some WIP stuff 🎡

@athcanft never will

did $15k+ this month and: - live in bangkok like a king - wake up excited to work - have complete freedom yet still, dont have enough

@designbymeris interesting

Funky detail I implemented on my new site. Instead of opening a dedicated page for all projects and browse from there, I wanted to simplify the flow. By opening a menu and hovering over the horizontal space that is divided into 5 quadrants, you can land on any of the 5 projects available.

@designbymeris im not immersed anymore

@ajfreed_design Immerpress yourself

My new website is live. Took longer than I'd like to admit. Let's see how long it lasts. Slight rebrand, new domain. Moving away from my surname toward a simpler one-man design studio identity. This marks a new chapter of work. Heads down right now. I'll be sharing some updates on previous work soon, but new work will take time. Focused on making it count.

@designbymeris 😂

Okay, it’s time. Great addition for reading WW3 news.

@designbymeris cooked

@ajfreed_design Needs to upskill tbh

A 7/10 designer with low ego will outperform a 9/10 with a fragile one. The design industry talks endlessly about craft, tools, process. Rarely do they talk about: communicating well, listening to understand, receiving feedback, not taking feedback as a personal attack, just being a human in a human interaction. Clients don’t just buy design, they buy the experience of working with you. And that experience is mostly made up of soft skills. Have a great weekend y’all

@designbymeris @anothercohen @anonchain not in public

@anothercohen @anonchain @ajfreed_design Help me understand

Just in case Gen Z is trying to understand what happened today: Claude was mogging OpenAI for weeks. Then this gymcel dev ships Clawdbot which was the fastest growing OSS thing ever, absolute looksmax for the whole ecosystem. Anthropic tries to dairygoon him with legal. Dev renames to OpenClaw. OpenAI slides in like a foid-pulling Chad with acquisition interest. OpenClaw gets acquired by OpenAI. Now Anthropic is getting jestergooned by the entire timeline and OpenAI is gigamaxing off their fumble. Anthropic could've just let him cook. Instead they went full moid and got outframed by the jestermaxxers at OpenAI.

@jinyongftw goat is back
