Feedback is the breakfast of champions (and designers). Seek critique from peers and watch users interact with your design. It might sting, but it’s pure growth fuel. #UX #DesignLife

Following the previous post about the gambler AI.
Now the bigger picture. AI content has taken over the internet. Not long ago humans created ninety eight percent of everything online. Now most of it comes from machines. There is no way back.

ChatGPT has finally reached human-level intelligence.
They gave an AI ten thousand dollars and instructed it to trade crypto. It lost seven thousand two hundred after forty-two losing trades out of forty-four. But it keeps going.

Design and the 80/20 rule: usually 20% of features deliver 80% of the value. Identify those core tasks and make them great. If the main flow isn’t smooth, all the extra features won’t save the UX. #UX #ProductDesign

Never underestimate microcopy (those small bits of text in UI). A friendly error message or a clear button label can save the user’s day. UX writing is part of design! #UXWriting #UIDesign

Early career lesson: I undercharged for my design work, thinking it’d attract clients. It did, but the ones who pay pennies often don’t value design. Know your worth and don’t be afraid to charge for it. #design #freelance

I love exploring design communities but usually it’s chaos
Telegram, Slack, Discord, a hundred links and half of them are dead
Then I stumbled upon Designer Slack Community, a neat collection of active groups
Opened it, scrolled a bit, found a few lively spaces and got hooked

Design tool shoutout: the Stark plugin (for Figma) to check accessibility. It flags low contrast, simulates color blindness, etc. Inclusive design made easier! What tool boosts your workflow? #UX #DesignTools

Design workflow tip: Don’t design and critique at the same time. Separate your creative phase from your editing phase. Let ideas flow, then refine with fresh eyes later. #UX #Productivity

Quick UI Tip: Always check your color contrast. That pastel text on white might look chic, but if users can’t read it, it fails. Accessible contrast = better UX. #UIDesign #Accessibility

Your spacing system isn't broken; you just never had one.

“Just use H1” doesn't scale.
One team abandoned global typography styles like H1, Body, and Caption. Why? Because text isn't global—it's contextual. An H3 looks right in a card, too big in a modal, and unreadable in a tooltip. Designers override; developers tweak spacing; chaos grows.

"Just add a prop."
"Just tweak the style."
"Just one more variant."
This is how components slowly die. One team broke this cycle by making context the priority. Instead of cluttering the Card with props like isCompact, inFavorite, or forAdmin, they developed structured context logic.

If changing a button breaks your card, modal, and tabs, your components are too interdependent.
One team rebuilt their design system by flattening the component architecture. No more nesting nightmares. No more style leaks across layers.

Design systems don’t break at five components. They break at five teams.
