Well, David, I guess stocks would do if one cannot find decent socks ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Socks, but like, pretty ones.

Equally good are those who have been working in a different field for X years, and recently switched to design, so based on their X years of work experience in their unrelated (or semi related) field, they consider themselves senior..

Well, to begin with, it takes having a team to lead. Which is something people don't really get and call themselves a lead when they're the only designer in the company ¯_(ツ)_/¯

IMO, that's like saying 'With blue colour, you'll stand out more from your competitors' to a social media startup ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If your focus is on small/local businesses and that's what you follow/refer to as competitors, then I understand, it can rarely be seen. Otherwise, I assume it's safe to say that a heck lot of global companies/individuals(freelancers) have it.

But what if your competitors use bold typography as well?

I haven't posted anything since September 2016 and it's there. Maybe you missed it cause it's an icon, not an obvious button? http://prntscr.com/frgl5u

I was quite sure that I would not live to see 'Atlassian', 'design language' and 'beautiful experiences' used in the same sentence. What's next? Hootsuite getting redesigned?

I'm interested in seeing the new & updated Jira look, though.

My process would be: a bit of crying, pinch of rage and handful of despair. Especially when PM adds another column after you've finished the initial table.. :/
