Design Twitter is a paradox.

On a good day, it feels like a global studio. You see generous tear-downs, thoughtful portfolio feedback, people openly sharing how they think, not just what they ship. You feel less alone. You feel seen.

Scroll a little longer and it turns: Hustle culture dressed up as advice. Gatekeeping framed as "standards." Career theater masquerading as wisdom. Enough impostor syndrome fuel to power a small nation.

Design Twitter isn't evil, not in and of itself. But it is distorted and the longer you stay inside it without understanding the game, the easier it is to confuse the performance of design with the practice of it.

Hey Contra folks 👋 design is… let’s say not my strongest muscle. I’m currently experimenting with Canva and doing my best to not commit visual crimes on my portfolio.

I’m refreshing my profile and would genuinely love some honest advice on the very basic thumbnails I'm creating.

If you’re up for it, feel free to drop feedback in the comments or DM me 🫶

Thank you! @Canva @Contra HQ @Contra @Figma

Nice direction so far 👀 One thing that might help — increasing contrast between headline and background could improve scannability. Thumbnails live or die on visual hierarchy.

Dear Founders

Stop framing it as "great design vs. shipping fast."

The real choice is assumptions vs. actual learning.

Ship this thing, get the data, then make it pretty.

Guessing in private is the silent killer.
