Great stuff, as always, Scott! I'm a long-time Product/UX Designer, but I've created several of my own products (mostly iOS apps) on the side using a contract developer. It really is fun to make all the product and design decisions yourself (and it's a good educational resume piece too!). So especially with AI builders now, I'd encourage more designers to create some stuff on the side.
Scott, sorry I missed your AMA. I do read your LI posts, many are spot on and many I have an uncharitable laugh to. I do wonder if you’re trying to become the Arch Nemesis of designers worldwide. Seems like you’re making hamburger out of a lot of Design sacred cow.
My question is : is this just me, or is it by design?
Thanks Mark. I can't say that my goal is to upset anyone! LOL. It just seems foolish to make the same mistakes over and over again. I actually want a better world and I believe designers and people like them have a key role to play in making that happen. But we can't do that if we're always ignored or complaining about things that are unlikely to change on their own.
Thanks for the perspective, Scott. My audience consists of individual artists and creative entrepreneurs, but since we practice our creative abilities daily, we can adapt what you explain and apply it to our individual circumstances.
This week I begin my newsletter with a paragraph about the impact of the creative act on our human organism. I will share this post because it reinforces my experience from a different perspective.

As an Industrial designer with 20 years under my belt, I can say this is still accurate information. Well written
