Weekly Design Links – 06/02/26

Still no new workflow. Still getting the links posted. It’s June. I need to have this workflow thing sorted by the end of the month. The only way to get there is by creating a deadline. Hold me accountable, gang.

Everyone’s a thought leader. Almost no one is thinking.

One core problem is that folks on LinkedIn want to be seen as thought leaders. If you aren’t trying to be a thought leader, are you even trying at life?

Copy a hacker news post and go ask a nearby slop machine to regurgitate it into some new form – but hold the em-dashes and the “not this, but that” pattern.
