Is it a good news in the notoriously under-discussed AI climate impact topic? We didn't witness AI losing its job to AI. We witnessed AI getting more useful while spending less money in the process.

And I could have had more of them if I understood this sooner: Being good to work with beats being right. Build bridges. Don t burn them. 3. Judgement over perfect process When I started as designer, I was looking for the golden process. I thought great designers are taking some steps I don t, and that s why their work is so good. I had to learn how taste is growing with experience, and curiosity. Learn how to make sense of information. And to turn it to UX patterns.
Mine is to protect your peak hours. Here's a simple framework: First, master comms before mastering the schedule: Write with brutal clarity (lists, short sentences, no fluff) Drop links to all docs you mention (simple + helpful) Optimise for easy decisions & yes/no answers Explain why it matters for better context Bundle your comments and feedback Then hack your energy patterns: Learn to listen when your energy peaks and dips Build your schedule around your energy levels Save admin work for low-energy hours Finally, switch locations sometimes: Connect with peers for shared energy & momentum Try working from cafes / co-works The goal is to find your balance, and protect it. And the best way how to do that is to work on your own terms, and dodge energy draining back and forths.
