I once read some opinion by some person on the internet saying that content has to be produced nonstop and that all trends become outdated within a day. That opinion received a huge amount of positive feedback, as if it were some big, important insight.

If I had the conscience to write such nonsense with such seriousness, I would just as seriously insult him personally for such stupidity or simply block him, but no.

Useful information doesn’t become outdated in a few hours; informational trash does. TikTok content that people forget about in a few minutes is actually negatively useful information.

Yet the first point is considered valid even by serious people, as if content must be produced nonstop. But ideas for content are not infinite.

So I decided to share a secret method for what to do when you’ve run out of ideas.

You don’t need to write anything and you don’t need to do anything if you don’t know what to do.

The need to consistently put something out every day/week/month is not for you or your audience. It’s for platforms that steal people’s attention using your content.

Build healthy relationships with those who read and watch you, instead of working for fucking platforms. And if you need to take a break, then take it: do something useful, go for a walk, watch a movie, and the idea will come on its own.

Just don’t forget to write it down somewhere.

I remember how fascinated I was by the first version of DALL·E, back when it was still invite-only, and the shock it gave me. The world had changed! It seemed to me that it was for the better.

Контекстные меню в приложениях

Контекстные меню подталкивают дизайнеров и разработчиков к тому, чтобы сбросить в них весь мусор в унифицированном виде, а интерфейс оставить чистым. Так лучше не делать.

The simplest solution

Once, on a master, I had this annoying click in just one spot. It showed up because of a mess of automations, special effects, unlucky layering of everything imaginable, and the piano sample had a super short attack that made it kind of "pop".
