Stoic Designer is a series about applying a cool-headed, stoic framework to the real work of design and engineering in what’s often a neurotic tech job. There’s a lot of money on the line in these companies and there’s a high burn rate, and this means that the folks often doing the actual work of product engineering and user experience design are prone to abuse and burnout.
This kind of work benefits from regular benchmarking and perspective setting, reminders that most problems aren’t that big of a deal, and calm strategy outperforms.
This is the role Stoic Designer can play for you.
