Grafician Hate Why?
Oooooft.
These fine examples of grafician's work have Red Dot award, ADC nail, and Cannes Lion Grand Prix written all over them.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
We prostrate ourselves at the feet of your immense talent.

- Nope. Not joking, utopian.
It's the genuine article.Continuity - Here's some context for you:
Your work is shit.palimpsest - The F symbol is for Fog, a secure chat app
Icons I actually designed a long time ago in Sketch to test the app when it was released, then redid them in Figmagrafician - @palimseslf Pretty strong opinion coming from a developer :))) but that's just your opiniongrafician

Props For:
Huge props to the guy who smashed his Escalade into my parked (and empty) 2015 Subaru yesterday. He wrote an apologetic, sincere note with his phone number and called his insurance company to report the accident. One hour after the accident (my wife was in a meeting at her office and had no idea what happened), his insurer called me to tell me they had an appointment set up with a quality local body shop, and had arranged for a rental car to be waiting at the body shop for my wife to drive.
Kind of sad that I feel lucky that this person was doing the right thing, but here we are. Damages are exceeding $4k and we won't have to pay a dime.- Wow. Props to that guy and the insurance company. I didn't know anyone who was supposed to would choose to be that helpful.CyBrainX

"better yet, let's see your latest works you monkeys"
- graficianOK, chief. I'm game!
I've created tools to enhance the QBN experience. I've also made the data available to others willing to do the same.
https://observablehq.com/@palimp…What the fuck have you built for QBN lately?
- He never acknowledges any criticism because... facing the truth would damage his made up persona...canoe
- he wasnt talking to you.. you are a snake not a monkey...neverscared
- Right, so you write some code, anything else?grafician
- exactly ... code doesnt count...neverscared
- shoot a deer or hunt a rabbit and make us a meal..not some code...neverscared
- Moving the goalposts again I see.
I'm still waiting on those web buttons.palimpsest - I should add code written years ago because he is no designer, no creative, posts weird stuff, thinks he is on 4chan or whatevergrafician
- pali, just *look at this award-winner right here. LOOK!
https://i.haasie.com…Continuity - Not changing any goal posts, post creative work, this is designer's forum
Do you have anything creative to post?grafician - I just did.palimpsest
- ^ And there you have it again.palimpsest
- u have to drink blood to impress a romanian - dracul style - the only way to gain some respect... its long embedded in their history.neverscared
- So you consider some old code your contribution to this wonderful creative forum?
LOLgrafician - #fuckthatoldcodeneverscared
- just kidding..neverscared
- We are all waiting to see the high standards of work you put us in your own work.palimpsest
- I've said this before: If there's something I'm proud of in my mediocrity is knowing the value of my work.palimpsest
- No, you just have to mind your business
Also post something creative
That hard?grafician - Exactly, how hard is it?palimpsest
- Post some logos, posters, anything design?
Can you do that? Do you do anything creative?
Are you just a coder? Dev?
Working with startups? Agency exp?grafician - Fax your creative work over if you're having problems posting it. I'll do it for you.palimpsest
- So you don't have anything creative to add?
Ok "chief" got it, you're just a geek, with no creative experiencegrafician - Still waiting on that creative work, chief.palimpsest
- I've shown you mine.
Now you have performance anxiety?palimpsest - No, you've shown ZERO creative stuff :))
If you think some scripts that scrap QBN written years ago make you important...grafician - ... he says, without even a hint of irony.
https://i.haasie.com…
https://i.haasie.com…Continuity - Here's the thing, I never made these to feel important. They were meant to be truly shared.
You asked us to post work and that I did.palimpsest - If you don't see anything creative in the idea of enhancing the community that's on you.palimpsest
- LOL
"anything creative in the idea of enhancing the community"
HAHHAHAHAHAAHHAH
THIS IS TRULY AMAZINGgrafician - "They were meant to be truly shared."
So @palimp WHO exactly is USING these scripts you call your "creative" work?
Are these people in the room with us?grafician - Surely you have a final product you’ve shipped graf? You call yourself a senior, so surely you have designers who report to you on products that ship?monospaced
- You’ve been here for years. At some point you must have been promoted to a higher level where you are responsible for designing actual client work.monospaced
- I saw these guys posting some screenshots and icons. Not terrible but I don’t see a design direction.monospaced
- I work as an IC directly with the founders, no need to manage any teams, no need for promotions. Going into management after some years of work is not ideal.grafician
- You don't see a "design direction" because I don't post full case studies, and these guys just posted some public available works that I upload to dribbblegrafician
- This month will be working on a medical app for dental labs across the EU. Last couple days I already designed the mobile app.grafician
- And yes, I can still post on QBN and ALSO do full work, but I never felt the need to update you on my business.
I really don't care about QBN opinions anywaygrafician - ofcmonospaced
- You really come off as someone who can put ego aside and act like a true adult. Kudos to taking the high road.monospaced

Grafician Hate Why?
You all need a hobby.
- Putting out my first EP, yet I'm still able to stand up to QBN tyranny, be a dad and a designercanoe
- Think of all the food I post. If that's not a hobby, I don't know what is.Continuity
- Lol. You reminded me of a very important mentor I had... now also a very good friend: bruster.com.uy who uses to tell me, every time I show him some...maquito

Just started watching White Lotus. Second to last episode of the second season.
Outstanding. Gotta say. Cast, story, soundtrack.

- Never watched Game of Thrones, too.jagara
- Started it and stopped after one Episode. Didn't catch me at all, I simply dislike everyone and the "humor" is not mine, it feels forced.Longcopylover
- @Longcopylover Felt the same way, but kept going. It grew on me. Also, most of the characters are meant to be unlikable, vapid and annoying.jagara

- Didn't he impose that he has more command of the English language than you do?canoe
- Which was absurd. In my opinion, you're one of the wittiest and most eloquently spoken members on QBN.canoe
- When it comes to English, you're like a specialized dental tool, as opposed to him: a jackhammer.canoe
- Thank you!
It's by no merit of my own. I grew up in Baltimore, that fact made me savor his judgment of my English skills even more.palimpsest - She's beautifulNBQ00

Suggest a good movie…
Every year I'll throw this on with a bottle of wine and some cheese and think about days when it was a little bit more straightforward.
- Is sideways a wine film with a little golf, or really a golf film with a little wine?DaveO
- Lot of wine from what I remember, really loved that film at the time.PhanLo
- Its a very cosy watch on a friday night woth a bottle of pinot!DaveO
- Good laughs, watched recently. It gets pretty off the wall near the end, for a movie about two guys going on a golf/winery tripnb

Grafician Hate Why?
Grafician's response: "Lol America does not had a golden age. You are basically a MAGA person now. You might as well directly voted Trump."
I'm not MAGA. You just need me to be so you don’t have to deal with being wrong.
Not everyone who calls you out worships the sociopathic 8 year old president. Sometimes your arguments are simply straight up mxyzptlk.
- You hide your insecurity behind arrogance and fake intellectualism. You don’t actually want a conversation — you want to perform, to dominate, to feel smarter..canoe
- than everyone else. Every time someone disagrees with you, you slap the MAGA label on them because it’s easier than admitting your arguments might be weak.canoe
- What’s funny is you act like you’re the polar opposite of Trump, but you share a lot more in common than you think — the need to be right at all costs...canoe
- the mockery, the inflated sense of self, the obsession with enemies. You just swapped the red hat for a superiority complex and some bitter coffee.canoe
- It's so transparent, and so boring to me.canoe
- Your deflection, rage at systems you doesn’t participate in, hyperfocus on America despite being European...canoe
- is likely covering deep-seated frustration with your own country, career, or social status.canoe
- Now, canoe, I just want to say that agree with you, and have absolutely no beef to speak of. However: "rage at systems you doesn’t participate in, hyperfocusContinuity
- ... on America despite being European"
The fact is, what happens in the US more often than not have knock-on effects in the rest of the world. So, yeah, theContinuity - ... rest of us out here are pretty concerned about what goes on in your country. That said: most of us also have a life, and don't hyperfocus,Continuity

That's all I've got to say about that, really. Carry on!Continuity - Also, alwayssca—oops, neverscared: get a hold of yourself, ffs. you're getting really tedious, too.Continuity
- Topical discussion is fine. He's over the top, obsessed, it's part of his being, unapologetically addicted.canoe

Get a fucking life, go to vacation in Canada, stfup ;)))grafician - Coming here people talking about me again, BRO LOSE YOUR OBSESSION ABOUT ME

Job hunt update.
In 3 weeks, about 100 jobs applied for.
Had about 20 knock-backs with most of them being instant or within a day or so which I think many were robots doing keyword/cv checks.
But only now after the 3 weeks starting to see personalised replies coming through from real people.
Got an interview for a remote position tonight with NY company.
And got a call from a fintech company recruiter asking if he can put me forward.
And i've one take-home exercise that I started today for another fintech company close to home.I think take home exercises are a good thing for someone new to the game or junior designers, maybe even middleweight if they need them to prove something. But for someone who's had a 25 year career in senior, CD and Team Lead positions all whilst still being a hands-on designer is a bit of a pisstake. I mean, if I've made it THIS far, then surely I've got the skills.
- Tell the fintech people to get fucked. You don't do free work, and it's insulting to the length and breadth of your career.Continuity
- Congrats! Thats a lot of action so you must be doing something right. :)monospaced
- It's ChatGPT I have to thank mono.
My writing skills wouldn't have got me this far I don't think. haha.microkorg - I would send them a Let Me Google That For You link or a prompt link.palimpsest
- I refuse to do Design tests and have had no trouble getting hired.nb
- I'm doing this one as I'd like the job, its a great opportunity for a lead role in an adtech company that I think I have a good chance at.microkorg
- as a recruiter for the company contacted me.
But if it was for a company I knew were just sending out tests to hundreds of folk i'd refuse.microkorg
