one of the most positive influences on me in recent months has been when Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) responded to criticism of his hilariously under-designed Amethyst logo by updating it to an even more janky, under-designed logo 😅
having worked at digital design agencies for most of my career i've always found it challenging to break out of the "logo-fiddling" stage of projects and just get to making something that works and delivers results
the emphasis on shipping is an underappreciated virtue of the developer community, and as a non-dev i'm trying to become better about it
i know too many people who "start companies" but get their logo, llc, website, bank account, and business cards set up before finding a single user or paying customer
marketing is valuable and has its place, but also maybe just build the product and keep improving it first
forget about the logo ffs
