@ghosttyped I think this is why finance dominates in the city. and even then, compared to US the salaries are middling (and taxed higher too)

@logic_denier @Delta Sorry to hear. Had the same thing happen to me by @Delta , totally sucks. The enployees take advantage of their position and just pocket items they find on the plane instead of turning them over. Dishonest employees and the company doesn’t do anything.

@other_work seems like a prime example of consumer satisficing. when production volume and quality of the “dupes” has caught up to a near-indistinguishable end product, why pay 3x the price for “authenticity”? the rebrand is the downstream effect of ppl not caring about the origin

@_brianpotter Great post. It seems somewhat miraculous the US managed to pull off some ambitious production goals. I read Freedom’s Forge last year and also appreciated how much political opposition the administration had to overcome in order to privatize a lot of the manufacturing.

@GergelyOrosz Makes sense that Slack now advertises itself as a remote tool, given the industry shifts. But the tool doesn’t feel designed for remote work. It’s the open office floor plan as a communications tool.

Some evergreen advice for those wanting to get into design and asking for advice: Just go try to make something small. A logo, a book cover, an app screen, a poster. Then when you read design books, you’ll get much more from them.

@itspatmorgan Yes. It positioned design as a c-level stakeholder. Sometimes that meant more power than design normally gets at a company, like the capital to shutdown an engineering led project/directive. (Not saying that’s always productive, but it gives you a sense of the weight)
