My current AI paradox, use AI and get dumber, don't and get fired cus you're not outputting what's expected of you these days.
I feel like AI is making senior's abilities atrophied and juniors slaughtered. As a junior you have to give yourselve enough time to truly and slowly understand what your doing with your own "words". But it feels like the one thing we don't have right now is time.
It feels like a race we can't catch up to unless we reach it by building an unstable base. It feels like the only thing we can do is move and adapt as fast as possible.
A counter argument is that if everyone is screwed, then no one is truly screwed. If everyone changes the way of doing things, then expecting the systems everyone before us went through to stay the same and screw us isn't the approach. The systems of building will change with us.
At the end of the day the formula of:
average dev ability * hours(effort) spent
Is going to be the determining factor for the baseline of work whether it is now, 10 years ago or 10 years in the future (unless we are considering AI being smarter than all of us, then everything is pointless anyways)
I genuinely believe the difficulty/amount of effort we are going to need to input is gonna stay the same
Eg: AI can build a frontend easily -> we can now make website extremely individualized for everyone instead of a general one -> back to same(or more) complexity level. Dumb example but you follow the easier makes it harder rule
- TBH, I don't know what the future will bring. I don't know whether the doomer mentality or the optimistic argument will hold. It is a tough life and we're just struggling through it. But I don't think worrying about the far future we don't know about will help.
Imma think short to medium term for now, which is all in AI and part time no AI coding.
What do y'all think about my nonsense rant.

International work opportunity
I need a design generalist who does marketing material, but is also comfortable with using figma.
Your potential tasks:
- Take over marketing related design tasks we have been doing (trade show booth, assets for mobile app, etc.)
- Prepare UI designs for motion design purposes.
- Design printable assets (trade show booth, flyers, banners, etc)
- Design advertising / socials creatives (posts for different socials)
Going to be honest, does not need to be best a class designer. But must be well experienced, extremely detail oriented, and aligned with brand.
Although we are an international company and compensation is obviously not in local currency, we do have an office here for collaboration and so, this is an in person, at the office job.
Share this to your channel / someone who you would think would be a good fit.

Oh dm me if you are a good fit btw
Some great [niche] figma plugins I use regularly
HTML.to.Design: Well this one is obviously named
Pricing: freemium with limits that reset monthly (per account 🙃)
https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1159123024924461424
Vector Maps: Download countries and regions' vector maps direct into your project
This one has really really good UX
Pricing: FREE
https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/777954172157933782
MockupMirror: mirror and sync any screen in your file to create user flows without creating extra versions of your design that you have to manually sync on every change later on. has a bit of learning curve to it but totally worth it
Pricing: FREE
https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/977817643287778988
Autoflow: automatically draw flow arrows in figma. really good detection, I use it in combination with mockupmirror.
Pricing: freemium with 50 flows (per file🙃)
https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/733902567457592893
Propstar: Generate all possible instances for your components, including every combination of variants and component properties, all in a tidy labelled table. I use my components themselves as a documentation for devs, so this one is really useful to bundle everything together.
Pricing: FREE
https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1116018586739867857
Vectorize bitmap: turn any raster (PNG/JPEG) image into a vector drawing. this one is niche but so needed when you need it. previously used to use adobe illustrator for this specific task when doing UI so it is much welcome
