I repurposed an old iamdevloper strip I drew a few years ago. I have no shame.

Interviewing Ex-Big Tech Designers
In conversation about a year ago from mastodon.cloud permalink
Attachments
1. Ex-Meta - "I increased the spread of fake news 32%, sowed 56% more familial disharmony and personally helped to destabilise at least 2 global democracies." Ex-Amazon - "I made it easy to undercut and bankrupt small businesses, while also making it impossible to distinguish between thousands of cheap Chinese knockoff products." Ex-Palantir - "I helped kill a LOT of people." Ex-Spotify - "I've spent the last two years optimising how best to REALLY fuck over as many artists as humanly as possible." Ex-Netflix - "I made it 14% more difficult to decide what to watch of an evening and increased marital strife by at least 39%." Ex-Microsoft - "I kept a really low profile and waited for my shares to vest." Ex-Google - "No idea. What's your canteen like here?" Ex-X - "Please... I just really need a hug." Ex-Apple - A man with an Apple logo on his suit stands menacingly behind the designer. The designer says sweating "I'm, uh... not really at liberty to discuss it."

I feel powerless in the face of the rampant adoption of A.I. with little to no societal safeguarding or legal protection, so I make jokes while the driverless steamroller slowly crushes us all to death.

1. Frame 1: A couple sit in the kitchen looking at a gigantic monster destroying the city nearby. The wife says "Goodness, that gigantic monster they created is trampling the city! What are we going to do, Jeffrey?" Frame 2: Jeffrey replies "It's too late, Cynthia. It's out there now and it's not going to go away. You either have to figure out how you can integrate it into your life, or find yourself being left behind." Frame 3: Cynthia replies "Really? You don't think there's anything anyone can do to try to mitigate the damage it might cause?" Frame 4: Jeffrey replies "No. You just have to learn how to live with it, Cynthia." The monster is very close to their house now. Frame 5: The monster crushes their house under its gigantic foot. Frame 6: Cynthia and Jeffrey sit in the rubble of their house. Cynthia cries "Jeffery, our beautiful house!". Jeffrey shouts back "I SAID YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE WITH IT, CYNTHIA!"

1. Panel 1: Title says 2nd January 2024. Four people in a Standup meeting. The leader says "Here we go! First Standup of the new year! You go first, Derek." Panel 2: Derek says "Yesterday I was stuffing leftover mince pies into my face and falling asleep on the sofa watching back-to-back James Bond films. Today i'm going to spend at least 4 hours trying to figure out what I was doing this time 2 weeks ago. No blockers." Panel 3: The man next to him says "Yesterday I got shitfaced in a nightclub and woke up this morning in a strange flat cuddling a poodle. Today i'm going to take copious amounts of co-codamol and pretend I remember what I do for a living. Blockers: my bastard pulsating head." Panel 4: The last man says "I plead the fifth". The leader looks annoyed and says "Welcome back everyone".

Design as a Service.

1. Panel 1: One designer says to another "I'm going to start a Design Subscription Service!" The other one replies "Christ, are you jumping on that bandwagon too? Go on then, show me your website." Panel 2: Mock up of a website that says LIMITED DESIGN LTD.ONE MONTHLY FEE. To be paid upfront because i'm not endlessly chasing invoices for this shit as well". Below it says "Why hire a designer who can work directly with your teams, when I can just bosh out some templated crap on the cheap asynchronously and hope that your developers are cool with it." Panel 3: Four panels of text say "Two changes allowed and then you pay more. I'm not stupid, why would I voluntarily invite that 'endless' madness into my life? Entirely contextual turn around times. Apps take longer to design than a banner ad does, for fucks sake. Just 1 contact okay? One of you is bad enough. I can't deal with a whole bunch of you piling into Slack and arguing endlessly over which button CTA feels more 'on brand'. Panel 4: The second designer says "Is your USP going to be brutal honesty with your clients at EVERY stage of the process?" The first replies "Hopefully in one month I'll have made enough to go on holiday and none of them will want to speak to me again."

1. Panel 1: A man and a woman sit with a Medium. The Medium says "You understand contacting the dead is a very serious business and is not to be undertaken lightly?" The man replies "We understand Madame Xanadu. I assure you this is VERY important." Panel 2: The Medium takes their hands, they close their eyes, and she calls out "OH SPIRIT! We summon thee to return to us now. Your troubled friends have questions of great import they would ask of you. Will you heed their call and commune with them once more?" Panel 3: The ghost of a Designer appears as ectoplasm from her mouth saying "OoOoOo... fOr WhAt rEasOn havE yoU diStUrbEd mY bliSsful etErnal slUmbeR aNd DraGged me bAck tO thiS heLlish MortAl pLanE? oOoOo" Panel 4: The man says "Sorry mate, which file were your latest designs in? We can't find it." And the woman then says "You also didn't submit a timesheet before you were hit by that bus..."

The Seat of Unblocking
In conversation Saturday, 11-Nov-2023 01:08:35 JST from mastodon.cloud permalink
Attachments
1. Across a few frames, the Designer is moving something around the canvas in Figma. Clicking and tapping listlessly he looks more frustrated, until he finally gives up and goes to the toilet. Sitting on the toilet he's hit by inspiration and runs back to his desk. He furiously clicks and taps the idea out and he looks triumphant as the file is saved. The final panel just shows some final text sitting above an empty toilet. It reads "SECRET #5,692: THE TOILET.mSeat of unblocking and ceramic font of all inspiration since 1596"

1. Panel 1: Two people are interviewing a designer, holding their phones. The 1st interviewer says to the designer: “Lovely, we just have a few more questions. Why did your company implement this weird app feature?’ Designer replies: “Because the CEO told us to.” Panel 2: 2nd interviewer asks: “Did you run any research or user testing to validate the concept?” Designer replies: “No, because the CEO doesn’t like to hear any opinions that contradict his own.” Panel 3: 1st interviewer ask: “Wy didn’t it get iterated on later?” Designer replies: “Because the CEO said we were done with it and now had to work on something else he wanted instead.” Panel 4: 2 interviewer asks: “Do you have a problem with pushing back on difficult stakeholders?” Designer replies: “Only if their stake could plunge into the heart of my continued employment at any conceivable moment of displeasure…”

The Boss says: "Wow, yeah, you really suck at this." The Designer angrily replies: "I bloody TOLD you."

'Disruptor' is a Red Flag for me, now.

1. Panel 1: A Tech CEO is being interviewed onstage at a conference. He says: "We’re looking to disrupt the {INSERT NAME} industry!" Panel 2: The Interviewer asks: "So by ‘disrupt’ do you mean operate in a space traditionally monopolised by large bloated corporations that overcharge their customers for their services and are mired in so much internal bureaucracy they are unable to innovate sufficiently rapidly to compete with you?" Panel 3: She continues: "Or do you mean cut as many corners as possible to help financially undercut existing rivals, get to market quickly without alerting regulatory bodies and exploit a marginalised workforce for your own profit with no intention of upholding basic employment rights, pay and living standards?" Panel 4: The Tech CEO pauses, and then says "Uhh... what was the first one again?"
