I have over 10 years of professional graphic design experience, and it frustrates me to no end when clients insist I use AI to create ads or flyers. Why are they paying a Graphic Designer to create a generic, ugly AI flyer?

Because AI is the in thing. Bespoke stuff is out.

Why? Do you get paid more to do it the hard way?

It’s an identity shift, for sure. Consider your expertise the key ingredient to discernment. Making sure that AI garbage doesn’t go out the door. Generate options with AI, and then be the expert to steward what finally goes live.

They won’t be for long.

Mullets were the #1 hairstyle for years...not because it's a good looking haircut, it's just what was in at the time.

Hello everyone ,
I’m currently working in insurance customer service at an agency. I work in the mortgage department assisting w mortgage changes , payments etc. I’ve been thinking about becoming a claims adjuster most likely for property damage . Is it worth it ??? I hear a lot of talk about how claims adjusting is a lot of work and very demanding but I think my current position has prepared me for the challenge. What are some good companies I maybe should apply for after getting my license?

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
