This would be mitigated if DN has the abilit to 1) flag content and 2) downvote low quality content. This has been brought up before: https://www.designernews.co/stories/56505-ask-dn--do-you-want-the-ability-to-downvote

To be clear, not upvoting is NOT the same thing as downvoting. Downvoting provides information about the content that is useful. This is expanded upon here: https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/03/the-value-of-downvoting-or-how-hacker-news-gets-it-wrong/

Just ordered a 13" Macbook Pro (2015-gen) for work today. Since the components are not upgradeable, always buy as much RAM as you can afford. Hard drive size will depend on your usage.

I'm already invested with a Thunderbolt Display, a ton of charging bricks, and USB devices, so the new USB-C ports are a no-go.

Here is Quora's take: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-many-UI-designers-using-round-profile-pictures-in-their-designs-recently/answer/Amit-Patel-5

But. "Everyone is doing it" can be a valid reason. It's called convention. You aren't trying to re-invent the wheel with profile pictures. If that is the expected format, that should be enough to at least seriously consider it without needing a "source"

Use your school career center. They are there to help you. It's free and they've seen thousands of students before you.

The fall recruiting season is mostly over, so you've already missed that window. Brush up your resume/portfolio and go to every career fair in the spring.

Why don't you want any new grad positions?

Does anyone own one? Would you recommend it?

Do you still have to buy the extra pens? It says "try for free when using Pencil" but it's unclear what that means...

I take text-only notes, grouped by topic, as well as todo items and research items for my current projects. I also need to share these between computers and on mobile.

I was quite happy with Evernote maybe 3-4 releases ago, but it seems like every new feature they add is something that I don't care about. I don't need to present, share, chat (??), or embed files.

Here are the two pieces John mentioned:

Hi John,

I think your "math and art" story is a common one, particularly in Asian-American families. As you continue to talk about STEAM and the importance of design, do you have any thoughts on how to spread that message to the Asian-American community?

Definitely understand what you're going through. Especially if you're playing product and design roles.

However.

Designers are not artists. We work with constraints. What you're experiencing is very normal and quite frankly why your company is paying you. Given enough time, anyone can create a great design. A designer's job is to do it under time pressure, while juggling multiple inputs and to do it consistently every time.
