digital product is presented on a 2D surface. I like that because it's symmetrical to drawing, I like drawing. You should tell your kids to draw!

​

It's also cool because some really smart and really hard-working people are slowly changing what can be expected out of that same 2D surface, which by the way, is only eclipsed by the line and the point in terms of simplicity. That's fucking cool. I want to be cool and make cool things.

Cool things are better than bad things.

Never in history has there been a time when an architect could - using natural language - translate their vision into a tangible thing without the help of engineers and hundreds of field workers.

​

Up until only a few years ago, there were almost no differences in procedure between the architect and the product designer. But now, we live at a time in history, uniquely, where something other than humans - computers, and more specifically LLMs - can bear the load of that translation for us.

I think that the average level of design has skyrocketed in recent years. It will probably keep getting better, and I want to be in the group of passionate individuals at the forefront of making cool 2D things.
