Claude: this endpoint does not exist at this provider so that’s why it’s not working.
Me: here’s a screenshot of them advertising their endpoint
Claude: you’re absolutely right, I see that it does indeed exist
Cocky bastards 😏

The amount of money I have to pay for Japanese “citizen” tax makes me want to exit this circus 🎪 😔

There were 2 moments where I nearly quit working in design:
1. When I realized it’s all manipulation to get people to buy crap they most likely don’t need.
2. When I realized most websites can be just text. (This is before I got more into product design)
I was thinking … here I am trying to influence people to buy stuff they don’t need while wasting years of their life (cumulatively) trying to make sense of whatever a designer thought was a good idea when all the visitor wanted was some info.
What walked me back a bit was realizing that design can be used for good - to help people find what they’re looking for and to save time instead of spending it reading walls of text.
The intersection of these contradictions is where you find most of the truly talented people - the ones who understand what it’s all about and the responsibility they hold in their hands.
But, I still think about every second I’ve made someone look at what I made, instead of what they could have done with that time…

Yes I went through this stage already.
It’s really all one needs. But unfortunately we seem to think people need to be wowed. And sometimes it does work… but the reality is that often people don’t even pay attention to anything you design on a website. They skim for info that’s important to them or whatever their environment at the moment allows for and move on. It’s more of a trust builder for most. If it looks like it’s trustworthy, maybe you pay some attention but otherwise close.
