Ai tools have flipped the build vs buy math in favor of passionate small teams making CraigsList.com style business models.Figma is optimized for invoicing & silos.
I know these are fightin words for some, but I've personally never seen Figma be a good thing for product goals or the whole team.
However, I want to push back a bit. I was depressed, but not from trauma. I avoided going to the doc to avoid long term prescription drug use and therapy. I regret that decision, and it cost me career opportunities and damaged relationships.
It is a legitimate concern, but wildly overstated in my mind for 18 tough years.
She's a funny old lady and was hilarious about how she liked these pills because it did not effect my funny hand gestures here.
I was sceptical, but took half a pill as she instructed. Next thing I know I am eating a sandwich at chick-fill-a not hating Chick-fil-A people thinking normal is going to be EASY.
I kept taking half pills a week longer that instructed because the positivity was a bit much to take.
I accidentally took 2 pills a couple times and I feel so positive I annoy myself.
If I forget a pill the old familiar negativity and muscle pain in my shoulders comes back.
I do still dislike Chick-fil-A people.
Massive life improvement all around.
Feel dumb about waiting 18 years, so I talk about it to break down the stigma associated with mental health.
So what examples would you suggest?
The examples from the post were: * Euthanizing disabled babies * The positive side of colonization * Choosing ones race like one chooses ones own gender identity
Those also seem to have a political bent.
Also to be clear not advocating for or against any of these ideas, some of them make me VERY uncomfortable even thinking about.
Yes there will be ideas discussed at the quality of eugenics.
However, there may also be ideas like the earth orbiting the sun.
Example topics that should cause too much controversy for open discussion are: * The Palestinian apartheid
* How Carolyn Bryand Donham fits into the #metoo movement
* Supply side economics is the root cause of Facism
* How long should a peaceful protests be ignored before it can morally be violent?
* The United States was violently founded on "Taxation without representation". The same situation is happening now with gerrymandering and outdated Senate rules.
* Cloning is going to happen, and it is going to get weird
* AI is going to happen, and it may be scary
I am NOT opening these ideas up for discussion. What I am saying is that all these are worthy of open, thoughtful discussion. Sometimes to say they are not a thing, sometimes to change perceptions. Mostly they are going to make a lot of folks angry.
From my understanding they went out of business in the great depression. However their hand tools endure through quality and continued utility.
If you ever get to hold a he Smith 660 screwdriver it is a surprising joy

Turns out it's a LOT easier than it sounds. Unfortunately I never got a client to bite on this so I don't have results to share.
