What if the EU built GitHub?

Crazy times in design industry. Wanted to write/rant a bit about something i’ve been noticing a lot. It’s wild seeing people with 🔔 ka real experience with AI, launching AI & design courses. You learnt the terms like PRs, Git, merge…..only a few weeks ago, calm down. Take time to master things yourself. …… Saw someone selling a pdf for “how to crack interviews at top design companies”… for companies they couldn’t crack themselves. The confidence🫡 I remember when things like this used to get called out on design twitter. Now it’s just… normal. Feels like when things don’t work out or are boring, people pivot to building an audience… and when that doesn’t stick, they start selling courses. Very few people genuinely post about what they learnt or post their work casually, repost a insightful YT link, share a doodle or wireframe Mostly, it’s just purpose driven, like “ - - hey self, i learnt a minor skill today,,, how do i magnify it as as something that people like it and end up giving me money - - Atleast followers to badhe “ Everyone’s chasing attention. Very few are building actual depth. And the cost? Early designers who are already anxious about AI and cracking a job end up paying for noise. If you’re a well learned and experienced designer who mentors and gives interpersonal advice to aspiring designers. I salute you. No matter if your service is paid or for free. You’re taking out time for this, it’s commendable. For people who are still early and are liking the attention when someone gives you importance coz you have followers and they assume you might know things. Please stop answering and stretching it out as an habit by launching courses. There is a lot to learn. Be responsible. ☺️
