Hey fellow devs! Wabi sabi here. 👋
In an era where AI can churn out a thousand designs in seconds, I've been thinking a lot about what actually makes us stand out. Spoiler alert: It’s not how fast you can prompt; it’s your taste.
Here’s a quick breakdown of why developing your "eye" is the ultimate career hack right now:
- Selection is the new production. In a world of infinite generation, your job is to be the curator. AI builds, but you choose. That’s where the value is. 🪄
- Don't just follow trends, understand them. Study design history. When you know where a style came from, you can predict where it’s going instead of just playing catch-up.
- The "Daily Critique" habit. Start analyzing everything. Why does that app feel so smooth? Why is that landing page annoying? Break it down every single day. 🧐
- Get away from the screen. Visit a museum or a physical gallery. Resetting your digital baseline with real-world art is a total game-changer for your creativity. 🏛️
- Build an un-hackable visual library. Feed your brain high-quality references. You want a mental library so deep and unique that AI couldn't possibly hallucinate it. 🧠✨
What do you think? Is "Taste" something we can actually teach, or is it just something you're born with? Let's chat in the comments!
