@deSign_r brings wisdom: "why are we lying to young people about work?". Authentic at its finest. Get inspired by its #designThinking:
Designers: We’ll all be design engineers in a year https://uxdesign.cc/designers-well-all-be-design-engineers-in-a-year-7cf548f1da4c ![](https://m.stacker.news/99929) When I asked about the project’s details, she shared a prototype she made in v0. It wasn’t polished, but it showed what she had in mind. No reading through a 15 page PRD. No “Let’s set up a quick call to discuss!” A 15 second schpiel and her prototype told me what I needed to know. It was like that scene from The Matrix where Neo learned kung fu in 15 seconds. That moment made something clear: AI makes it easier for anyone to turn an idea into something real. We don’t have to wait around for a professional. There’s no limit to who’s allowed to have ideas.
why are we lying to young people about work? ![](https://m.stacker.news/99932) # hard work isn't the tax you pay for living, it's the tuition for a life worth having -your fav gen z philosopher x _"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life,"_ I was told countless times growing up. This is bullshit we've been feeding kids for decades. We tell them that if they just find their passion, work will magically transform into endless joy, as if difficulty is just a symptom of being in the wrong job rather than an inevitable part of doing anything worthwhile. As if work were some unfortunate byproduct of insufficient enthusiasm rather than the very engine of human flourishing. This lie has metastasized through a generation raised on the gospel of self-optimization and peace-protection. Walk into any elementary school today and ask twenty kids what they want to be when they grow up. Fifteen will say "influencer" or "YouTuber," drawn not by any particular message they're burning to share with the world, but by the intoxicating mirage of work that doesn't look like work. They see someone chatting into a camera from their unmade bed, turning morning thoughts into millions of views, clicks into Lamborghinis. And, of course, they don't see the 3am editing sessions, the constant anxiety about algorithm changes, the soul-crushing grind of performing happiness for an audience that could abandon you tomorrow. > # _Our cultural obsession with finding passion has obscured a more fundamental truth: discipline matters more than motivation._
The No Bulls**t Guide To Drawing Tablets ![](https://m.stacker.news/99928) Shopping for a drawing tablet shouldn’t require a PhD in tech specs. You’re probably familiar with the demoralising maze of pressure levels, refresh rates, and feature lists longer than your inspo mood board. Throw in a few influencers hyping sketchy devices for payment, and you’ve got yourself a proper case of decision paralysis. The good news is you don’t need to decode it all alone. We’ve done the heavy lifting to bring you a no-bullshit guide to finding the perfect drawing device for your workflow and your budget.

image On #UserExperience Ideals If the ideal #UX is one that doesn't make us #think, and implicitly doesn't make us do things, delivering the ideal UX probably means predicting the #experience #people want, doing what they want, and reusing #thinking they've done in the past. Where predictions and reuse don't remove the need to think, we can reduce and #reward remaining thinking. While there are many frameworks for improving UX, I find myself mostly trying to #predict, #reuse, #reduce, and #reward thinking.
