I often have similar thoughts about my own work and my side projects are nowhere near as big or useful as the one mentioned by the author.

Found it. Still on my inspiration list for future blog posts. At least I'm 99% sure mine won't meta-fail as hard as that one because I'm just a random nobody remixing ideas.

I must write this kind of article myself someday. Being on a receiving side I find them much more interesting than another success story.

People, blog about your failures. If they're not educative, at least as a reader I can find comfort in thinking "wow, I'm not the only one".

This particular link was sitting in my bookmarks but I feel it's the whole blog, even if inactive, that deserves a lot of my attention.

I enjoy reading perspectives of people who were in the industry long before I started. They remind me I'm just a tiny part of a long history and most of my problems aren't novel or unique. I need this kind of mentorship in my life instead of more bullshitty Medium / Substack articles.

Back in the day of my previous side project I had to ask a designer to do that for me. Then this tool emerged.
