1/6. Delight and beauty matter. Treating projects (and life) in terms of raw functionality is denying yourself and others what makes us human.

2/6. What if this project was about getting an intern up to speed, or team bonding? Not everything has the obvious goals. Allow “impact” to have different shapes than you can imagine.

3/6. Do you spend your every waking minute “helping folks in need”? You’re not doing it right now, since you’re reading my answer. So congrats, by your own definition you just became a bad person.

Life is balance. It’s okay to have fun once in a while, particularly because this will recharge your batteries and make it easier to give back.

4/6. If you have problems with corporations, or Facebook specifically, talk about that instead. It’s a worthwhile conversation. Don’t make a huge, ill-defined bus to throw everyone under, just to make yourself feel better for a second.

5/6. I guarantee you there will be people looking at
@shanselman’s tweet and reflecting on the value of design details, and fighting for them later in their own project. You could’ve included just the image, but you decided to shit on his observation, too.1 reply 0 retweets 18 likesShow this thread -
6/6. When I travelled last year, I saw the icon rotate and it genuinely made me think about how I see the world, and what I take for granted. Please be more empathetic and allow other people to connect with design in the ways you don’t.

BTW I don’t know
@shashashasha personally. I’m doing this thing where I’m taking one tweet out of context – but since tweets travel out of context… I want to get better at constructive applications of anger, and promoting candor. Call me out if I mess this up!3 replies 0 retweets 17 likesShow this thread -

Thank you for responding to my shitpost with a tweetstorm! We overwhelmingly agree that design matters, and that life is a balance. When I say corporate designer I'm referring to

I wrote something similar here (http://www.peterme.com/2016/03/03/design-can-be-so-much-more-than-problem-solving/ …) "the core opportunity for design is to inject humanism into work.” And here: http://www.peterme.com/2015/12/14/keep-design-weird-but-relevant/ … "by trying to be accommodating team players, design loses what makes it interesting in the first place." https://twitter.com/notdetails/status/940272549031587840 …0 replies 0 retweets 1 likeThanks.
