“ It is part of the photographer’s job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country. Most photographers would feel a certain embarrassment in admitting publicly that they carried within them a sense of wonder, yet without it they would not produce the work they do, whatever their particular field. It is the gift of seeing the life around them clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right. It is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual’s temperament and environment.
— Bill Brandt

“ Designers, engineers and the schools that teach them should take note of the change that is taking place in the job market. The irreplaceable employees of the future are the design-savvy Software Engineer and the Interaction Designer that can write code.

We Can Be Heroes. Or Not.

Research backs this up. Software Engineers who work more than 8 hours introduce more defects.

Alex Payne, in Don’t Be A Hero:

If someone is working at four in the morning, something is deeply wrong. Figure out what’s broken and delegate the work out evenly across your team such that it doesn’t happen again. Don’t pat your hero on the back for “pulling another late-nighter”.

via marco

Every industry has its heroes. Twice this year, I’ve been approached to do an editorial illustration with a deadline of the next day. Both were easy jobs to turn down, because each time I was much too busy to do them well. But I think there’s another compelling reason to turn down opportunities like this.

Everyone acknowledges that saying no manages the expectations your clients and coworkers have for you. But, saying no also manages the expectations they have of your peers. Each time an illustrator, designer, engineer or programmer says yes to a job with a deadline too short, it raises the likelihood of the client perceiving that sort of timeline as acceptable. Some times they’ll know better. Sometimes they won’t. Regardless, the undesirable outlier can easily become the norm if enough people say yes.

I don’t mean to be ungrateful. I’m very thankful for opportunities. And yes, I know work is scarcer now that it has been in the past. But, that doesn’t mean that we should say yes to work that isn’t right for us. More so, it means we should acknowledge that our tolerance for unsatisfactory circumstances not only effects us, but our peers as well.
