Yep, it is a fat client with lousy performance. They tried to build Sketch + Principle in the same tool. Both those tools are super complicated software products. They should have created separate tools which complement each other.
I think this depends on personalities. I worked in an open office where there were people going crazy because there were a bunch of loud extroverts. I am extroverted and cubicles make me develop bad habits like watching YouTube all day, and such. I need constant interaction with people. Ideating with other designers gives me life, and expands my creativity.
So interestingly I found a way. I am not in a major city though. Whole Foods! They have cooked food inside this magical place. I eat there every single day.
"how much competence actually costs in the market now". This was a beautiful statement! I have worked with sooooooo many incompetent "leaders". I left my last role because the guy at the top was a phony, and did not have the emotional intelligence to control his arrogance, so he looked like a god damn fool in every meeting.
Agreed. My parents I guess just did not have time? I have no idea, I was just always home in front of a computer. Thankfully I was actually learning code, and stuff. I was a console gamer, not a PC gamer. My PC was cheap, and could not hang lol
