So IDEO largely built its marketing around the idea that The Designer is a higher-level thinker who can sift through all of the mass-produced junk that was rising up as a result of automation and find quality.
This was rooted in racism and was doomed to fail... (thread)

One misunderstanding is that this way of working leads to some tech debt: I don't think it does, if the designers/engineers know what they are doing. No-one is going to create a new button component because it's 1px larger than what exists in the code. So we have components,… https://t.co/BDsEtodDsV pic.twitter.com/OAA2ceSRyt— Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) October 20, 2023

There are plenty of ways to stand out as a junior engineer without taking a back seat. A few that worked for me:1. When you’re faced with an unfamiliar problem, break it down into smaller problems. You might even recognize pieces that you already know how to solve.— Holly Borla (@hollyborla) October 19, 2022
